Welcome to Glengrove
Stunning color palettes layered with close attention to detail meet vintage-inspired arches, scalloped edges, and more in the Glengrove home.
This beautifully decorated space is packed with personality, beautifully blending eclectic colors with traditional shapes and patterns to add a charming yet reinvented feel. From glamorous vintage-inspired lighting and elaborate molding, to quirky yet quaint details like powder blue trim and front door, designer Ashley Montgomery perfectly captures a whimsically cheerful feel in every room.
Let’s take a tour
The Entryway
The subdued cotton-candy color palette of this fun entryway, featuring powder blue trim and front door alongside pastel pink walls, envelops you in a comforting, welcoming environment the second you step through the door.
The checkered tile and arched doorways maintain the space’s unique personality while introducing more traditional design elements.
The Main Room
The primary living room is one of the most captivating spaces in the home. Unexpected colors and textures blend seamlessly with classic silhouettes and patterns, mixing modern design with traditional accents to build an eccentric area all its own. The attention to detail in this room does not go unnoticed, as the intricate moulding, arched built-ins, and use of mixed materials come together in a charming sense of harmony.
The Kitchen
A breathtaking marble backsplash steals the show in this striking kitchen. The wood flooring and cabinetry, scalloped counter stools, and unlacquered brass hardware only add to the intricacies of this space, while a grandiose, luxurious kitchen chandelier hangs elegantly overhead.
Oversized vintage art, plaid curtains to match the main living room, and small shelving featured in the powder blue range prove once again that when it comes to creating the perfect design, it’s all in the details.
The Study
Pulling design details from other areas in the home, the study echoes standout elements of the same uniquely tiled floor featured in the entryway, as well as traditional moulding, elegantly arched built-in shelving, and a stunning patterned wallpaper to bring everything together in one warm, cohesive space.
The Powder Room
The powder room is full of soft color and charm. Powder blue, scalloped marble edges border the marble countertop, reminiscent of details featured in the kitchen and colors found in the entryway, while the eccentric wallpaper, decorative mirror, and intricate wall sconces give the room a fresh and inviting feel.
The Butler’s Pantry
This fresh and quaint secondary kitchen space takes an even more charming approach to traditional design, featuring again curved elements like the arched doorways and cabinets, which pair perfectly with a simple tiled backsplash, and, of course, a classic powder blue and white color palette.
The Office
This intimate office area melds a soft pink color palette with traditional furniture silhouettes, most notably seen in the vintage-inspired table lamp, wall mirror, curtains, and desk. The botanical prints lining the wall introduce a natural element to the space, creating a cozy and inviting room to work and relax in.
The Mudroom
Simple and stunning, the powder blue shelving in the mudroom brings a bit of a refined touch to the space, while the warm floor tiling, floral curtains, and wooden accent furniture maintain a feeling of traditional charm.
Ashley Montgomery’s Fresh Take on Classic Style
A fresh color palette, classic silhouettes, and endless amounts of intricate details create a finished home that is nothing short of an extraordinary example of an elevated take on the arts and crafts revival.
Re-imagining old-world design in a new and eclectic way, Ashley Montgomery Design’s Glengrove home is a perfect example of what she describes as an “organic, collected, and unexpectedly effortless” design style. Follow Ashley Montgomery Design on Instagram to see more of her stunning work.
