Paint Colors & Details from a 1931 Timeless Home Renovation
Entry & Stairs
Beck shared the journey renovation of her home on IG so do visit her there to see where this home began. What a transformation of the entry area and stairs.
The attention to even the smallest details is so honorable. Look at the hardware chosen for these custom doors that were added:

Benjamin Moore White Dove in a Timeless Kitchen
When I saw the before photos of this space, it was shocking to see what is possible with thoughtful design.
![M. E. Beck Design - beautiful kitchen with breakfast nook in Maria E. Beck's 1931 renovated Texas home. #traditionalstyle #kitchendesign #bmwhitedove #timelesskitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/maria-e-beck-1931-house-renovation-20.jpg)
Maria Beck noted White Dove is a favorite, and it’s easy to see why.
With a light reflectance value (LRV) of 83.16, this off white reflects a considerable amount of light yet feels soft and clean.
![M. E. Beck Design - Benjamin Moore White Dove in renovated kitchen with brass range hood in Maria E. Beck's 1931 renovated Texas home. #traditionalstyle #bmwhitedove #timelesskitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/maria-e-beck-1931-house-renovation-14.jpg)
That brass range hood, LaCornue range, beautiful window coverings, and builtins are such memorable design features.
![Detail of LaCornue range in timeless kitchen by Maria E. Beck Design.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/maria-e-beck-1931-house-renovation-11.jpg)
And you can’t miss the scallop details in this home! Whether it’s the backsplash or window valance…such a classic repetition.

In fact, lots of curves in this kitchen (chairs, chandelier, table, cabinet toe tick, banquette, and plates on the wall) are perfect with the Shaker style cabinets and other linear elements.

I loved all of the understated beauty including gorgeous brass hardware and cheerful green.

Touches of Blue
Pretty blues find their way into so many rooms of this beautiful home.

I would never tire of this blue sofa, and isn’t that the key to getting timeless design right?

When you choose pieces with which you can’t imagine parting and colors that feel like old friends…
![Farrow & Ball Light Blue painted cabinetry with brass hardware - M. E. Beck Design. #farrowandballlightblue](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/maria-e-beck-1931-house-renovation-12-pool-house-farrow-ball-light-blue.jpg)
The paint color on the built-ins? Farrow & Ball Light Blue.

Abundant Texture for Contrast
Layering beautiful contrasting textures (rustic stone, woven blinds, sumptuous upholstery, hobnail glass) effectively creates a lively energy and so much character.

I love it! A lot of it reminds me of the British home design magazines that I favor, especially the wallpapers. Thanks for including paint colors.

Yay! It really does have that classic European influenced look. I took an interior design course taught by the UK-based designer Rita Konig, and it reminds me of her work. So much thoughtful layering, attention to detail, and curation. Thanks for reading!
Renovation, the subject of this piece is really impressive. It incorporates contemporary amenities while maintaining the elegance of the original 1931 house. The result is a classic and sophisticated living area, with clear attention to preserving historical integrity.
The 1931 home renovation is a work of art. Preserving the original historic charm while seamlessly incorporating modern updates is mighty impressive!

Thanks so much for taking time to comment. 🙂
The most beautiful home I’ve ever seen. Is there any way you would share the stove color with me ?

So beautiful! It appears to be Summer Blue, but it’s hard to know with lighting and photography edits – in some shots it appears more Pebble Gray.
