Designers Frank Slesinski and Serena Brosio collaborated on the charming living room in the Gatehouse. “One of the main things we did was add a window seat, which looks like it should always have been here,” Slesinski says. “Our whole goal with this space was basically to turn the lights on in the room, bring in the garden that’s outside, and kind of have an experience of a breath of fresh air,” Brosio says. Hand-painted floors were the jumping-off point for designer Amy Peltier’s soothing primary bedroom design. “It was so much work, but it turned out beautiful.” The firm wanted the space to feel “light and airy and breezy,” and incorporated fabrics and wall coverings by Thibaut in a soft color palette.

The landmark mansion was built in 1902 by architect Joseph J. Blick for Gertrude Potter Daniels, who paid $15,000 for the shingle-style home. In 1905, Susanna Bransford Emery-Holmes—known as the Silver Queen thanks to the source of her late husband’s fortune—purchased the home and soon made it her own. In 1922, she spent $37,000 to have the Postle Company of Los Angeles, who also built the Pasadena Playhouse, remodel it into an English Tudor Revival–style mansion, giving it the regal exterior that remains today.

The owners retained the first floor’s original layout, which consists of a foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen; the classic floor plan is what gives this American Foursquare-style home its name. Despite the intentional lack of an open floor plan, the design choices make it feel cohesive. “I’m all about gardens connecting the architecture into the landscape,” landscape architect Timothy John Palcic tells AD PRO. He used a limited palette of chartreuse and dark hues that nod to the brick exterior and arranged benches to create intimate seating areas within the larger English-garden-inspired space. “I really feel like the dining room is a forgotten room,” says the designer, who set out to prove how vital the space is to a home.

Designer Stephanie Hatten updated the Gatehouse Kitchen, turning it into an airy English-country-inspired space. An eye-catching natural stone by Walker Zanger was selected for the counters and backsplash, and the space was outfitted with the latest Monogram appliances. Native California wildflowers accent the Arroyo Vista Garden, which was designed with fire safety in mind. Landscape architect Elisa Read Pappaterra filled the center fountain with cascading succulents. Jerome Thiebault created a polished and petite bathroom complete with storage and a shower. Troweled cement plaster was applied to the walls, and handcrafted Zia tile adds pattern to the floor.

Laundry is located on the second floor and there’s a finished basement that could easily serve as a game room, media room or home office. “A private water closet is rare in homes of this age, and the arched entry to the rainfall shower with a wall of body jets surrounds you for a spa-like retreat,” he says. Then go for this set of four, boasting a rich earth tone and a unique finish that mimics the beauty of clay. The rim detail is a nice touch, and they're safe to use in the dishwasher and microwave.

Nods to Pasadena’s famous peacocks can be found throughout the designs, and many creators fearlessly brought in statement floors, enveloped their spaces with jewel tones, and added texture to ceilings. Others focused on bringing the beauty of the estate’s gardens and views inside with verdant murals, floral fabrics, and nature-inspired lighting. As the Pasadena Showcase House of Design enters its 59th year, it’s returning to a familiar setting. Tasked with changing the house's dark interior to match its bright and cheerful exterior, designer Erin Feasby reinterprets coastal cool with beautiful custom built-ins and a whole new lighter and brighter color palette. The kitchen’s white cabinetry has ample storage, including a prep area with a wine fridge that’s adjacent to the main kitchen space.
An umbrella that offers adequate sun protection, a great side table to rest a drink (mocktails, anyone?) and woven glassware that'll elevate the most basic tabletop. Samatha Williams’s Tearoom in the Gatehouse is brimming with vintage charm and elegant accents. Working with Jacqueline Black and Michelle Porreca, Williams brought in a Chinoiserie wall covering to give the space a garden-like atmosphere. Designer Lara Hovanessian packed plenty of bold design elements into the powder room and adjacent lounge. A moody House of Hackney floral wall covering lines the dressing area, which leads to a powder room accented with a Kelly Wearstler’s Graffito II from Walnut Wallpaper. A black-and-white triangular mosaic tile floor by Artistic Tile from Mission Tile West puts a contemporary twist on the classic checkered pattern.
The firm used a mix of fabrics and wall coverings by Ralph Lauren Home from Designers Guild throughout the space.
