home + design David Papazian David Papazian FROM LEFT Simon redesigned the kitchen island and hung a custom-made brass pot rack. The powder bath's low ceiling was lifted and an antique table with a vessel sink gives the small room more space. inspire Simon’s method: that of pulling together a mix of furnishings, treatments and accessories that can convey the homeowners’ individuality and still retain the prevailing architecture. The process took ten months and generally didn’t involve shopping from catalogs. “There was a lot of digging through crates at antique stores and flea markets,” Huigens said. “Vicki introduced me to the joy and appreciation of it.” Simon agrees. “It’s the treasure hunt,” she said with a grin. “That’s what makes my job really fun.” Finding one-of-a-kind items means finding unique sources, whether a booth in a dusty antique mall or the studio of a local maker. Take the antique map dealer that Simon discovered in Portland. “It’s the kind of place you expect in New York City,” Simon said. “His whole house is maps.” The Huigens spent hours flipping through his wares in order to find pieces that resonated, such as the 600-year-old map of the Pacific Ocean that’s now framed in the living room. “[Maps] are an art form that we’ve always enjoyed, but we also appreciate the science behind them,” Huigens said. For items they couldn’t locate, Simon had them custom-made, such as the copper top on the kitchen table, a bespoke brass pot rack and the carpet runner on the stairs. “It was very educational for us,” Huigens said of working with Simon. “I don’t think I’ll ever enter a furniture shop or an antique store the same way. I used to hate it, but now it’s a pastime.” Furnishings from different eras and styles were joined to create just the right mix, which is Simon’s specialty. In the living room, she combined a 1970 Italian Hollywood Regency style coffee table with antique English Jacobean armchairs and a 1960s-era C. Jere brutalist sculpture. In order to prevent visual chaos, Simon used strategic contrast. “Everything is strict geometry here,” she said of the Foursquare’s architecture. So she counteracted it with the repeated use of soft, sinuous lines, such as in the scroll of a table leg or the delicate swirl of the lotus wallpaper. In the case of the kitchen and powder room, Simon needed to make thoughtful tweaks to ensure the rooms functioned better and still flowed with the rest of the house. In the kitchen, she noticed that the scale of the island was off. “It was a very narrow thing,” she said. “It looked really out of place.” She redesigned it for a better fit, including an overhang for stool seating and an elegant end-grain butcher block counter. In the powder bath, a dropped ceiling crowded the small window and a too-large vanity blocked the door. Simon raised the ceiling height, specified new floor tile and redesigned the woodwork. “I very deliberately mimicked the trim from the rest of the house in this room,” she said, “so that you can imagine this being original to the house.” Now, a petite antique table topped with a vessel sink flatters the small footprint. Walls lacquered with antiqued champagne gold leaf and a streamlined Art Déco-style light fixture brings in the Huigens’ style. Months after the last picture was hung, the couple is discovering how well their new-old home suits their life, whether it’s catching up at the end of the day over the new kitchen island or stealing into the cozy den with a glass of wine. “I really respected and appreciated the house itself and I wanted to do it right,” Huigens said. “We looked at zero catalogs and zero retail stores. Everything is one-of-a-kind. That’s exactly what we wanted.” 48 <strong>1859</strong> OREGON’S MAGAZINE JANUARY | FEBRUARY <strong>2018</strong>
