This homeowner 'loves what she loves,' filling her home with ornamental furniture, crystal chandeliers, family heirlooms, artifacts and art.
At a time when it’s fashionable for the interiors of high-end new-builds and redos to feature vast expanses of minimalist, museum-style white walls, Carol Adamson prefers maximalism. So she filled the recently renovated Shavano Park home she shares with husband Jim Speights opulently — some might say outrageously — with dramatically ornamental furniture, crystal chandeliers, family heirlooms, artifacts and art, an ornate, 1929 burl walnut Hamburg Steinway and more.
How Texas buildings were influenced by others around the world “I like wood, and I like that walnut wood,” Speights explained. “And it’s rounds so it’s just, I guess, different for most kitchen islands.” Another feature that stayed is the partial limestone wall that separates the dining table from the TV area. “When Jim and Ima built the 4 bedrooms, 3-1/2 bathroom house in 2010, I was involved with the project and that wall was original,” Edgerton said.
