House Tour: A Warm Scandi-Inspired Home + Shop the Look

We don’t do a lot of home tours here on EHD (that aren’t our very own projects, of course), but this one is special. Years ago, I had a design assistant, Samantha Gluck, who worked on two projects with me: Joy’s studio and Joanna Goddard’s apartment. She was a long-time reader who entered an Instagram styling contest of mine and won (5 years ago!) and when I saw her winning photo (and stalked her feed) I said, “Hey…do you want to work with me?” I LOVED her style and she did such a great job in every way (I liked her personally a lot, too). If she didn’t live in Orange County with two small kids and have a thriving career already, I would absolutely beg that she work with me again. She recently finished designing her own home and I thought it would be fun to feature because I love it and feel some sort of pride looking at these photos (I had nothing to do with it, it just makes me so happy when former employees do such beautiful work). So…welcome to Samantha’s beautiful home.

The house, built in the 1970s, was a bit of an overhaul for Samantha and her family. “We knew that with two small kids, we really didn’t want to be living in the house while the renovation was happening, but we also couldn’t afford to float two mortgages for very long, so we needed to move pretty quickly,” she says. “I worked on the design while we were in escrow so that basically as soon as we closed, we could get started on the remodel, which took four months. I knew I wanted to take my time with the decorating, though. Usually, when working on a client’s project, there’s pressure to get things wrapped up, because of course! No client wants to live mid-project for very long, understandably. But for my own house, I wanted to let it evolve a bit more and force myself to resist the urge to just get it done.”

I love love love how approachable and inviting her whole house is. It’s curated but not pretentious and has a lovely mix of pieces that are DIY, vintage, from big box stores and custom. It feels warm yet minimal and clean. “The house overlooks parkland and as such, I really wanted to go with a mostly neutral, natural California aesthetic; a bit earthy without veering boho,” says Samantha. I’d say she nailed it, don’t you think?

Okay, now that we have a bit of the backstory, let’s dive in room by room.

LIVING ROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Living Room Scandinavian Inspired

While the living room is such a breath of fresh air, that huge embroidery wall hanging is definitely an eye-catcher and SHE MADE THAT HERSELF. WHAT? I need to know the DIY on that one/become an embroidery pro ASAP because I’m crushing on that hardcore. This piece was her first attempt at something this large scale (she’s only done small pieces prior) and man is it beautiful. “When we partially opened up the wall between the kitchen and living room, we were left with the tall wall space above the sofa that I knew I’d need a cool, unique piece to fill,” says Samantha. “I’ve done embroidery for years, but on a much smaller scale. I’m not sure how I got the idea, but one day it dawned on me that rather than shopping for a piece for that wall, it would be cool to have something I made myself and that doing a really blown-up embroidery would be a fun experiment. I plan on experimenting with more pieces like this!” How cool is that? I also just love how her kitchen is so open to her family room because as a mom with two kids, too, I know how crucial that is.

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Living Room Modern Wood Coffee Table

Samantha’s home is a great testament that staying in a “safe” neutral color palette doesn’t equal boring. She kept it bright and light, but with pops of blues, greens and blushes with a lot of wood to warm it up and black to keep it feeling modern. The house is a split level and most of the rooms open up to each other in some way, so she wanted to use the same wall color for soft visual transitions. “As a designer,” Samantha adds, “I like to have the flexibility to change things up with my accessories and I find that having a white backdrop makes it easier to do that.” I totally get that.

KITCHEN

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Kitchen Marble Backsplash

Her kitchen is on the smaller side but she did such a great job of keeping it open and super functional. I LOVE the cabinetry on the left that sits on the counter (something we are doing in the Portland project). She used Semihandmade cabinet doors on IKEA cabinets to save money and boy do I love that micro-knob. It’s a thing and we’ll be talking about it a lot soon.

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Kitchen Floating Open Shelves

It’s a great mix of modern elements, but done in such a warm way (the marble and the wood keep it from being too neutral). Here’s a fun fact on the matte oak wood accents used throughout: Samantha and her family planted a big beautiful oak tree in their front yard and wanted to bring that material into their home (flooring, shelving, etc.). This makes my tree-loving heart SO happy.

DINING ROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Bright Minimal Dining Space

Into her bright happy dining room. I love how she mixed chairs. I don’t know why I stopped doing that, it’s so charming and takes all the formality out of the “dining room” but can be hard to pull off. She did it well. That flooring is so pretty (wide plank, matte and light—it looks to be white oak) and the custom window treatments elevate the whole space (FYI, note how she used one long, straight Roman shade in front of the bay window instead of three individual ones on each window frame…smart—see this post for more tricky window solutions). As for the art: “The big space photo is just an inexpensive print, but having it printed in such a large scale and having it professionally framed makes it feel like a much more important piece.”

MASTER BEDROOM & BATHROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Living Room Modern White Brick Fireplace

Her simple and happy master bedroom’s color palette was taken from the vintage nude on her dresser (that she bought three years ago). It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who hoards vintage art knowing that someday I will find its perfect home. Here, it brings in just the right amount of color and depth into the space. “I love her so much,” Samantha says about the piece. “She dictated a few ‘brighter’ pops of color for my room which I’m happy to wake up to.”

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Bathroom Modern Marble Counter

“For the master bathroom, the challenge was that the vanity area is basically open to the bedroom,” notes Samantha. “At least half of the vanity is visible from anywhere in the bedroom and I wanted a seamless transition. Our dark wood vintage dresser is basically on the same elevation as the bathroom vanity wall so we kept the cabinetry white to blend with the walls.”

We are working on a story about how to make wall-to-wall mirrors look custom and less “builder-grade” and I’ll be referencing the above photo. Just having that frame around it and, of course, the sconces on it take it to the next level. I’ve wanted to use that wood hardware for a long time but wasn’t sure how it actually played on cabinets, so it’s really fun to see it here. Her house is mid-century so this hardware speaks to that in a less predictable way.

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Bathroom Marble Detail

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Bathroom Black Pepple Floor Marble Floor Tile

YAY for that shower. I love the vertical stack, honed marble and the black stone, hell, it’s very “modern mountain” to me. I’m curious what her shower tracks are because they are super minimal (and I’ve been researching a ton…more on that later). But we did get her pebble report and she said they are a little hard to clean but loves the look and says they are comfortable under their feet. I’m SOLD.

You can’t see it that well in the photo, but the window is SO SMART. “The shower’s half opaque window is my favorite element here. It used to be ’80s block glass, but there’s a great view from that window, so we just ordered a normal window and had the film applied afterward to part of it, and it looks great in person. So now we have the privacy obviously needed in the shower but can still see out the top of the window.”

PLAYROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Bright Modern Playroom

How pretty and sophisticated is this playroom?? While any parent knows—and Samantha confirmed with us—this pristine space is normally covered in toys and little kid messes. My house is the same way. I don’t think there’s any way around it. But right now in these pictures, it’s pretty darn perfect. The muted colors, light wood tones and minimalist design make me feel happy and ready to play with that dollhouse. “It’s just a happy room that’ll transition well from playroom to something else as our kids get older,” she says. “It feels fresh to me without feeling too ‘kid.'”

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Floating Wood Mantle

This is what Samantha had to say about one of her favorite pieces in her house: “The Karina Bania painting over the mantel in the playroom makes me happy every day.  It ties together both the pinks that my daughters wanted and blues that I wanted in the room and the pops of black feel sophisticated.”

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Giant Chalk Wall Playroom

I love a chalkboard wall in a kids room. Remember the Studio City playroom I did about five years ago? It’s so fun. But what is great about this one is that it’s not only a constant cute art project for her kiddos but camouflages the TV. GENIUS. We did a post on that topic if you need more ideas.

Now onto the very cute, adjacent powder room…

POWDER ROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Traditional Modern Bathroom

I’m still so happy whenever I see a good seascape and the vertical shiplap gives the walls a quiet pretty texture that I’m very into. Samantha told me that since this bathroom is a totally separate room, she took advantage, veered away from the white and painted the shiplap a soft blue. “We used the same blue to paint the floating toy storage cabinet in the playroom—the powder room is in the playroom—so the spaces relate.”

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Traditional Vintage Bathroom

Samantha and I are one in the same with our love of turning dressers into vanities. I used one in my old guest bath and tried to use one in my current powder bath. It ended up not working, sadly. However, when it does work, it’s a great way to get the unique vanity of your dreams without having to start from scratch. Here’s what she said about the customized casegood: “I wasn’t finding any vanities that I really loved, but I fell in love with this mid-century buffet that had the perfect dimensions for the room. And that cabinet and three drawers make for perfect bathroom storage.” It was clearly a find because look at ALL THAT STORAGE. Like I said before, this powder room is right off the playroom and Samantha wanted the room to feel happy and kid-friendly without being a “kids room.” Unfortunately, kids don’t stay little forever (even though I think I’ve convinced mine to. HA), so keeping it playful but sophisticated will give the design longevity and save money in the future.

Lastly, we have the kids’ bathroom…

KIDS’ BATHROOM

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Pink Bathroom

I love that Samantha took a “risk” with the wall paint in this bathroom, and urge anyone to consider the same thing. It’s a smaller room so it can feel less intense to chose a fun color, wallpaper or tile. What I mean is that the wall color is unexpected and fresh but isn’t so bold that you’re in visual overload. This sweet blush is the perfect blend of fun and neutral.

When designing, Samantha wanted to make the kids’ bathroom more youthful and per her 4-year-old’s request, they decided on this soft blush. Now, I’m sure that her girls will forever want to keep this bathroom blush but she chose paint over something more permanent to give flexibility for changing it in the future. Smart lady. For parents designing for young kids, take note. It’s a really good idea to chose materials that can change without costing a fortune. Don’t worry, Birdy knows she isn’t allowed to have anything but pink forest wallpaper forever and ever :).

Samantha Gluck Emily Henderson Soft Pink Bathroom

Once she picked the wall color, Samantha chose cabinetry, lighting and a mirror that felt modern. She then used textiles and art that were soft and delicate. This creates a balanced and sweet bathroom that her young girls love and a style that still works with the rest of the house.

The kitchen and the guest bath (that vanity!) are amazing. And, if anyone’s looking for the dollhouse they actually have in the playroom, it’s from Ikea. (I have one and use it as a shelf.)

Thanks for the tour! (Also, I can definitely see similarities in taste! This reminds me a lot of your old house! Actually, I think she might be the middle portion of a Venn Diagram with EHD on one side and YHL on the other!)

This home is so lovely! We’re about to make a big move and are mostly starting fresh with all we own. Such inspiration here! All her finishings are perfection. I love how she has vintage pieces but the house doesn’t seem overly mid-century. Really I just wish I could clone this home for myself. Question though – is her couch only available to the trade?

I second the question about the couch, if you guys know. I am moving soon and this is the only sectional I have seen so far that looks perfectly cozy but still has a little structure to it. And… every design choice in this house is beautiful. Not typically my style but just gorgeous. She found the perfect balance of not too trendy but also not boring/too traditional.

I love everything about this. Question about the window in the shower: What did she use for the frame? We have a 100-year-old Victorian that was updated with shower put in where we suspect only a bath used to be, and the trim is peeling and rotting, of course. We were planning to close it off and put a skylight above instead, but if we can keep a window without having the frame rot, that would be great.

Meaghan

Reply to  Lisa

In case you don’t get an answer…..We recently changed out a window in our house for the same reason. I was told wood framed windows in a shower are bound to rot. (And, when I was a kid our bathroom had a wood window frame and did indeed also rot…..my parents recently replaced that window with vinyl even though the rest of the windows in the hours are wood.) We used vinyl, but I saw that Emily said in her kid’s bath in the mountain house they’re using one with a fiberglass frame.

It’s just too white for me. I live in SoCal, too, and I hate feeling like I’d have to wear my sunglasses indoors. I am light-sensitive, so it’s probably just me. I’m kinda over the all white everywhere with just small “pops” of color. It’s seems contrived, and the “pops” look more like spots floating in that sea of white. It doesn’t have the visual flow of color I prefer. But I’m not a millennial, so this is not meant for me. I DO love the blush in the kid’s bathroom. And that pink and white bathmat is really pretty.

One thing about the pebble tiles in the shower floor (other than the cleaning issues), try them out on your bare feet first. Samantha finds them comfortable, but I find them painful. I stayed with a friend who had them in her guest bath, and I took the quickest showers I could while I was there, because my feet HURT standing on the pebbles for even a very few minutes.

P.S. The seascape is very nice. I’m very lucky to have a gorgeous watercolor seascape painted in La Jolla in the early ’50’s by one of my uncles. I really treasure it. Since he was a semi-professional artist, it’s really well done.

Gorgeous! This is such a great home and post with so many amazing ideas. Sourcing question(s) (I re-read post and comments and didn’t see so apologies if I missed but….): Any sourcing ideas for 1) The Amazing master bath vanity – both how Samantha did this (custom? Combo IKEA?) and 2) Those gorgeous wooden handles on said bath vanity and 3) The white penny tile in powder room? I know it should be simple to find but on the lookout for where to source for our new renovation project. I will surely be drawing inspiration from everywhere in the home. Thank you!

Not a huge fan of the peach bathroom though, as I’m about halfway done with de-peaching the 80’s from this house… the kitchen and living room are truly wonderful, and I adore the reading nook, of which I have a verrrry similar one lol!

What a wonderful post! Full of eye candy, but in true Emily Henderson Team fashion, also full of helpful tips and places to source materials. While I love a good house tour (and there are so many on the interwebs!), I often end up feeling frustrated because I don’t know where to find that one beautiful piece I fell in love with while staring at a particular room. The ‘Get the Look’ part of this post is AMAZING and unique, and I’m so grateful that your team took the time to make this more than just a basic (although obviously stunning) ‘house tour.’ Thank you!
