WILLOUGHBY

Like a jewel box tucked into the corner of the great room, this high-gloss golden yellow armoire is no ordinary cabinet: it’s a shapeshifter. By day, it’s a glowing sculpture, arched glass doors catching sunlight like stained glass in a cathedral. By night, the doors pocket away, perfectly positioned for entertaining with grace and ease. Inside, a lighter hue dances playfully with pops of stained walnut, a wink to the bar across the room. Form meets function and flirts with fun.

Commanding the space like an old-world gentleman in a velvet smoking jacket, the walnut bar is the undeniable heart of the great room. Over 12 feet long and rich with dark, moody grain, this custom piece feels like it’s always been here. Three arched shelves crowned with brass-strapped detail and glowing library lights frame a dramatic display of wines and spirits, while metal mesh cabinets below whisper of secret bottles and good stories. Built for collectors, designed for entertainers, this is where the evening begins.

Across the room, a second golden yellow creation echoes the armoire’s playful energy, but this time it’s all about cozy. Framing a large TV and wrapped in the same high-gloss sunshine hue, this built-in transforms movie night into a golden-hour ritual. Open shelves rotate with seasonal decor, like a curated gallery of celebrations, while the closed cabinetry keeps all the electronic clutter tucked quietly out of sight. It’s a love letter to intentional living, where beauty and practicality hold hands.
