Heated floors give way to a claw-foot bathtub with Kingston Brass hardware and 24-carat gold plated claw feet. Wall sconces flanking the bed and chairs in the room’s sitting area tie in with the gold of the chandelier and a gilded mirror over the limestone fireplace.Īntique chests from New York dating back to the 1800s serve as vanities in the bathroom. The chandelier theme continues in the master bedroom. The fireplace design came directly from one of Jason’s drawings. The room’s positioning at the back of the house gives it enough privacy to eliminate the need for drapes over the windows. “I tried to make it a little bit modern with traditional elements like brass,” Jason says.ĭoused in soft neutrals, the den features 18-foot ceilings and tall windows. Sleek brass barstools with white cushions provide extra seating. Calacatta Borghini marble from Italy also pairs well with the gold faucet and light fixtures suspended above the rectangular island. Gold finishes stand out against the off-white cabinet doors and black island and vent hood in the kitchen. Recessed lighting illuminates the mural in a subtle way.

The room to the right of the foyer has the elements one would expect of a resplendent formal dining room: wainscoting, crown molding, a long table, a china cabinet and a crystal chandelier hanging from a ceiling medallion. To the left of the foyer is the study, an intimate room with dark walls, tall windows, built-in bookcases, a leather ceiling and a crystal chandelier.

From many limestone accents to towering chimneys, he designed the house with influences from European castles that he studied while in living in London during a study-abroad program at Samford University. This renovation was a total design transformation. He started what is arguably his greatest house renovation to date when he purchased an 11,300-square-foot home in Greystone in 2014. It’s relaxing for me.”įor the last five years or so, Jason has taken his plans from paper to production, renovating and flipping houses. “Ever since I could pick a pencil up, I’ve drawn houses. Dreaming up house plans and drawing them on paper is what Jason Thomas does for fun.
