Bring the outside—and outside colors—in. That was the mission of interior designer Edy Keeler, of CoreValue Inc., for this not-yet-sold spec house in the Tessera subdivision (built by Hurlocker Homes and drawn up by architect Robert Zachry). “In the county,” explains Keeler, where there are fewer rules and regulations, “the whole thing is, you can build whatever you want. You’re not bound by stylistic slavery.” Keeler, then, took her cues—and hues—from the immediate outdoor environment, and incorporated what she saw. She started by looking at the natural palette, which is not brown at all but colorful, took that to renderer Lloyd Neal Brown, kept things minimal, and balanced the vividness of the outdoor world with softer neutrals inside. “The whole thing is about looking outward,” says Keeler. “It’s melting the boundary between indoor and outdoor.”
