An Urban Oasis
A DALLAS COUPLE WITH A HOME TUCKED IN THE TREES TURNS TO CANTONI FOR A KITCHEN AND HOME REFRESH.
Frank and Kathy Zerangue found the ideal spot for their dream home in a secluded Dallas neighborhood tucked in the trees, with views of a quaint trail leading to White Rock Lake. When they built it in 2013, it was exactly what they wanted — modern, with beautiful architecture and an unusual design. Tall, grid-like ceilings, views of the surrounding greenery—they were elated.
When they moved in, they brought the furniture they’d collected over the years with them — but never felt the combination worked well with their new space. In 2015, they decided it was time for a refresh. “We’d known about Cantoni for years, and they are highly regarded,” Frank says. “We immediately hit it off with the design team.”
A fun-loving couple, they hoped for a dynamic, playful space with furnishings that played on the organic vibe and bright light. They also wanted a cohesive design with pops of color, clean lines, and understated simplicity. But most importantly, they wanted their home to feel complete. “We like the sparse look — we don’t like a lot of stuff -- but we both love the colorful aspect of things,” Frank says. “In the evening, we have spectacular colors in the living and dining room. The evenings are our favorite time of day—that’s when it feels special to us. We wanted to play off that.”
