Lakewood Gothic Grandeur
DALLAS, TX | LAKEWOOD
RENOVATION & FURNISHINGS
CODY ULRICH PHOTOGRAPHER
Built in 1928 by noted Dallas architect Clifford D. Hutsell, this Spanish Colonial home in Lakewood has always had a sense of drama with original stained-glass windows, hand-troweled plaster walls, and a barrel-vaulted living room that feels part chapel, part concert hall. When homeowners, he a creative agency founder with a musician’s soul, she with an eye for storied objects and style, came to Pulp, they wanted a renovation and furnishing plan that honored Hutsell’s original architecture while giving it a decidedly rock-and-roll edge. We leaned into contrast: sun-washed living spaces where antique mirrors, Old World portraiture, and a grand piano play off the home’s original stained glass, balanced by a moody, goth-inspired home office and powder bath saturated in inky black paint, gilded sconces, and hand-painted ceiling murals. The result is a historic Dallas home that feels collected, characterful, and completely of the moment. This home is proof that respecting a home’s bones and embracing bold personality aren’t mutually exclusive.

A jewel-toned velvet banquette and brass pendant lighting bring unexpected glamour to the kitchen, proving even the most functional room in a historic home deserves a moment of drama.

Warm walnut cabinetry and a sculptural surfboard-inspired mirror bring quiet luxury to this primary bath, grounded by a softly patterned marble floor.

Original ironwork and a gilded antique mirror set the tone from the moment you walk in, a quiet nod to the home’s 1928 roots before the drama unfolds upstairs.
