Cape Cod Family Home, Cherry Hills Village, Colorado

A family home transformed through trust, connoisseurship, and a collection assembled through EB Gallery.

The Neighborhood

Set along one of Cherry Hills Village's most established tree-lined streets, the house occupies a neighborhood Susan Weiss knew intimately, having lived, worked, and raised her own family there for more than two decades.

Beyond the Familiar

When the clients first came to Emerson Bailey, their sense of luxury was shaped by familiar, polished references, the kind of interiors most people are taught to want. As trust in the process grew, so did their curiosity. They began to consider forms, materials, and objects they might never have chosen on their own. This wasn't a matter of taste needing correction. It was an expansion of what the clients understood a home could hold, and what luxury could mean. What began as an introduction to antiques became a genuine appreciation for the depth, individuality, and permanence these pieces brought to their home. By the project's completion, more than half of its furnishings and objects were sourced through EB Gallery.

A House Built Through Collection

The Cape Cod Family Home reflects a relationship unique to Emerson Bailey: the ongoing dialogue between the design studio and EB Gallery. Because the studio could draw on a continually evolving collection of European antiques, early furniture, art, and found objects, the home took shape in ways no conventional furnishing plan could have anticipated: a Chinese cabinet paired with early horseshoe chairs, a painted European demilune table, a primitive trestle table with its own history, architectural panels, woven textiles, and sculptural ceramics, each chosen not as a decorative accent but as a piece of the house's identity. The finished home was not what the clients initially imagined. It became something they loved because it introduced them to a world they had not known to ask for.
