It had what my husband and I love โ the whitewashed brick, and dark hunter-green shutters and front door. They wanted to purchase it, and the rest is history. One of their favorite elements is the size of the windows. Two years ago, the couple updated their kitchen. Upon entering the home, one immediately takes in a special table in the foyer. The couple often uses the library for entertaining.
I light the fire, drink my coffee, watch the birds flying around outside. I tell clients that darker colors like the one on the walls provide a different energy. Like the library, the living room comes in handy for entertaining. Its large rug is crafted of hand-knotted wool with soft tan and light blue tones โ an heirloom gifted from family. When hosting a party, the couple often will hire a jazz pianist to set up in the space.
Indeed, this is a home in which one is constantly amazed by the clever mix of art, furnishings, and materials. An ebonized, burled-wood mirror from Judy Frankel Antiques rounds out the sweet space. More unique mixes come in the way of the home office, which was formerly a bedroom. A pair of contemporary Jonathan Adler lamps illuminates four original paintings of faceless men, and the white Herman Miller soft-pad chairs are a nod to Mid-century Modern style.
The walls and drapes are neutral, while antelope-print carpet and a dark green ceiling are head-turners. The wallpaper, made of real wood, highlights the art well, and a burled-wood dining table takes center stage. The guest room is perhaps the wild card.
