A Warm Welcome

A generous Entry Hall is given a second purpose: a place to relax and take stock.

  • A central seating group anchors the hall and replaces the traditional center table.
  • Upon entry, an intimate space for two is revealed. Perfect for a tête à tête or a glass of wine by the fire.

A Cozy Library

This gentleman’s retreat from the hustle and bustle of the day carefully walks the line between traditional and transitional.

  • Custom wood paneling creates warmth and intimacy.
  • Rich neutrals ground the space while green and royal blue accents add interest in unexpected places.
  • Small details like a brass end table or a bold and masculine pendant fixture introduce the eye to playful design moments.
  • For those in the know…a humidor is tucked into the bookcase on the far right.

Room For Dinner

Immediately adjacent to the Entry Hall, guests are ushered into this cozy dining area to share a meal.

  • Neutral fabrics and soft patterns in shades of blue and cream allow company and conversation to be the focus.
  • An alcove is brought to life with a custom settee while the mirror positioned directly above opens up the space with the reflection of candlelight.
  • Paintings above each door provide punctuation.

A Larger Than Life Living Room

A place for family and friends to gather, this Living Room invites the eye with warm neutrals.

  • A dazzling, French, late 18th Century Louis XIV Armoire from The Golden Triangle holds court as the room’s centerpiece.
  • Large mirrors on wither side of the armoire echo the rhythm of the French doors. 
  • A custom desk serves double-duty as a console and a visual barrier between the seating group and breakfast room. 

A Perfectly Pretty Powder Room

Powder Rooms are forever our favorite and this is no exception. It’s a special space that’s a marriage of playful and practical.

  • A sophisticated palate of cobalt, black, and gold is enhanced by hand-painted wallpaper.
  • Pendant lighting: handmade in London.
  • Framed Intaglio pendants add interest and historicism.
