And then spring came…and I woke up in the ‘White Orchard Room’. My 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House bedroom. #kipsbayshowhouse

My first interior design project after my Sotheby’s training—a double wide townhouse on Sutton Square. I purchased English, Italian, Chinese and French art and antiques from auctions and dealers around the globe. The client was a pure classicist and a had a strong distaste for anything ‘modern’.
The project still has a timeless, edited English country house feel about it; but what I am most proud of is being able to bring the formality of the room down by mixing in glass and gilt French tables from the 1940’s with Line Vautrin boxes and ashtrays, slipcovering the furniture in a crisp grey and white ticking and adding simple sea grass rugs to the reclaimed parquet de versailles floors.

This Directoire day bed I used in a London Georgian townhouse top floor bedroom with an antique Persian textile brings back memories of the joy of discovering beautiful antiques on the left bank of Paris.
I love how this observatory at the top of the house feels like both Christmas and Spring at the same time.

I always think back fondly of this double wide townhouse I decorated on Square Square at Christmas. William F. Reilly, a devoted classicist, used to host the best holiday party in town, catered by Glorious Foods with the townhouse fully decked out in fresh greens for the holidays.
