LIVING ROOM, PATRICIA MCLEAN, PATRICIA MCLEAN INTERIORS, INC. Designer Patricia McLean took cues from the living room’s views of the deep wooded lot to create a cozy, classic space with her deft blend of French, Italian and English antiques. “It’s a woodsy wonderful life,” she says. Nature’s palette is unveiled in the green and blue tones in the fabrics, contemporary scenic painting by Doug Foltz and the lamps and accessories with Dutch, English and Continental influences. She started with blue linen draperies with Cowtan & Tout embroidered trim, and once she saw the 18th-century Belgium tapestry, her woodland-inspired design fell into place. McLean, a traditionalist, used the Aubusson tapestry as statement-making art on the great big wall opposite the French doors. The foliage, flora and fauna are woven in greens, golds, blues, creams and teals. “It was all about the natural elements surrounding the house,” says McLean. “All of the colors melded together so nicely for the setting.” The limestone top of the Kathy Slater cocktail table pairs nicely with the fireplace’s Francois & Co. limestone surround and rounded plaster ceiling. The natural fibers of the abaca rug contrast with the mohair upholstery and rich wool in the tapestry for a masterful balance of heavy and light. —Lori Johnston
