In the living room, a custom BP Interiors sofa is covered with men’s suiting fabric in gray cashmere wool. “This sofa will last forever,” Paquette says. An original 1960s Lucite waterfall table sits in harmonious contrast with antique rugs and an early-20th-century brass shelving unit by the fireplace. OPPOSITE: Paquette sits in an antique French leather chair from Susan Wheeler.
