Left: Even though the owner only uses the cabin’s first floor, she hung Anastasia Kimmett’s Through the Lodgepoles in the stairway. Right: The rug is a David E. Adler Tivoli design, and the two twin small pillows are from ABC Carpet & Home. Opposite: Élitis’ Opulence wallpaper covers the wall behind the master bed, which is Dmitriy & Co’s Brampton bed. The Patterson bedside lamp is from Currey & Company.
Case in point: The three women agree that the owner knows immediately “yes” or “no” about something, whether it’s a carpet or a piece of art. “I don’t change my mind in three days,” the owner says. “Things that aren’t ‘yes’ or ‘no’ are, ‘I love it, but I don’t need to own it.’ Jen’s shown me plenty of things that fall into that category.” Wallpaper was one of the few things that fell in her design gray area. “I never did wallpaper before Jen,” the owner says. Visosky thought the biggest wall in the bedroom would be a fabulous spot for wallpaper, though; she would just have to find the right kind. Knowing that her friend loves texture, Visosky sought out textured wallpaper. She found one she thought her friend would go for, “But I wasn’t totally sure,” Visosky says. “I knew that if she did, though, it would look insanely good.” That bedroom wall, and the gently ribbed, floral-patterned wallpaper covering it, is now one of the biggest statements in the house. “I immediately thought it was beautiful when Jen showed it to me,” the owner says, “but I wasn’t sure how I would do living with it. It turns out I love it. It begs to be touched and is so pretty. I don’t know that a designer who didn’t know me could have made that move.” RANGE ISSUE FIVE 54
