The butter painting by Mike Piggott was a wedding gift from Greg to Eileen. Next to it is Atticus Finch by Shannon Troxler. “Birds and bugs are everywhere in this home,” Eileen says. “[Atticus Finch] is definitely a favorite and was a gift [from me] to Greg. We like art that is thoughtful and playful.” Right: The wallpaper in the game room is by Icelandic-born artist Kristjana S. Williams, who Eileen’s sisterin-law, interior designer Jen Visosky, introduced her to the work of. “She sent me a link to her site and I fell in love with this piece,” Eileen says. Eileen thought the birds in “various states of whimsy were lively and fun” but it was the pomegranates hanging from the tree that caused her and Greg to fall in love with the design. The family had recently lived in Granada, Spain, for a year. “Granada translates to pomegranate,” Eileen says. The blue velvet chairs are from Room and Board.
