WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NEW TILDA’S BOW COLLECTION? I remember the beauty of my mother’s long, perfectly smooth hair and how sometimes she would add a velvet bow. For me, the bow was so elegant - it was tied tightly yet still retained its lightness, organic shape and volume so that it danced in her hair all day long. With the new collection, we wanted to capture the moment when a bow has just been freshly tied by hand - its movement, harmonious proportions and beautiful fluidity. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE PIECES? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR SIGNATURE COLLECTIONS? The jewels in the Tilda’s Bow collection are designed to complement, not perfectly

OPEN HOUSE

LU X U RY LI V I N G IN RIVERSIDE WHEN THE OWNERS OF THIS RIVERSIDE HOME CONTACTED BETH KRUPA INTERIORS (BKI) IN DOWNTOWN GREENWICH, THE GAME PLAN CALLED ONLY FOR THE MAIN BEDROOM AND DINING ROOM REDECORATION. The kitchen nor mudroom hadn’t factored into the plan, but both got a fabulous makeover once they were thrilled with the other spaces. This young family used the kitchen as “command central,” Beth explains, so it needed to be comfortable, family-oriented, and durable to withstand small children.

Quartz and leathered absolute were just the materials along with the specialty finish applied to the hickory-stained countertop allowing even a hot pan to be set down without a scorch mark. The same hickory was used to build a new range hood, appliance panels and a few drawers and doors.

02

The BKI team completely designed and renovated the kitchen. The real drama of the space is the book-matched quartz backsplash and 3” raised island counter-top.

This space was previously just a hallway with two closets. Beth’s team designed the seating to have ample storage beneath the lifted bench for basketballs, soccer balls, etc. The hinges themselves were soft closing so as not to squish little hands and allow autonomy. Taking this same thought process, they designed the hook hanging space with two levels for easy self-hanging for the kids.

Sweet dreams are made of this...Beth designed the bedroom to have a lodge retreat feel, creating the perfect respite space after a long day. The custom headboard with lion, an important family symbol, she salvaged from an antique building façade.
