LETTER EDITOR’S
Nuts & Bolts I recently purchased a bronze acorn charm necklace cast through the lost-wax technique. The fact that it is handcrafted by a delightful Florentine artist and designer, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at her studio was part of my attraction, but another reason that I was drawn to the piece was the acorn’s symbolic meaning: great and wondrous things can emerge from small and humble beginnings. That’s often the case in design and in other creative pursuits. You start with a seed, a kernel of an idea, that requires nurturing and attention to grow into something extraordinary. Many of you are embarking on a new design project, tinkering with an idea or building something from the get-go. I hope you embrace the fits-and-starts of the kickoff and savor the long journey into full potential.

From sumptuous libraries and new entertaining essentials to cherished collections, Luxe explores the new meaning of home base and personal pursuits.
AS LIBRARIES CLIMB TO THE TOP OF CLIENTS’ WISH LISTS, DESIGNERS RESPOND WITH ARRESTING ROOMS FOR MORE THAN JUST READING. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L
Designers have long delighted in creating home libraries. In fact, legendary decorator Dorothy Draper even encouraged the idea among her bibliophile clientele. “Don’t hesitate to start a library, a collection of books on any subject that interests you is a joy to have!” remarked Draper. But today’s libraries serve as more than just a refuge for reading—they are spaces to gather with family and entertain guests. Ranging from studious to swank, libraries can project a

refined spirit or a joyful energy. Whether you prefer books, magazines or reading on your favorite device, a library provides “a different environment within the home,” explains designer Michael Aiduss. “It’s about shutting the rest of the world off, collecting your thoughts and feeling a sense of relaxation.” But designer Joe Lucas warns playfully: be ready to shop as it always takes more books to fill a library than one anticipates!
“ We turned this Charlotte, North Carolina, living room into a snug library, but it’s really like a family room. Wood builtins and gold-flecked red wallpaper feel unexpected, while a hidden bar makes it a great place to have drinks with guests or simply enjoy the cozy atmosphere.” –BARRIE BENSON, BARRIE BENSON INTERIOR DESIGN

“ Adding a little whimsy, like the velvet tête-à-tête in the middle of this Los Altos, California, library, makes the space feel fun, plus there’s a games table for the kids and a pair of wing chairs for the adults. It shifts the center of focus away from the kitchen to create a place where this family of readers can relax together.” –ANN LOWENGART, ANN LOWENGART INTERIORS
LUXESOURCE.COM
“ Give your library a more modern vibe with a pretty paint color—try picking a shade from a book spine and add pull-out shelves to create an extra work surface. To enliven the stone fireplace in an Agoura Hills, California, library, we used a scratch-resistant semi-gloss paint.” – JOE LUCAS, LUCAS STUDIO, INC.

“It’s all about creating an enveloping ambiance with comfortable places to sit, beautiful lighting and good acoustics to quiet any noise. Books help to create an alluring atmosphere, but don’t forget to think about a ‘wow’ factor and scale, too—like the large antique globe we used in this Greenwich, Connecticut, library—as well as displaying collections that resonate with you.”

FOUR NEW TITLES TO UP THE INTRIGUE—AND BEAUTY— OF YOUR HOME LIBRARY
YSL Lexicon: An ABC of the Fashion, Life, and Inspirations of Yves Saint Laurent Edited by Martina Mondadori and Stephan Janson Its publication timed to commemorate Yves Saint Laurent’s first runway show 60 years ago, the new tome, edited by Cabana founder Martina Mondadori and designer Stephan Janson, a co-curator of the current pan-Paris exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées, explores the many facets of YSL’s life through a playful exploration of words. “Our book,” write Mondadori and Janson, “seeks to offer a series of evocations in the form of an alphabet, using the words he liked, those which had a particular meaning for him.” Taking on the people, places and concepts that inspired the designer are a host of high-profile contributors including Hamish Bowles on Haute Couture and Marian McEvoy on Jardin Majorelle. Illustrating the book are images from YSL’s archive, set against lavish textiles in truly iconic style. rizzoliusa.com
By Andrea Monath Schumacher “I poured through my portfolio and chose exclusive projects— it felt like the right time to show them,” says the designer of her debut book. Colorful inspiration abounds, along with Monath Schumacher’s helpful design tips: faux bois cut velvet elevates a beachy vibe, while a red front door encourages good luck and positive energy. “I want readers to be inspired to live large at home, and this book shows them where, and how, to take risks.” gibbs-smith.com
Lotusland Forward by Marc Appleton Only an opera singer could envision a garden as theatrical as the famed Lotusland in Montecito, California, and Ganna Walska’s botanical masterpiece—featuring more than 3,400 plants— has been captivating visitors for 30 years. “Hers was obsessive botanical collecting,” writes architect Marc Appleton. Featuring photographs by Lisa Romerein, Lotusland is a verdant treat for anyone enchanted by gardens. rizzoliusa.com
Portugal: The Cookbook By Leandro Carreira In chef Leandro Carreira’s new cookbook, the Londonbased chef pays homage to the culinary history of his native Portugal. Featuring some 550 recipes, Carreira shares dishes from across his homeland, including Alentejostyle gazpacho, Algarvian seafood dishes and macaroons from a 13th-century convent. Recipes also include insights into traditional cookware, like the cataplana, a metal pot that originated in North Africa and is frequently used in Portuguese cooking. phaidon.com

SCHUMACHER DEBUTS OUT-OF-THE-BOX DINING ROOM CLASSICS IDEAL FOR MODERN LIVING. W R I T T E N B Y M A R I O LÓ P E Z- C O R D E R O
Call it a revival of the highest order: When Schumacher created its Editions furniture line, the firm set out to bring back the iconoclastic approach of a bygone time. “We wanted to craft furniture with up-and-coming designers from around the globe to recreate the period around the mid-20th-century— a time when people like Charles and Ray Eames were breaking the mold with original pieces that weren’t just derivatives of old forms,” says creative director Dara Caponigro. “We were looking to curate fresh, authentic furniture that spoke to a dining experience where people want to linger.” Danish designer Charlotte Høncke took a hygge-centric approach, warming up a steel-framed chair with a cozy fabric back to create a cocoonlike atmosphere. “You feel like you’re snuggled into a nest,” says Caponigro. Høncke also devised a table marrying Scandi practicality with inspired details like a soft, curved edge apron. Salla Luhtasela and Wesley Walters, principals of the Helsinki-based firm Kaksikko, used wood to fashion pieces that combine urbanity with country house ease—a yin-yang match adaptable to many homes. Take their Mokki chair, available in a range of painted finishes, its upholstered seat and rail allow for endless customization. The duo’s reinterpretation of a farmhouse table

packs subtle upgrades into a deceptively simple design where every detail counts. When Syrette Lew of Brooklyn-based Moving Mountains was tasked with crafting an upholstered piece, she went sexy. The designer conceived a curving dining chair with pieced panels that highlight its geometry while allowing for versatility in other spaces of the home. “It would work equally well in the living room,” says Caponigro. Her table design, meanwhile, crafted from two pieces of
solid wood, embodies the gravity-defying proportions and poetry of sculpture. What all the pieces have in common is a dedication to quality, ecologically sourced materials that are expertly crafted. There’s nothing remotely “mass” about them. “They’re not rolling off a factory floor somewhere,” Schumacher’s creative director notes. “Each piece will be numbered as an edition and made by hand in Italy.” Now that’s a revival worth waiting for. fschumacher.com

For Keeps DESIGNER MALLY SKOK REFLECTS ON THE TREASURED COLLECTION OF OYSTER PLATES AMASSED AT HER CAPE COD HOME.
Just down the road from our house overlooking Buzzards Bay in West Falmouth, Massachusetts, is an amazing antiques barn. It was there, 25 years ago, when I found three beautiful hand-painted oyster plates. I didn’t purposefully set out to start a collection, but I fell in love with them instantly, and the rest is history. My mother taught me to love houses, and to layer them. Things don’t have to be terribly expensive to be special. If you love something, buy it and put it on a shelf—that’s sort of our family motto. I buy what appeals to me in the moment, and that’s how the process of collecting starts organically. If something is meaningful to you—if it speaks to your heart—it doesn’t matter what it is. That’s how you end up with an authentic collection. Slowly but surely, my collection has grown over the years, and I’m running out of room to display it. Soon I’ll need to build an addition onto the house just for my oyster plates! When I arrive each summer, I spend several hours wandering from room to room, gazing upon these objects imbued with so many memories. Being back on the Cape marks the beginning of lazy days and good times spent with family and friends. That is what this house, and my collection, symbolizes to me. I’ve been collecting for a quarter of a century—too many pieces to count!— but those first three plates I found in the antiques barn down the road are still my favorite. I have warned everyone in my family: They can break anything in this house, even my heart, but not my oyster plates.

The more comfortable a space is, the more it will be used. This is an adage touted by many a knowledgeable interior designer, but it isn’t always applied to the open air. That is, unless Lloyd Flanders is involved. “This is why we focus on durability meets luxuriousness,” says Jessie Flanders, the company’s vice president of marketing. “Inexpensive outdoor pieces will last a year or two, but high-end furniture can endure for decades, with minimal maintenance and a superior level of comfort.” And, the brand has collections to suit nearly any aesthetic, from contemporary to Hamptons chic and the Southern in feel. But when it comes to the design concept, Jessie has another bit of advice: “A cohesive indoor-outdoor flow can be achieved through consistency in
“These days, outdoor living means more than the occasional weekend get-together. This is where we relax, entertain and enjoy family time.”
color palette, materials or furniture shapes. A drastic change will make the spaces seem divided, so it’s best to stick with a common theme.”
SECRET TO LONGEVITY: LLOYD LOOM “Our proprietary Lloyd Loom® wicker is a natural fiber wicker fabric with long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility,” Jessie says. “The continuous weave avoids burrs and cracking and eliminates visible material ends. It won’t fade over time due to sun exposure or rain and is available in 20 custom finishes.” Not to mention, Lloyd Loom products can be completely repainted to alter the look later. “Lloyd Loom offerings are handcrafted to be heirloom pieces that are passed down for generations.”
BE BOLDLY BESPOKE
Top The Southport collection’s separate frame and loom panel finish options encourage design creativity. Here, it is featured in Hickory and Sea Glass for the dining area and Hickory and Ivory for the seating beyond the pool. Left This high-impact design from LDD Interiors pairs bold Lloyd Loom finishes (dining chairs in Denim and Terracotta, lounge chairs in Denim and sofa in Mink). Right New for 2022, the Solstice collection offers premium comfort in a sleek silhouette. Here, it is shown in the Ebony and French Beige finishes.

Asked to share the latest favorites, Jessie points to color and creativity. “Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration, and it has resulted in a love of customization, mixing and matching, and unique fabrics and finishes,” she says. “Our bolder finishes, like Peacock, Terracotta and Stillwater, are soaring in popularity.”
SOLSTICE solstice
The Solstice collection features clean lines, a high back, and a sleek frame that enhances the European inspired design. The fully upholstered look, and contemporary comfort make for an outdoor collection that will be enjoyed for generations.
SOUTHPORT southport
The Southport collection features a sleek frame design, accented with a beveled extrusion that captures the classic loom panels. With the choice of color on both the frame and wicker insert one can customize to any outdoor space.

The creative multi-hyphenate first joined the illustrious studio in 1995 as its inaugural furniture artist-in-residence, where he continues to produce imaginative furnishings across mediums. Naggar draws inspiration from Roman and Greek antiquities, as is evidenced by the sled legs on his resin-fiberglass chair design.

Growing up in sunny Miami, designer Constanza Collarte walked through dozens of orange groves on her way to school each day— all part of the charm found in this once-sleepy city by the sea. Fast forward a few years, and a couple more high-rise buildings later, a booming metropolis was born. But Collarte always knew she would one day return to her roots. After spending years living in New York and abroad, a 1930s Mediterranean-style residence in Coconut Grove—complete with a breathtaking outdoor area—ultimately lured her back home again. collarte.co What an amazing oasis! We like to think of it as our secret garden. Having a lush, enclosed outdoor space has made all the difference, especially recently! We spend all our time out here, whether we are having family over for dinner or hanging by the pool with our kids. One of the home’s selling points was the Fernando Wong– designed landscaping, and while we have added a few plantings here and there, his vision has remained. Constanza Collarte, founder of Collarte Interiors, sits outside her Coconut Grove abode near Miami. The table is set with a Zojora tablecloth and glasses, Penny Morrison plates, Laguiole flatware and flowers by Parrish Designs.

What about the interiors? As much as we live outdoors, our kitchen is the most heavily trafficked room, and we really tried to maximize the layout when the house was redesigned. It took a lot of planning, but the space is now open and filled with light from the doors leading out to the yard. The ‘back workings’ of the room, like the fridge, bar, pantry and storage, are also in one general area to allow for flow and functionality, which is key. Talk to us about the materials. Different layers and textures in a kitchen can add a lot. We worked with an amazing millworker who wire-brushed the cabinetry for a subtle effect. Everything from the creamy countertops to the pale wood has a hint of lilac, which is a nice connecting thread. On a trip to Morocco, I fell in love with Zellige tile—its imperfections and the way light plays off the surface—so we used them for the bar backsplash.

What’s your entertaining ethos? It’s all about indoor-outdoor living. We do a lot of entertaining alfresco—we even had my sister’s wedding out here! I’m a big collector, and I like to pick up little trinkets when I’m traveling, like salt cellars or textiles, to use on the table. The key to entertaining, for me, is continuously mixing and matching pieces. I must admit, we have a lot of the same people over, so I keep it fresh by using pieces in different ways, but the idea is to make it look effortless and easy. Tell us about the table. The exterior really informs my choices. Everything is green and lush outside, so it’s nice to throw this floral pink tablecloth down to play off the bright camelia flowers in bloom. My grandmother’s delicate embroidered napkins and bright glasses add a sweet note, but the Penny Morrison plates are really the highlight. I lived in London for a while and became quite obsessed with all those charming British prints and patterns! The kitchen features cabinetry and millwork by Hector and Hector, Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Wolf range. Dornbracht faucets are paired with Amerisink basins, while tiles from clé decorate the bar backsplash.

FAMILY AFFAIR “Chartreuse is my absolute favorite color,” effuses designer Samantha Liistro. A frequent staple across her interiors and personal wardrobe, it’s also the color of chamaecyparis trees that ring the Westport, Connecticut, garden, that her father, Paul T. Liistro, has lovingly cultivated over the past 35 years. A healthcare executive, sailor and self-taught landscape designer, Paul has poured his insatiable curiosity for the natural
world into this most resplendent of gardens. “When we purchased the property, I felt like Huckleberry Finn when he says he’s giving up on civilization and heading into the territory,” says Paul. Upon surveying the land—a virgin expanse of grass, forest and stream—he began sketching, and, like a tree taking root, the plot has since revealed itself in chapters. An all-pink rose garden (replete with a plumbed stone wall and dryad fountain) was inspired by the Elizabeth Park Conservancy in Hartford, snow-white Magnolia trees nod to Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue and a tidy pea gravel pavilion dotted with ornamental fountains and a table for two perpetuates a treasured memory. “I lived in Paris, near the
Luxembourg Gardens, while studying abroad at Parsons,” shares Samantha. When Paul came to visit at the end of the term, she knew just where to take him. “We were so inspired by all the lovely pools and places to sit. On the flight home, he took out his notebook and we began to sketch our own version.” Samantha fondly dubs the setting her “favorite place in the world,” and credits her father’s handiwork for much of her own approach to color and pattern. Recently, Paul and his wife Brenda hired their daughter to design a new first-floor addition housing a sumptuous primary bedroom suite. There, through an enormous picture window, Samantha has framed her father’s garden like a painting. samanthaliistro.com

CARVING A PATH Upon visiting his clients’ Woodside, California, property—a former equestrian farm with the beaten down dirt to prove it—landscape architect James Lord’s mission became clear. First, nurse the land back to health. Second, establish a thriving meadow. Along the way, a dreamy patchwork of soft rush, little bluestem and silver grass began to materialize. To enjoy the bounty, Lord, alongside partners Roderick Wyllie and Geoff di Girolamo, envisioned a series of crushed gravel footpaths undulating through the meadow like a soft breeze. Beyond providing the clients with their own parklike setting for daily strolls, the exuberant plant life has prompted the husband to embrace time-lapse photography, documenting such ephemera as the unfurling of cactus flowers. This luxuriant slowing, Lord believes, is imperative to mental health. “We blab on about the benefits of biophilia, but it’s all true! The alpha waves are going crazy when you’re out in nature,” he says. “This garden is curated with a spirit of delight and discovery, but there’s great calmness to it, too. It’s a world of its own.” sdisf.com
LUXESOURCE.COM
Highlights of the garden include meandering meadow paths (top), water features evocative of the property’s agricultural roots—like a trough-inspired reflecting pool (left)—and draught-tolerant cactuses and succulents (above).
YOUNG AT HEART
“We were trying to create a bit of magic within the landscape—to invite imagination and play,” shares landscape architect Ed Hollander of this Southampton, New York, property. Inspired by the clients’ vibrant brood of young children, Hollander and residential studio director Melissa Reavis drew plans for a multi-faceted, experiential garden where sculptures seemingly dart amongst allées of pleached linden trees, a pollinator meadow teaming with joe-pye weed draws butterflies, and a life-sized chessboard offers entertainment, function and a focal point. A custom creation of sandstone and granite squares (in collaboration with the home’s interior designer Kelly Behun), the board easily morphs into a stylish party pavilion—the perfect springboard for a Gatsby-esque stroll through the fantasia beyond. “Everything is meant to be uncovered along a walk through this garden,” says Reavis. “Each time you turn a corner, a surprise is revealed.” hollanderdesign.com

In a tête-à-tête with Central Park’s tree line, a design team crafts a thoroughly refreshing retreat.
A NEW LEAF

t’s not often that you get to move into a brand-new residence while keeping your current address intact. But that’s exactly what this New York City family of four did when they zipped two separate apartments into one expansive flat—right within the same prewar building they’d been living in for the past 12 years. Their transition to a lower floor did more than give them room to roam: it nestled their living quarters at eye level with the lush tree line of Central Park. “They’re on the perfect floor now,” shares their longtime designer Katie Ridder, who outfitted their previous home upstairs and whom they confidently enlisted to reimagine their new digs. “You’re in the canopy, as opposed to sitting above it, looking down,” she notes. “You’re living within that greenery.” This verdant panorama kick-started the prismatic palette that would guide the yearand-a-half long renovation, a project in collaboration with architect Kay Leong, general contractor Joseph Galea and Katie Ridder Inc. team members Hillary Paulen, Catherine Owen and Danielle Kelling. Brought down to the studs, the troupe laced the layout back together, crafting a rainbow enfilade that proceeds from the primary gathering rooms fronting Central Park West and carves an L-shape towards the back of the unit. Ensconced there, intimate spaces like the wife’s office and children’s bedrooms best enjoy the privacy and quiet. “The most important thing when joining two separate apartments is to make them flow as one,” notes Leong, citing the herculean efforts that went into overhauling the floor plan to achieve an organic hierarchy of spaces. Aiding that flow is Ridder’s artful progression of hues. “We enjoy Katie’s sense of color,” says the husband. “Our first apartment wasn’t our forever home, but this one is much more likely to be—so we really encouraged Katie and her

team’s creativity.” Ridder’s own residences are notoriously vivid, with luscious details like mulberry walls and lilac floor tiles. Here, the designer gladly embraced her clients’ directive with the added assurance that the luminous canvas could handle such saturation. “You can always use more color in a sunny apartment, because it will absorb the light,” she explains. The home’s vibrant disposition is perhaps on boldest display in the formal dining room, where pistachio millwork frames wallpaper panels replete with monkeys, parrots and palm fronds. Ridder and her clients combed the racks at de Gournay together and fell for the tropical pattern’s unexpectedness. Adding another layer of exoticism to the space is a vintage, icy-white glass chandelier with leaf-like motifs—a favorite category of lighting for the designer. “I love Venetian chandeliers,” Ridder says. “They’re whimsical and have a lot of liveliness to them, but they’re clean at the same time.” A secret garden feel continues into the adjacent living room, with its lattice-patterned carpet and buxom corner sofa in grass green fabric, which was inspired by the influential 19th century painter, city planner, designer and architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Ridder visited Potsdam, Germany, several years back, touring many historical houses of his design and developing an affinity for the graceful, round-back furnishings he’d often use to fill corners. Schinkel’s signature silhouettes have practical raison d’être on the infamously cramped island of Manhattan: “Corner sofas make a great use of real estate,” notes Ridder. Yet what’s truly impactful about this home isn’t just what’s there, but what isn’t. Given the rich tapestry that shifts from chartreuse to emerald to russet just beyond the windows, “we didn’t want to crowd the rooms with furniture,” says Ridder. “There’s a lot of space to breathe and move around.” The final effect has the sweeping, room-to-twirl feel of a picnic in the rolling grasses of Central Park.
In the entry of this Manhattan apartment, designer Katie Ridder chose Pierre Frey’s Djembe wallpaper to create a calming envelope with a hint of intrigue. Atop the fruitwood console by Carl Malmsten is Thomas O’Brien’s Elena table lamp. Above hangs a vintage rattan mirror in the manner of Consuelo Crespi.

OUT OF BODY Exploring ancient earth shaping traditions, a New York artist sculpts dazzling modern artifacts. W R I T T E N BY C H R I S T I N E D E O R I O | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY E VA N S U N G

o the casual observer, sculptor Brie Ruais might seem to work alone—whether on her isolated property in Nevada, where she builds ephemeral creations atop the raw landscape, or in her Brooklyn studio, where those desert visions inspire permanent sculptures that seem to emanate from the walls. But the artist considers her approach to be a collaborative one—between her body and equally sized masses of clay. “I’ve always had this relationship to what a material could impart,” she says. “That receptivity has allowed me to develop a practice that’s very open to clay’s capacities and personality.” It’s also what has led Ruais to work not just with her fingers, whose dexterity often exerts too much control over her material, but with her entire body, which the artist uses to push, scrape and kick softened clay in a series of choreographed motions she refers to as scores. “The hands are such an extension of the mind; they’re making what it wants to see,” she explains. “But when it’s my whole body expressing something, it opens up a subconscious level of knowing. The body holds memories in ways the mind isn’t aware of.” Ruais’ works, in turn, record their experience of being made. Footprints show where the artist crouched as she pushed channels of clay away with her palms and knuckles, while expressionistic swaths of color—often inspired by sky- and landscapes—reveal her gestural glazing techniques. Ragged voids show where she has torn open or scraped out the centers of her compositions. “Because I’m working on the ground,” Ruais says, “the pieces become topographical maps of movement and gesture; they’re evidence of events in the same way that, after a rodeo, you have these traces on the ground of what has taken place.” When these maps are fired and mounted on a wall—shifting suddenly “from this raw, base place of the ground we tread upon to this privileged space where we put things that have value,” Ruais says—they undergo a transformation that surprises even their creator. “They turn into something else once they’re on the wall,” she notes. “They leave my body and become these independent forms.” With no frame to contain it, the clay radiates an energy that fills the room, challenging the static nature of sculpture—and the notion of a moment frozen in time.

endall Wilkinson has mastered the art of balance. The designer, whose eponymous San Francisco-based firm celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, has become renowned for her ability to marry classic and contemporary elements with unmistakable aplomb. So, when she discovered a residence originally designed by famed architect Alfred Henry Jacobs, she immediately began imagining its rebirth as her family’s new abode. “The home had not been updated in some time, and it needed a refresh,” says Kendall. “But I could see it had really good bones.” Jacobs built the house for himself in 1915 and had fashioned it with such integrity that the structure was able to withstand all the earthquakes of the last century. Though the mahogany-toned millwork throughout the residence felt too dark for Kendall’s taste, the designer saw the artistry of the home’s unique form and decided to honor its history. “I wanted to let the original structure inspire the remodel,” explains the designer, and so she set out to create a thoughtful balance of old and new. Though she stained the floors a dark walnut hue and painted the intricate woodwork white before moving in, Kendall waited three years before embarking on a larger redesign. “I lived in the house with my two boys first so I could get an understanding of how we’d use it,” she says. When she did begin the transformation, she worked with her former husband, architect Rob Wilkinson, and general contractor Kevin Brunner to maintain the dwelling’s original charm. “We made the conscious decision to minimize exterior changes and turn the focus inward,” Rob says. “Inside, we kept the detailing consistent with the original character.” For instance, when the team “lifted the door heights between rooms to create a more open flow, we painstakingly matched the new moldings to the old ones,” Kendall explains. Other details, such as the home’s original leaded windows and ornate fireplaces, remain as they were built 107 years ago. To better meet her family’s needs, Kendall updated the footprint of the main living spaces,
incorporating a dining area into the formal living room. She and Rob then removed a wall and opened the remodeled kitchen into what was formerly the dining room, creating a light and airy “family zone” where the designer and her sons eat most of their meals, entertain friends and relax. “The openness makes the space feel nearly doubled,” notes Kendall. Though the upstairs layout stayed the same, the designer transformed the bathrooms to deliver a timeless elegance, and she reimagined a top-floor room as her cozy sanctuary and home office. While Kendall’s firm is a favorite of the tech industry elite—a client roster that often favors modern abodes—this house gave her permission to showcase her personal aesthetic, which skews more layered and romantic. “I love the tension between old things and new—the juxtaposition of a classical backdrop with modern art and contemporary furnishings,” she says. “There’s something interesting to me about the way pieces from different periods dialogue together within the same space.” In the living room, a reupholstered chair designed by Jacobs, and original to the house, sits alongside a 1970s chrome-and-Lucite chair, while a vintage Sputnik-style chandelier hangs near circa 1900 crystal sconces. In the grand entryway, an antique rug grounds the space while a 19th-century entry table from France presides beneath a vintage 1930s mirror that once adorned a Las Vegas casino. Though the palette on the ground floor tends toward quiet blues and grays, borrowed from the surrounding landscape of ocean and fog, the designer allowed more color upstairs in the private spaces. “My bedroom is a serene lavender, and the guest bedroom features beautiful shades of green inspired by the Arboretum wallpaper I designed,” she says. “In my sanctuary space on the top floor, I went with a deep blue to create a cozy spot to sit by the fire and watch a movie at the end of the day.” In the end, Kendall fashioned a dwelling that honors its history while reflecting an aesthetic she has cultivated over a lifetime of traveling, collecting and practicing design. “Sometimes, I walk around the house and try to find something I would change,” she says. “But I haven’t come up with anything yet—except maybe a bigger closet.”

Left: “I wanted the runner on the stairs to play off the windowpanes, but not feel matchy-matchy,” notes Kendall, who landed on a geometric Stark rug. The home’s paned windows are all original and were in “amazing condition,” says the designer. An antique crystal candle sconce from Remains Lighting rounds out the space. Opposite: Kendall chose Benjamin Moore’s Hint of Violet for the walls in her bedroom. The lavender Avani carpet by Stark has a similar serene tone. The designer used her own fabric line, Kendall Wilkinson Vignettes for Fabricut, throughout the space. An antique Venetian mirror and a 1980s Venini sconce add touches of glamour.

At once relaxed and elegant, a Palm Beach townhome is fit for comfortable entertaining.
Breezy Formality
Interior Design: Danielle Rollins, Danielle Rollins Interiors
Flanked by palm trees, ficus and jasmine, Henry the goldendoodle welcomes visitors to the Palm Beach townhome of interior designer Danielle Rollins and fiancé Tom D’Agostino Jr. Near the entrance are garden stools, calamondin orange trees in chinoiserie-style planters from Devonshire of Palm Beach and an antique urn filled with gardenias.
T
om D’Agostino Jr. never paid much attention to the Regency-style townhome he frequently passed in Palm Beach. But years later, when he and interior designer Danielle Rollins toured the property as the couple’s prospective new residence, she pointed out loads of promise: the allée of palms leading to the entrance, the grand staircase sweeping up to an oculus skylight, the private swimming pool in the back courtyard. “It had such good bones,” Rollins recalls. “I told Tom, ‘This is it.’ ” The pair soon moved from their condo to the townhome, where they spent the next five months putting their own stamp on the place. “When you’re doing a project, the house tells you what to do,” Rollins says. In this case, the townhome’s classic lines, well-proportioned rooms and easy flow called for “barefoot elegance,” she adds. “There’s a formality to it, but it’s a relaxed formality.” Tom offered a particularly descriptive take: “I suggested the style be somewhere between Peter O’Toole and Ernest Hemingway—a British Colonial feel,” he says. So, Rollins conceptualized a design that blends color with subtle patterns for a calm and sophisticated style. The couple first got to work honing the highly polished marble floors, replacing pocket doors with a more classic design and relocating the pillars that dominated the dining room to just outside the main entrance for a grander welcome. The modest kitchen was upgraded with a pantry and hidden storage to maximize every inch. “Some people come with baggage; I come with china, silver, crystal and linen,” Rollins quips. Overflow mementos are displayed in the dining room’s massive antique breakfront, a sentimental item from her previous Atlanta home. “I need to have a little bit of my past with me—a few pieces I know,” the interior designer says. “It’s a sense of comfort.” More work occurred in the television room, an angled space outfitted with built-ins. “We cut the millwork and moved it back, changing the whole look of the room to be half-octagonal,” Tom explains. They installed a cozy banquette, repurposed their former dining table into a coffee table and painted the room a moody shade of navy.
“I always say: Paint the smallest room in your house the darkest color you can stand,” Rollins shares. “It visually expands the space.” Throughout the home, gracious windows welcome radiant outdoor hues and natural light. To counter the vibrancy, Rollins embraced calm interior tones of chocolate brown, white and pale blue, with touches of black, beige and coral. “That restful palette gave me the chance to let pieces with a lot of heft pop,” she says. Inspired by the enormous mahogany front doors, for instance, the interior designer selected furnishings of the same wood, including the living area’s modern coffee table and antique English consoles. Her Queen Anne-style mirrors and lacquered Ming-style tables, meanwhile, play with the contemporaryleaning seating Tom selected. “This was the perfect way to take antique pieces and make them fit with a more modern feel,” Rollins says. The deep white skirted sofa and upholstered slipper chairs mirror guests at a dinner party—“You need a mix of skirt and legs,” she muses—while the chairs’ block print and a sisal rug nod to a Bahamian feel. The duo settled on subdued off-white walls for the main bedroom upstairs, home to a grasscloth bed with a nailhead detail and vintage night tables. “She’s gotten me to move off of the monotones to a more colorful palette, and I think I’ve gotten her to somewhere a little more centered,” Tom says, making the interior designer laugh. “It’s a good balance.” Outside, Rollins added a new portico to the front exterior, installed a fountain across from the front door and planted new greenery, including blooming white tropical flowers, star jasmine vines and green island ficus hedges. “When you live in Florida, your exterior is as important as your interior,” she says. The rear courtyard offers even more space to entertain, including oversize settees the interior designer arranged around the pool and a breezy cabana for alfresco dining. Simultaneously traditional and easygoing, the townhome is an amalgamation of the couple. It’s become a sentimental spot as well: In the courtyard during their New Year’s Eve party, Tom surprised Rollins with a marriage proposal. “I think the test of a house is that the more you’re in it, the more you like it—and we both feel that,” she says. “It’s home for us now.”
