wide by seven feet tall. She also indulged in one core luxury that inspired much of the design: “Woods & Stars” wallpaper from Cole & Son. “It was an extravagance, but every time I look at it, I smile,” Sarah notes. “Using that as a catalyst, I painted the living room walls a flat black above the woodwork. It is so dramatic and rich.” She used this transformative project as the perfect excuse to confirm her love of Tony Duquette and Hutton Wilkinson, choosing Hutton’s “Malachite” fabric to cover her David Easton-designed dining chairs from Chaddock. Floating above the dining table is a light fixture both contemporary and timeless: the clear glass-box chandelier was designed by her cousin, Ames Ingham. 42
The family collaboration doesn’t stop there. Sarah reveals that several of her furniture choices for the living room were inherited heirlooms. “The bar in the living room belonged to my grandparents,” she says, adding that it inspired the bar she and her cousin designed for Chaddock. “The brass cocktail table is a treasure from living in Hong Kong as a child.” The brass of that table offers a grounding counterpoint in a room bedecked with striking pops of pattern and color like the chartreuse in the Designers Guild window treatment she selected, a lively color that, Sarah explains, “started popping up everywhere in the house. Happy accident that ties the whole first floor together.”
