FUNCTIONAL, AND JUST FOR FUN
Across the open first floor, the living room is defined by its bold moldings that extend halfway up two stories. “The walls were painted butter squash
yellow before,” Tamayo says. “There were traditional red curtains. It was very different.” The homeowner hesitated to embrace the idea of deep
mahogany paint on the wood wall, but the completed design thrilled her. Bamboo shades and horizontal-striped panels let natural light flood the
room, but also afford the option of privacy. Similarly, the mid-century modern cocktail table doesn’t block the pattern of the light-colored, cut-pile
linen and wool carpet. The art deco lamps are from the luxury lighting company Arteriors. (Above, left) Tamayo and Guthreau created a built-in but-
ler’s pantry situated on the other side of the living room sofa from the tree planted in a container. There’s a “touch of glam,” says Tamayo, in the glass
tiles of its backsplash. (Above, right) A close-up of the starbursts and flowers on the cocktail table.
A RELAXING
RETREAT
The second floor bedroom
is large enough to accom-
modate a four-poster bed.
The metal of the lamp-
stand and its Lucite base
add a dash of trendiness.
The en-suite bathroom
offers a clean brightness,
with white subway tiles
and a marble bath. The
beaded light fixture looks
“subtle, like you were
traveling and you saw
this and liked it,” says
Tamayo. ■
