FUN WITH COLOR
(Clockwise, from opposite page, top) The home-
owners didn’t want the living room/family room to
be stuffy, and Epstein had fun being creative with the
plaid faux fabric tile on the fireplace. She pulled the
rustic blue color in the woven wool and sisal rug from
the oversized photo on the wall; the blue sofa is
by Baker. (Above) Previously, the kitchen’s all-white
cabinets and traditional hardware contributed to
a country look. Because they were in great shape,
Epstein had the cabinets’ factory finish resprayed
on site. She made the room’s color theme taupe,
green and brass by having the hood custom-made
by Designer Appliances in Montclair; choosing a
chandelier, chairs and faucets of brass; and installing
a soft green, veined Taj Mahal stone island counter-
top as well as soft beige granite around the room’s
perimeter. The Calcutta gold marble tiles were
hand-installed in a chevron pattern on three of the
kitchen’s walls. (Left) The dining room sports black
wainscoting and 12-inch crown molding to play off
its white walls. With the Italian-made long glass table
from Roche Bobois, black, white and gray custom
rug from London and polymer Kartell chairs Epstein
found online, the pop of color in this room is pro-
vided by the teal bar cabinet. (Opposite, bottom) The
black theme continues into the music room with the
piano and desk, which is highlighted with painted
florals. The walls are plum, with a soft gray trim.
