of the house were properly renovated
with respect to the original grandeur
while adding modern amenities to
the historic structure. Once the bones
of the house are in place, the interiors

over time. Alessandra stressed the
importance of only buying what
they loved for the house. She elaborates, “If that takes time, then all the
better because the journey is frankly
just as important and wonderful as
the destination.”
Following the groundwork laid by
Alessandra, Alina worked to follow in
the designer’s footsteps as she set out
to furnish and decorate the rest of the
space. Alina praises Alessandra: “Her
intoxicating spirit and can-do attitude
is as noteworthy as her awe-inspiring
sense of design…We are both obsessed
with details and love to infuse modern
with classic and vice versa.” 

Alessandra suggested using a red door
to symbolize prosperity and positive
energy welcoming friends to the home.
The pergola softens the front elevation
by bringing an infusion of green around
the entry.
