INTERIORS
The midnight blue lacquered library is one of the family ’ s favorite spaces and evokes the biggest reaction from guests . Originally an outdated dark stained wood paneled room , the space came to life under six coats of Farrow and Ball ’ s “ Hague Blue .” The Rothko-style art was a fun find from a local shop . The paintings transitioned beautifully from the family ’ s past dining room into the new space . The library grew organically as the client and designer found pieces along the way . The charcoal sofas from Lee industries juxtaposed against the Jonathan Adler wool felt chairs and tables are the perfect mix of modern with traditional . The jolt of orange upholstery also connects the eye from the entry hall through the library to the sunroom beyond .
The small side hall connecting the entry to the breakfast room is papered with a blue metallic grasscloth because the space needed more than paint . The antique telephone table was inherited from an aunt . It has found a place in the family ’ s last three homes .
