The entryway is one of the best examples of moving seamlessly from traditional to formal modern style . With ample parking available on the street , the majority of the family and all guests enter through the traditional front exterior . Reba states , “ The entry into the house is your statement to visitors . In keeping tradition , we saved the existing moldings and trim in the entry but changed the door , art and stair railing to be a bit more fun , light and glamorous .”
Visitors experience a Lucite stair inspired by the David Adler designed glass stair railing in the Reed House , Forest Lake ( 1931 ). The transparent glassy railing sparkles by a Holly Hunt Peso table . In the same line of sight , Andy Warhol ’ s “ Queen Beatrix ” is a nod to the owners and one of the family ’ s favorites in their extensive art collection . Also in the entryway , a Roche Bobois table sits beneath Alexandra Grant ’ s neon “ Love .” Mike Seidenberg says that while he and Beatrix may have different tastes in art , “ We both have to agree on whatever hangs on the wall .”
