Modern Family Living
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 exte-
rior. Reba states, “The entry into the
house is your statement to visitors. In
keeping tradition, we saved the exist-
ing 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 fam-
ily’s favorites in their extensive art col-
lection. 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.”
