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.” 20 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
