stand-out design and performance of the new Samsung Convertible
Four-door Refrigerator and Flex Duo
Slide-in Range will please the eyes

as much as the palette.
Satisfy your appetite
for stylish design.
ON KITCHEN APPLIANCES
The appliances are the star of the kitchen. We want
appliances that look really beautiful, but are also
functional and built with smart congurations that
make life easier.
Samsung makes storage exible with the Convertible
French Door Refrigerator with a bottom right door can be
a fridge or freezer, maximizing fresh food storage space.
My approach to
interior design is
eclectic. I believe
in style that is
slowly collected and
designed over time.
A home should tell
a storywhere you
have been and where
you are going
and the kitchen is
no exception.

JENNY KOMENDA, designer and founder of
littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com, dishes on design, style,
and the rules she lives by in her kitchen
DREAM KITCHEN:
UNCONVENTIONAL
& UNEXPECTED
ON HOLIDAY COOKING
When hosting holiday gatherings, it is
important to spend more time with guests
and less time in the kitchen.
Samsung makes entertaining easy with the
Samsung Flex Duo Slide-in Range: Cook multiple
dishes at diferent temperatures simultaneously
with no noticeable transfer of aroma.
ON ENTERTAINING
Im a huge party thrower, so my fridge needs to
turn into beverage central. I want guests to easily
access drinks and what better way then sparkling
water from the fridge!
Samsung makes hosting easy with the Samsung
4-Door Sparkling Water Refrigerator which dispenses
still or sparkling water straight from the door!
ON UNEXPECTED DESIGN
Take unique pieces that you
might want to have in a living
room, like a worn Persian rug
and special art, and place
them in the kitchen instead.
It elevates the room and the
contradiction of modern
appliances and inviting accents
is a beautiful mix.

For a client who loves to
cook and garden, we
updated the cabinets
with a warm sage
greena color tradition-
ally used for painting
greenhouses. We knew
it would sofen the dark-
green marble counter-
tops and look great with
her collection of vintage
botanical prints. It gives
a large kitchen the feel
of a cozy potting shed.
COURTNEY COLEMAN

HILLSIDE GREEN 495
In an open kitchen
thats the rst thing you
see as you walk in the
front door, I needed
something dramatic.
So I painted all the
cabinetry black, which
really shows o the
stainless steel appli-
ances, the copper tile
backsplash, and the
glass pendants. Black
is handsome. It
has solidity and hef.

If you want something
clean and neutral
but more interesting
than white, try this
whisper of a color that
goes green or blue in
dierent lights. It adds
character and a bit
of age, its easy to live
with, and it makes
a smoother transition
to the adjacent rooms,
which are full of color.

PALE POWDER 204
For an unexpected dash
of personality and
warmth, add a shock of
color to the back of your
cabinets. I know this is
bright, but when its
behind glass doors and
acting as a backdrop to
all your dishes, it livens
things up nicely. And
its easy to change in
a few years, if turquoise
starts calling to you.

I did a black, white, and
gray kitchen in Palm
Beach, but it was
leaving us a bit chilly.
So we painted the
ceiling hot pink, and the
insides of the cabinets
a lighter version of the
same shade. The color is
a surprise and a delight.
It made the ceiling
soar and gave the space
a whole new energy.

This is the color of
puttya rich taupe that
wavers between green
and gray. Theres a
rawness to it. Its a
neutral with character.
I used it on the island
and the crown mold-
ings. Surrounded by
crisp white cabinetry,
it grounds the
space and makes it
much warmer.

The problem with
kitchens is that
theres so much cabi-
netry, which, frankly,
can be boring. Red
paint on the walls
adds some excitement
and lls up all the
blanks, pulling
the room together.
And it has been
proven that red makes
people hungry.

RED GERANIUM GLR06
Green feels like a
natural. It adds vibrancy
next to classic white
subway tiles and cabi-
nets. This is a cool green
with a hint of blue. It
makes me think of
eucalyptus leaves. Its
compatible with almost
any color and even
makes food look good.

DRIED BAY LEAF 15-24
In a Greenwich Village
apartment with
wonderfully beat-up
brick wallscarved out
of a former stablewe
chose deep cream for
the cabinetry in the
open kitchen. The color
seems to embody the
light. It glows but
doesnt turn yellow. It
led us down that warm,
vintage path without
feeling too old.
CAREY MALONEY

I had a small laundry
room o my kitchen. But
since space was at a
premium and I like to
drink much more than
do laundry, I turned
it into a butlers pantry.
I love apples and
mar tinis, so apple green
was the obvious choice.
A bright color makes
a room feel intimate,
and the glossy nish
adds a shimmer.

Im a big blue-and-white
freak. It says nautical,
crisp, and timeless
to me. I painted my
kitchen cabinets this
great bluealmost a
navy but with some
periwinkle thrown in
and did white statuary
marble on the counter-
tops, and blue-and-
white wallpaper. And of
course the cabinets
are crammed with blue-
and-white pottery.

Paint everything one
colorthis elegant gray.
Its like a frothy latte.
Not too dark, not too
cold...just right. It will
add a little architectural
gravitas to even the
saddest cabinetry. And
if it feels too restrained,
bring in lemony yellow,
blue, and white.

MASTER
CLASS
Hes known for his inviting and timeless
interiors, and his legendary shop
Aero, in New York City, is marking its
20th anniversary this year.
THOMAS O BRI EN
ABOVE: In the living room of his Long Island home, originally a 19th-century schoolhouse,
OBrien deftly mixes contemporary elements with vintage details. I love that for all the symmetry
in the room, the middle panel on the mantelpiece is not exactly centered, he says. It reminds
me of the handicraft in this old house, the small irregularities that make it charming and real.
A RICH NEUTRAL, LIKE
Pratt & Lamberts Timid-
ity, can give all the eects
of color without any of
the distracting vibrations.
I CREATE MY OWN STATIONERY, BUT I
also like to buy well-designed plain note-
pads and books, like the beautifully
simple Japanese paper items from Muji.
YEARS AGO,
I found a 1940s
star chart dur-
ing an antiquing
trip. Ive always
kept it near my
bed, like a piece
of night sky. Its
large celestial
sphere is like a
world in itself.
For something
similar, go to
municipalprints.com
AN OLD-FASHIONED
wire-mesh scouring pad
is still the best thing for
cleaning pots and pans.
I look for classic
elements from past
generations and
edit them together
for this one. Its
an American idea
of reinvention:
traditional things
for modern living.
I VE COLLECTED DISHES FOR YEARS.
I use traditional hand-painted
Italian ceramics from the Peccetti
workshop as my daily dishes.

with chocolate brown and orange. Ive had the vintage trunk forever, and the cowhide rug incorporates

HIT
Refresh!
Interior designer Libby Langdon is the queen
of the speedy makeover, giving clients a
whole new decor in a single dayon camera,
no less. House Beautiful dropped by the
set of her new TV show, Daykeover with
Libby Langdon, to see how she gave three
rooms in a Rumson, New Jersey, home a
family-friendly refresh via paint, wallpaper,
window treatments, new furniture, and
lighting, as well as some simple tricks
many achievable in just a few hours. Not
everybody can go in and overhaul a room
with all new furnishings, says Langdon.
Sometimes you just need to add a few
new pieces or rearrange existing ones
which can be just as fun and dramatic as
a complete redo. Here, her top tips. >>
The living room all started with the
goldsh painting by Penelope
Deyhle that hangs over the mantel.
We used that artwork as the jumping-
o point for our combination
of multiple bright colors, designer
Libby Langdon says. For details
about the furnishings, see page 36.

MAKEOVER
2 DONT BE AFRAID
TO BLOCK WINDOWS
Lacking a solid wall to push fur-
niture against, we had to use a
window wallsomething people
tend to avoid for fear of blocking
light or views. Dont be a slave
to your architecture: Make it work.
Low pieces like these ottomans
wont block views, even if your
windows extend almost to the
oor. And lean prolessuch
as the Parsons-style consolelet
light and air pass through.
4 GO FOR A LARGE RUG
IN A SMALL SPACE
A large faux-sisal rug makes
this area feel welcoming. I
worried that if we chose one that
was sized to leave a wide wood
border, it would make the foyer
seem smaller and the rug look
like a postage stamp! The indoor/
outdoor material is great for the
wear-and-tear of a foyer, and
the subtle pattern doesnt com-
pete with the wallcovering. >>
THE CHALLENGE Langdon wanted to make a big rst impression in this space, but she didnt
have a large canvas to work with. Every wall is punctuated with either a doorway or a window,
limiting her options for furnishings and surface treatments.
1 YOU DONT NEED BIG
EXPANSES OF WALL TO USE
WALLCOVERINGS
This dynamic grass cloth sparked
the entire color scheme. The texture
and the subtle imperfections in
the hand printing create dimension.
Although the pattern is pretty large,
its great for this foyer: Since you
never see it on a full wall, it doesnt
look too busy. People are ofen
afraid of bold wallcoverings, but
if youre just seeing slits and
slivers of it, it packs a punch with-
out overwhelming a space.

Border in Blue Melange by Samuel & Sons. Ruhlmann Three Light chandelier by Circa Lighting. Parsons console table covered in lacquered grass cloth by Bungalow 5.
Burke ottomans by Libby Langdon for Braxton Culler. Tunisia carpet in Silver by Stanton.
3 YOUR SECRET WEAPON:
OTTOMANS!
Throughout these rooms, otto-
mans bring in another scale. They
keep layouts mobile, working as
spare perches or side tables. I love
ottomans in front of a hearth,
where they draw attention to deco-
rative surrounds. And in warmer
months when your replace is dor-
mant, you have something pretty
to look attheyre like jewelry.

4 GROUP SMALL ARTWORK
FOR BIG IMPACT
People think you need to use
small artwork in a small
room, but the opposite is
true: One large pieceor
a grouping that reads as a
single big pieceworks best,
opening up a room to make
it feel larger. Here, framing a
selection of black-and-white
family photos as an ensemble
gave the same impact a large
piece of art would have. >>
1 USE WALLPAPER AS AN ACCENT
The clients loved this patterned
wallpaper, but the room is square-
foot challenged, so we had to limit
ourselves. We used it to line the
backs of the bookcasesa neat trick
if you dont want to go for a full
accent wall. Bookcases are a forgiv-
ing place for DIY wallpaper instal-
lation, because your handiwork will
be somewhat hidden.
3 SWIVEL CHAIRS!
We needed somewhere for every
family member to sit, but because
of the rooms tight dimensions we
couldnt use large chairs. These
29-inch-wide swivel chairs are
super-comfortable but sleek. I like
swivel chairs in large roomsthey
allow you to mediate between
seating areasbut theyre equally
eective in small spaces because
they give an ease of movement.
Plus, this is a family hangout, and
kids love to swivel in chairs!
2 MAXIMIZE THE SEATING AREA
WITH A SLIM-ARMED SOFA
The former sofa had arms
almost 12 inches wide, wasting
two feet of space in a room that
couldnt spare it! We swapped it
for one thats four inches smaller,
but that has 20 more inches of
sitting space because of its slim
arms. They can squish a whole
other kid on there! Dont xate
on overall sofa size; look at the
inside seat width instead.
THE CHALLENGE To devise a compact seating plan conducive to intimate group gatherings.
The clients needed a family hangout for relaxing and playing games, but the room is
tight. Langdon also wanted to incorporate pattern without making the space too busy.

MAKEOVER
2 UNMOOR YOUR FURNITURE
Everyones instinct is to push
furniture up against the walls.
And then they wonder why they
dont use the room! Its because
the furniture is too far apart
for conversation, what I call the
wallower eect. Pull furniture
away from the walls, leaving at
least 30 inches behind it to pass
through. Give it a shot: If it works,
its an easy transformation, and
if you hate itjust push it back!
3 SUPERSIZE YOUR
COCKTAIL TABLE
If your guests have to stand up
to grab an appetizer or set down
a drink, the layout of your room
needs to be more user friendly.
Here, I used what I call a connector
cocktail table because its gener-
ous size unites the seating areas,
and guests can easily reach it from
several parts of the room. Keeping
about a foot between it and the fur-
niture creates cohesion yet leaves
enough visual breathing room.
4 SET UP FURNITURE TO
ENCOURAGE CONVERSATION
Always let the activity of a room
dictate the furniture arrange-
ment. In a space where you
entertain, create conversation
areas where guests can chat.
People think, Plunk a big sofa in
there! But I nd it unusual for
three people to sit side by side
on a sofa together and turn their
heads to talk. Chairs are better
if you love to entertain. .
1 PUT DEAD SPACE TO WORK
There were awkward nooks with
high windows on either side of
the replace, and I wanted them
to feel intentional. A pair of wing
chairs sofened the angularity and
extended the seating area. Conven-
tional wisdom would suggest plac-
ing bookcases there, but shelves
lled with knickknacks would
have made the room look overpop-
ulated and would distract from the
gorgeous replace surround.

Industries wing chairs in Run Ivory. Ottomans by Lee Industries in Petite Zig Zag in French Blue by Alan Campbell. Duralee linen/silk curtains in Silver. Stainless steel Lotus cocktail
table by Bernhardt. Charleston Regency Carolina end table by Stanley Furniture. Carousel table lamps in Sof Silver by Barbara Barry for Circa Lighting. Damask marble tile by Artistic
Tile on replace. North Shore carpet in Oceanfront by Stanton. OPENING PAGE: Clients side chairs in Java Java in French Blue by China Seas. Sherise side table by Bernhardt.
THE CHALLENGE The furniture layout was a major concern for the clients, who needed ample seating
for entertainingbut didnt want to overcrowd the decor. Complicating matters, the rooms
proportions are long and somewhat narrow, with underutilized alcoves anking the replace.

I LOVE
MY BED
BARBARA KING: Are the
dogs in your bed, or are
you in theirs?
MICHELLE NUSSBAUMER:
They think its theirs.
As soon as my husband
gets up in the morning,
they crawl in with me.
Its a cartoon-worthy
scene.
Does it make me
look insane?
I meant the comical mix
of breeds, including
a Great Dane that you
could saddle and ride
the Texas trails on.
I know, Loretta is bigger
than anyone else in the
familyshe takes up half
our king-size bed. But so
be it. Anyone who says
diamonds are a girls best
friend never had a dog.
Where are their beds?
Here in the room,
all done in the same fab-
ric as my bed.
Is that one of your own
fabric designs?
No, its by Schumacher,
and the darker textile
is a 19th-century ikat
I found in Malaysia.
But I designed the tick-
ing stripe on the wall,
and the headboard is
based on a bed I slept
in at the Palais Donab
in Marrakech.
What about the panels
on the pelmet canopy?
Those are antique saris
I bought on a trip to India.
I like the whimsy of hav-
ing two dierent oranges;
it makes it less serious.
You clearly have a yen for
far-ung travels.
What I have is wander-
lust. Ive traveled the
world, and now that my
four kids are grown, Im
traveling even more.
Ive always loved exotica,
For the Dallas-based designer and owner of
the popular showroom Ceylon et Cie, the
most personal space in the house is a haven
for herand her four-legged friends.
MI CHELLE NUSSBAUMER
Ive always loved exotica,
especially that mesh of cultures and
styles where East meets West.
especially that mesh
of cultures and styles
where East meets West.
Did any style in particu-
lar inspire this room?
Probably Roger Banks-
Pyes rooms in his book
Colefax and Fowler:
Interior Inspirations. He
used a lot of blue and
white. I think thats a
combination that feels
right in any interior.
Leopard print is like that
for me too.
Orange saris, an orange
ceiling, a riot of blue-
and-white patterns: It
all comes together in a
rather theatrical way.
Well, I do like drama, and
I did study theater design
in college. I love color
and pattern, and I mix
them in a way you might
not imagine would work.
Believe it or not, the
room feels calm, maybe
because its a happy
place. Heres the thing:
Your bedroom is your
one true private space,
so follow your passion
it always works out for
the best. Your bedroom
should be about love:
things you love, people
you love, dogs you love.
And if those dogs jump
on the bed, even better!

An elegant and luscious soup is the perfect
way to celebrate the holiday season and pay
tribute to the comforts of tradition.
Lobster Bisque
When I was growing
up in Atlanta, Christ-
mas was about con-
certs. Thats because
my stepfather, Robert
Shaw, conducted at
least 12 of them every
year, including a festi-
val of carols with colle-
giate and childrens
groups and the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra,
and a Messiah with
more than 300 people
in the chorus.
Robert was Mr. Christmas.
His album Christmas Hymns and
Carols was the rst classical record
ever to go gold, and each year tens
of thousands of people heard his
concerts live, not to mention the
millions more who listened in radio
land. By the time Christmas Day
rolled around, Robert was usually
exhausted and only in the mood for
a fairly quiet celebration.
My mothers family would come
to our house for a mid-afernoon
lunch, and the menu was always
the same: Champagne, cheese
straws, and smoked salmon,
followed by lobster bisque, the
perfect roast tenderloin of beef
with sauce soubise, and creamed
spinach with red peppers, with
charlotte russe for dessert. Every

place would have a handwritten
cardand a Christmas cracker
from England for us to pull and
pop! There would be very special
red wine for the grown-ups, and
the children couldnt wait to get up
from the table to play with the
toys Santa had brought. The adults
were surely delighted by this
moment, at least until the year we
knocked over the 16-foot tree and
it came crashing to the oor.
Nobody was hurt, but I only use
small trees as centerpieces on
my table now.
Ive come to realize that the only
constant in life is change, and my
Christmases these days are spent
either in New York or Los Angeles.
If Im in New York, Ill go to an
early service of lessons and carols
at St. Thomas Church on Fifh
Avenue, and then to the house of a
friend who serves a very festive
dinner, down to the Christmas
crackers. If Im in L.A., I entertain
at home. Last year we were 40, my
adopted family of friends, and
guess what I gave them? The menu
from my Southern childhood.
Regardless of whatever else
changes, the food must stay the
same. With each bite, Im home
again in Atlanta, age 10. And not
one year goes by without me
listening to Roberts Christmas
album Songs of Angels at least two
hundred dozen zillion times.
Now Id like to share one of my
favorite holiday recipes with you.
Let me know how it goes at
housebeautiful.com/alexbisque.
Happy holidays! Love, Alex.
LOBSTER BISQUE Yield: 8 cups (68 servings)
8 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup diced onion
3 cups very rich chicken stock
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon white pepper,
divided
cup flour
1 cup heavy cream
2 lbs. lobster meat (can be
claw, tail, body, or fin)
10 tablespoons cognac, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
7 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 Melt 4 tablespoons butter over
medium heat in a large (at least
2-quart) saucepan or Dutch oven.
Add the onion and saut until
translucent, 8 to 9 minutes.
2 In another saucepan over
medium heat, warm the chicken
stock and milk. Add 1 teaspoons
salt and teaspoon white pep-
per, and continue heating until
the mixture is scalding.
3 Add the our to the onion mix-
ture and stir with a wooden spoon
until the our is cooked thor-
oughly but not browned, about 2
minutes. The mixture should be
fairly sti.
4 Add the scalding stock mixture
to the onion mixture. Whisk vig-
orously to break up any lumps.
5 Bring the mixture to a boil,
and then turn o the heat. (The
soup base will have thickened to
an appropriate consistency afer
boiling.) Stir in the cream and set
the soup base aside.
6 In a large, heavy skillet, melt
the remaining 4 tablespoons but-
ter over medium heat. Season
the lobster with the remaining
teaspoon salt and teaspoon
white pepper. When the butters
foaming subsides, add the lobster
meat to the pan. Saut for about 1
minute, making sure the lobster
is fully coated with butter. (All this
happens fairly quickly: Be care-
ful not to overcook the lobster.)
Add cup cognac and saut for
1 minute more. Remove from the
heat, drain, and reserve the lob-
ster and the pan juices separately.
7 Return the soup base to
medium-low heat and add the
remaining 6 tablespoons cognac,
the lemon juice, garlic, tomato
paste, tarragon, and nutmeg.
Whisk to combine the ingredi-
ents, and then add the reserved
lobster pan juices. Simmer the
bisque, whisking occasionally,
until fully heated through.
8 When you are ready to serve,
add the sauted lobster meat to
the bisque and serve immediately.
Do not let the lobster continue
cooking, or it will become rub-
bery and tasteless. .
OPPOSITE: Though simple and
straightforward to prepare, the
bisque is a luxe addition to a holiday
feast. ABOVE: The soup gets a rich
undertone from the tomato paste
and cognac, a lush texture from
the milk and cream, and a delicate
tang from the tarragon. Any
combination of lobster meat can be
used, including claws and tails. F

I TEND TO LOOK AT THE WORLD in amaze-
ment. But like most of us, I still need reminders to
notice the little things, like the way light plays
across the surfaces of a room or the texture of a
luxurious fabric. Ive become addicted to my
Instagram feed, because Im fascinated with how
people see the world and the way they capture it
in the pictures they share. Some people seem to
notice spectacular details and beauty at just about
every step of the day. Their Instagram posts keep
my sense of wonderment alive: Frances Palmer,
a ceramist and gardener; Miguel Flores-Vianna, a
photographer and friend living in England who
has a sharp eye for great design; and Chris Ozer,
another talented photographer who lives in
Brooklyn. In this issue weve created our rst
Amazing List. Think of it as a starting point to get
you looking for, considering, and discovering
wonderful things. New technologies are evolving at
a pace weve never experienced before, changing
the way we live. We have access with the tap of a
nger to treasures and inspiration from every
corner of the world. Whats amazing today may be
normal tomorrow. But I never want to lose the
sense of wonderment that also helps me appreciate
the simple things around me every day.

IN HIS OWN HOME, A DESIGNER
CAN T RESIST PUTTING A
STYLISH SPIN ON TRADITION
Mastering
Classics
The library in designer Garrow
Kedigians Manhattan apart-
ment sheds fresh light on
the classics he collects, both
literary and decorative. A
bergre in Pierre Freys Dune
partners with a mid-20th-
century inlaid desk. Custom

hallmark Greek key pattern.
OPPOSITE: In the living room,
an art project Kedigian painted
in architecture school hangs
above a vintage Parzinger
campaign chair. New moldings
conjure Beaux Arts grandeur.

I wanted to have a library before that notion becomes extinct,
says Kedigian, but the shell had to feel contemporary and fun.
Solution? A vibrant custom palette in a Fine Paints of Europe
Brilliant nish. Curtains of Clarence House Elettra ank a sofa in
Scalamandrs Variegation herringbone. A Louis XV fauteuil (a
gif from Kedigians grandmother) retains its original blue velvet,
and a neoclassical side chair is updated with Glant Liquid Leather.
58
DOUGLAS BRENNER: Did Fred Astaires feet actually
touch this oor?
GARROW KEDIGIAN: I didnt nd out until my co-op
board interview that he lived here for about
10 years afer World War II. The owners before me,
who purchased the place from him, had hardly
changed a thing. It was a wreck. We scraped o
32 layers of paint and wallpaper. The plaster had
cracks you could stick a nger in. White shag
carpeting covered the parquet! There was almost
none of the original architectural detail youd
expect to nd in a Beaux Arts Park Avenue build-
ing like thisonly plain square beams.
Other than a glamorous past, what was the allure of
those bare bones?
It was the oor plan I really responded to. Much
of my family background is Frenchmy grand-
mothers Paris apartment has a classic room-to-
room-to-room enladeand the layout here felt
very Parisian. I saw at once that if I cut a large
opening from the dining room into what had
been the master bedroom, and turned that into a
library, I could have an enlade straight through
to the replace in there. Its wonderful for enter-
taining. Of course, I added all the crown mold-
ings, paneling, casing, and chair rails.
Why doesnt this come o as one more Puttin on
the Ritz revival?
My style is streamlined classic. Tailored and
crisp. If you go too heavy with the architecture, you
lose the contemporary aspect of a space. Although
I have a passion for ea marketsnothing here is
new, apart from the upholsteryI am not design-
ing for 100 years ago. Some midcentury and
contemporary pieces are threaded through the
antiques and found objects. Painting an entire
room a strong color, including the trim, gives it
an edgy freshness, because the color becomes
part of the architecture. High-gloss paint adds
dimension and strength to any pigment. I dont
like whiteits such a developer default. Endless
white rooms are depressing.
Where did you nd that dreamy blue?
When I was 10, my parents took us on a trip to
India. New Delhi is where I began to understand
the power of design. We visited a palace where one
room was bright turquoise, and the ceiling was
open to the sky. It was the most incredible space
Id ever seen. I said, One day, Im going to have a
blue room that gives you this feeling. My library
does it for me. I struggled with the actual shade,
because what looked great in daylight wouldnt
look good at night, and vice versa. We tried at least
25 samples. I would come at all hours to see how
it felt. I kept saying, Its too juvenile, until the
painter got it just serious enough by adding black.
This bold geometric rug is a terric foil to the muted
Persian carpet in the dining room.
That rug looks beautifully threadbare only
because its turned upside down. If you saw the
other side, you would die. Its so boisterous, so
noisy. Persian rugs can overwhelm a room; I do
that to calm them down. I bring clients here to
show them ideas like thator painting window
frames black to sharpen the view.
Would you call the living room caf au lait?
My painter calls it brown paper bag. It was
inspired by a mesmerizing color I rst saw in a
townhouse [interior designer] Tim Whealon did
for William Reilly, a fabulous collector of antiqui-
ties. That deep mocha brought an almost homey
feeling to objects youd expect to see against white
museum walls. At night, these walls are quite
mysterious, and the high-gloss ceiling reects
yellow cabs going up and down Park.
Your asymmetrical furniture arrangements make
inviting detours.
The living room was tricky, because with the
French doors, the replace, and the opening to the
dining room, you have only one good wall for fur-
nishings. I knew immediately I wanted an inti-
mate seating group by the replacethe angled
banquette and the wing chairbut the room is
too big for just that. I put in a oating sofa and set
it perpendicular to the French doors, so they are
what you see rst when you walk in.
Why is the dining room table o-center?
I wanted to keep the central view through my en-
lade open. But really, its an extravagance today
to make a dining room just a dining room. I have
people over for dinner, but I also work at my laptop
here, play the piano, and host amateur recitals for
friends. Whatevers going on, the cabriole chair
legs dance around that deconstructivist table.
Swan Lake meets The Rite of Spring?
I like to throw in a foreign element, something
askew that livens the mix of old and new. On the
dining room banquette, we reused the ancient vel-
vet that still hung at these windows when I moved
in. Its a conversation starter at parties to tell
guests theyre sitting on Fred Astaires curtains.
RIGHT: Striking a balance between intimate and formal, the dining/music room features walls upholstered in subtle
Chelsea Editions Diamonds outlined with ebony-painted trim (black warmed with a dab of brown). I needed a sofness
here to diuse the visual noise of the high-gloss rooms on either side of this one, but the dark trim still conveys the
strength of the architecture, Kedigian says. A set of 19th-century chairs dressed in Schumachers Shock Wave cozies up
to a gently worn velvet banquette with P.H. Dorcic bullion fringe and pillows in Holland & Sherry and Dye-Namix fabrics.
He used gold paint to dress up the wood table base by Mecox Gardens. The display cabinets have a faux-limestone nish.

I never start on the decorative
aspects of a space until Ive settled
on a solid furniture plan, Kedigian
says. He designed the living room
sofa and upholstered it in the same
Chelsea Editions Diamonds that
he used in the dining room, but in
another colorway. The club chair
is covered in Clarence Houses
Neisha Crosland Fleuret Chevron
and the corner banquette in Lee
Jofas Spectrum Velvet, which

LEFT: The kitchen is where we hang out and entertain, says Bhargava. I wanted it to feel soulful, and the Bolton lanterns
take me back to the bazaar. She hung two at either end of the long room to unify the space. Captain barstools by Pottery
Barn are pulled up to the large island. Everything is centered here, she explains. I can put out the best hors doeuvres on
another table somewhere else, and it doesnt matter. Everyone goes right back to that island. Mauviel copper stockpot and
Apilco Trs Grande Porcelain dinnerware from Williams-Sonoma. Baskets and trays by Williams-Sonoma Home. Custom-
made cabinets with open shelves are set against a beadboard wall and accented with Rocky Mountain Hardware pulls.
CHRISTINE PITTEL: Your house is lled with all sorts
of exotic treasures. Is travel part of your job?
MONICA BHARGAVA: Yes. I do design and product
development for both Williams-Sonoma and
Pottery Barn. My team and I are working with
vendors all over the world. A trip might start o in
France and Italy and then go on to Turkey, India,
Hong Kong, and China.
Are you visiting factories or ea markets?
Both. I try to balance the schedule with a few
inspiration stopsea markets, museums, his-
torical monuments. In Marrakech, the wedding
blankets I saw in the souk became pillows for Pot-
tery Barn. In Barcelona, I loved the surprise and
the leaps of scale in Gauds mosaic work, and that
led to a new line of dinnerware.
When youre traveling, what do you miss most about
your house?
Other than my daughter and my husband? Well,
I miss hanging out in the backyard with a glass
of wine. California has such a great indoor/out-
door vibe. Its a casual, comfortable lifestyle, and
I think even the more traditional collections we do
for Williams-Sonoma Home get put through that
casual lter. This house is a 1960s ranch. I wanted
a place that was easy, open, and that I could make
my own. We dont have a formal dining room. We
eat in the big kitchen/dining area/oce/family
room we added, or we eat outside.
Do you use the house as a design lab?
In my business, the line between work and home
is a blur, and theyre constantly inuencing each
other. This house is my style. I like to surround
myself with beautiful things, but the impulse is
not really about decorating. Its more about the
story, the sentiment, and the memory that go with
each object. Thats why I have a lot of Indian art. I
grew up in India. Then I came to the United States
to go to university and stayed.
I look at your rooms and see white walls, and every-
thing else seems to be either white, brown, or black.
Why did you limit your palette?
I come from a culture that is full of color. I work
with color all day long. But when Im at home, I
want a release from it. That actually allows me to
be more objective about color at the oce. And for
me, a neutral palette is just more calming. It also
works really well with my passion for collecting. It
became a good lter. I could collect anything, from
any culture, and I knew it would all go together
as long as it was white, black, or brown.
You chose a pared-down palette, but it still has
energy. And the energy is all in the pattern. And the
pattern is in the textiles.
I love textiles and pattern! My family was in the
textile business back in India, and pattern is
part of my DNA. I grew up with windows made
of carved-wood lattices. Every column was deco-
rated with pattern. Even the tap for the faucet had
a pattern engraved on it. In my own house, I use
pattern to add texture and contrast. Theres a cer-
tain discipline and simplicity that comes with a
neutral palette, but it can be devoid of soul. Pat-
tern is what makes it rich and gives it depth.
How do you handle multiple patterns?
I layer them. Ill start with a foundation of plain
white linen on the big anchor pieces, like a sofa or
a bed. That becomes a great canvas where I can
add textiles, and its easy to shif them around.
I love the concept of layering. It allows me to add
more things as I buy them.
Clearly youre not afraid of scale. Every piece of
furniture in your living room is big.
I like big, generous chairs and sofas, and extra-
large coee tables. The one in the living room is
covered with an old leather gym matI love the
patina! The one in the family room is actually an
old dining table, with the legs cut down. I like hav-
ing expansive surfaces, so I can display all my col-
lections. Whats the point of having them if you
cant enjoy them? And theres still room to set out
a spread of tapas if you like.
Every surface is a lesson in display.
Look at the living room coee table. Old bread-
boards are layered with books and vintage sil-
ver candlesticks. Then that new black vase feels
richer and deeper, because its surrounded by
things with a history. The objects on my desk
are organized into a pyramid shape. Suitcases
stacked with books and artwork create height.
The center is dominated by a statement piecean
old Indian alphabet slate. Then little things, like
boxes, give you a sense of discovery. I also group
art on the walls, which makes you pause and look
longer than you would at one individual painting.
How do you want your rooms to feel?
Beautiful, stylishand accessible. Nobody wants
to live in a museum. If you cant use the things
youve bought and loved, then theyre not really a
luxury anymore. Theyre a burden. If I cant use
it, then it doesnt enter my homeor the stores.

BARBARA KING: You must have envi-
sioned an impossibly glamorous
woman living here.
JAMIE DRAKE: Very glamorous, very
urbane. I invented her as the grand-
daughter of Josephine Baker, the Jazz
Age icon. Shes a successful woman
in her late 40s who is the special
events director of a major fashion
magazine. Shes also a single mother
whose daughter is working on a mas-
ters degree and living at home.
And what prompted that leap of
imagination?
The minute I saw Walker Towera
marvelous 1929 Art Deco skyscraper
thats been developed by JDS Devel-
opment Group and Property Mar-
kets GroupI was transported back
to a time that was exuberant and
forward-thinking, when designers
began to use straight lines, geomet-
ric patterns, and luxurious mate-
rials. Josephine Baker embodied
the era, breaking down barriers in
a provocative and glitzy manner. I
conjured up this client to convey Jose-
phine as a woman of todaywhile
still taking cues from her heyday in
Parisliving in a luxury residence in
Chelsea. Its France meets New York.
Does her life bear any resemblance to
her grandmothers?
She inherited a passion for hosting
the most chic, exciting parties, so
it was important to have an apart-
ment well-suited for entertaining.
Thats why there are exible seating
arrangements in the living room,
which is divided into two groupings
separated by a chaise. People can
sit on the chaise and face the sofa or
toward the console thats set up as a
bar. Its called the Lipstick console
how appropriate is that?
Did you have a quick and clear vision of
how youd decorate?
I knew immediately how I wanted
to lay out the space, as I generally do
with all projects. I think I have a gif
for seeing things slightly dierently
than other people might.
What did you see dierently here?
In the dining area, I placed the table
not where most people wouldby the
kitchenbut in front of the replace.
In the master bedroom I oated the
bed to take advantage of the views,
rather than placing it against a wall.
You also have a gif for using color in a
distinctive way.
Much of my use of color is intuitive
and painterly, probably because I
took so many art classes when I was
young. The pink in the living and
dining areas, for example, just felt
au courantlike the right pink for
the moment. Its a warm coral with
a sophisticated, feminine point of
view. And it connects to the cityscape.
There are spectacular east, west, and
south views from the apartment,
and you see all these faded redbrick
buildings. So it throws your eye out
to the views in a subtle way.
It seems to glow in a subtle way, too.
The base color is Salmon Peach by
Benjamin Moore, which has an inher-
ent sort of glow, but then we had a dec-
orative painter apply a light bronze
glaze that gives it a pearl escence.
The wall color changes as your van-
tage point changes, mimicking the
kind of reflections and variations
found in the metals used to craf the
great buildings of the Art Deco era.
That deep plummy purple in the second
bedroom is really sexy.
I wasnt afraid to go dark in there
because the room is flooded with
light. It creates intimacy during the
day and allows the sparkling views
to really pop at night. Its Venetian
plaster applied by a team from the
Alpha Workshops, an organization
that trains people with HIV/AIDS in
the decorative arts. Im chairman of
the board, and I always have a little
bit of Alpha in my projects.
The master bedroom walls are their
own kind of view.
Theyre covered in a digitally printed
watercolor, a celestial interpretation
that gives you the feeling of being
thrust into the sky. And in a oating
bed, it becomes a more dreamy expe-
rience, as though youre oating in
space, above the clouds.
Just as writers have a voice, so do deco-
rators. How would you describe yours?
My voice is condent, bold, nuanced,
and witty.
What are the witty gestures here?
Touches such as the wonderful three-
dimensional wall sculpture over the
bed in the daughters room, which
almost creates a modern canopy. And
in the stacks of books on either side of
the replace that have most of their
spines turned away from the viewer.
The only ones showing are the few
that relate to Paris and New York in
the 1920s, so it teases you and makes
you wonder what else is in that library.
The eect is like graphic art.
Boldly graphic. It sort of grabs you
by the lapels and pulls you in. Not
only that, but it also helped us with
a design challenge. You have these
two very thin yet somewhat deep side
niches, and rather than leaving them
emptyor the more predictable solu-
tion of putting in a pair of pedestals
with vases on topI created some-
thing much more tantalizing. But
then again, the whole apartment is
tantalizing!

ABOUT THE MIX OF TARTANS, TWEEDS,
AND MOODY HUES
Highland

FRANCES SCHULTZ: We hear a lot about
spare and pared down in decorating
today, and these rooms are anything
but. Charming anachronism or time-
less tradition?
SCOT MEACHAM WOOD: I hope I can
be charming, anachronistic, and
timeless all at once! I certainly feel
the apartment recalls the roman-
tic, collected style of the Edwardian
era. And no one is going to mistake
my home for a clean-lined, modern
space. I have friends with homes like
that and I love them, but they truly
are not for me. Even afer working all
day surrounded by textiles and case
goods, the swirling lushness of my
place comforts and calms me.
How did you get from Louisville, Missis-
sippi, to San Francisco?
An odd conuence of events. Afer
college, I moved to Colorado to be a
ski-lif attendant. Because my father
was in the military when I was grow-
ing up, I was always on time, and I
was shocked at the number of things
for which I got hired. Within months,
I was running two stores, playing
the organ at church and the piano at
cocktail bars, and waiting tables.
Renaissance Man meets Energizer
Bunny. Good heavens, child.
But I began to get tired. Thats when
I decided I wanted to work for Ralph
Lauren. I was hired rst in Vail and
then in San Francisco. I was 23 years
old, and it was kind of a whimlets
go to California! I worked with Polo
for almost 14 years, until 2001.
How did you make the move from
clothes to interiors?
I was on the sales floor and then
moved into the creative services
department. We did all the windows
and interior stylingeverything
but sell clothes. Wed create an Eng-
lish manor house one season and a
French beach resort the next. It was
an amazing design educationdeal-
ing with all the details that make a
room sing, layering accessories and
madcap pattern-mixing.
Is that a coat of arms on the door?
Its original to the building, as are
the picture rail moldings and the
painting on the living room beams.
All from 1929. That it survived the
70s is staggering to me.
Was the black-and-white hall floor
original?
No, I painted that myself. I love black-
and-white oors because they pull
your eye into the space.
The hallway is a visual feast in itself.
Its almost six feet wide and lends
itself to a nice little library, dark and
moody. And I love that big gallery
wall opposite the bookcase.
What prompted you to paint the ceil-
ing red?
I love the chinoiserie chest, and over
the course of a long weekendseven
layers of dierent red paints laterI
matched the color of the chest. With
all the books and artwork, there
needed to be a marquee design note,
and that red t the bill.
Youre condent with color. That blue
on the living room walls is wow.
Isnt it marvelous? Its an old color
from Benjamin Moore called Gentle-
mans Gray, though I cant gure out
why they named it that. Its almost
a navy version of turquoise. I love a
dark room. The blue made it feel a lit-
tle more modern than the olive green
it was before. I painted it while I was
watching the Oscars.
Your bedroom is the epitome of cozy,
and yet it is masculine and strong.
It is less heavily layered than other
parts of the home. The bed is inspired
by old English half-testers that give
a great sense of privacy. We sized the
depth of the wing to be the same as
the pillows, so Im nice and tucked
in there. The tweed wallpaper on
the ceiling evokes a mens suit, and
the small check balances the larger-
scaled tartans in the room.
Speaking of tartan, is that a Ralph Lau-
ren inuence, too?
My heritage is Scottish, so some of it
is genetic. I have a fascination with
tartan and with Scottish history. Im
actually working on a new fabric line
of imported custom tartans.
And when might we look forward to
seeing them?
Fingers crossed, in fall of 2014.
That is one tiny kitchen.
It is the smallest kitchen on earth.
I can stand in the middle and touch
all four sides. A couple of years ago
I brought in extra metal shelving,
which gives me more workable coun-
ter and storage space.
Why did you paint the cabinets black?
That was another time I drank too
much coffee. With so much going
on in the space, black seemed more
neutral, and I like the drama of it. It
had been brown before, and the black
brought it more into the present
and its not as predictable.
Do you entertain here?
I do. Those two little cocktail tables
in the living room pop into a closet
and a dining table sits there. I gather
odd chairs and can seat eight on not
much notice. Thats the convertible
part of the apartment.
As a designer, are you always convert-
ing something here?
My home is such a laboratory. I rotate
things in and out of storage, and in
a couple of years it will all be pulled
apart and reimagined. Its how I keep
things fresh.

KITCHEN OF
THE MONTH
CHRISTINE PITTEL: You design
textiles. And now kitchens, too?
CAITLIN WILSON: Actually, I
started out as an interior
designer and then turned to
textiles when I had kids.
But I still take on certain proj-
ects. Ive been working on
this clients house in phases,
updating it room by room.
What was the problem with
the kitchen?
The 1980s design was looking
tired. We wanted to clean it up
and let in more light.
Did you take down any walls?
No, the kitchen and the break-
fast area were always part
of one big room, divided in half
by that peninsula. The basic
layout made sense, although we
did move some things around.
Like what?
The refrigerator. Originally, it
stood to the lef of the range,
but refrigerators have a way of
overwhelming a space. So we
decided to move it to another
wall, where we could integrate it
into the cabinetry more unob-
trusively. Then we designed a
hutch to t into the spot where
the refrigerator used to be. It
makes that area feel much more
open, since it has glass-fronted
doors instead of solid ones.
And its a decorative piece.
Aesthetically, it gives the room
a focal point.
And on the other wall, you did a
good job of masking the fridge.
That was our cabinetmaker, who
made the beautiful paneling.
We added a cornice on top and
feet on the bottom, which also
make the refrigerator look more
like a piece of furniture.
Why switch to gray paint for all
the cabinetry on that wall?
We had already introduced some
warm grays into other rooms
in the house. And I wanted
something dramatic, to create a
contrast to all the white. White
is a classic color for a kitchen,
and I thought it was appropriate
for this classic, Colonial-style
house. But then the gray gives it
a little edge and makes
the white look even more
crisp and clean.
And they both look great against
the dark wood oor.
Thats not wood. Its porcelain
tile, made in a lovely shade of
gray and laid in a herringbone
pattern. Its a great, durable
choice for a family with two
dogs. We knew it was going to
be tricky to match the original
oors in the house, and anyway,
we wanted something dierent.
The subway tile on the walls
is dierent, too.
Yes, its another spin on a clas-
sic, made of Calacatta Gold
marble instead of the usual plain
white porcelain. The gray vein-
ing works with all our grays,
and then we picked up the gold
in the tile with brass hardware.
And brass light xtures. Theyre
like the jewelry in the room.
But you didnt stick with brass
for the faucets. Why not?
When it comes to a faucet, the
person whos going to use it has
the nal say. And my client
likes polished nickel, which hap-
pens to look great with all the
stainless steel. I like it, too, and
I think its ne to mix metals.
Is that a skylight over the sink?
Yes, and getting the clients to
go for that was a feat because
all you have to do is say skylight
and everybody thinks leaks. But
we needed more natural light,
and once we popped it in, it just
opened up the whole room.
Suddenly it felt magical to stand
there and do the dishes. >>

that it runs from the ceil-

then continues onto the

side of the room and
creates a sense of uidity.
And tranquillity...
I think a bathroom should
feel tranquil. Although
the guy who installed the
tile almost had a nervous
breakdown. He had to lay
it all out on the bedroom
oor to make sure the
colors had the right ow.
What inspired the
design of the vanity?
I took the classical details
from the architecture,
by Mark Ferguson and
Oscar Shamamian. Its
a pleasure to work with
them. A vanity should
be highly functional, as
well as a beautiful piece
of cabinetry. We topped
it with the same Thassos

CHRISTINE PITTEL: Im

SANDRA NUNNERLEY: Its
like a cascade of water
running down a hill, in all
the colors of water from
dark to lightaqua, pale
blue, celadon green.
The striation of color
creates a beautiful blur.
And a kind of luminosity,
like a Mark Rothko paint-
ing. In my new book,
Interiors [PowerHouse
Books], we set a shot
of this tile wall beside
a Rothko to show the
re semblance. Art
is an endless source of
inspiration for me.
Its a glamorous bath, but
then theres something
refreshingly simple about
the shower curtain.
Simplicity is intrinsically
elegant, dont you think?

a beautiful drape and it
seems to frame the wall,
as if youre pulling back

The husband has a sepa-
rate bathroom, with
a large walk-in shower.
Did you think of the
two rooms as twins?
No, theyre more like
companion pieces. His
has a masculine, tailored
look. The space, like hers,
is not all that big but it
still has presence, thanks
to the strong details.
Strips of chocolate-
brown marble on white
marble suggest classical
moldings. Mosaic tiles
reappear, but theyre all
white this timemore
clean and crisp.
Why choose sconces to
ank the mirrors?
They give good light. And
its easy to customize a
shade with a bit of trim
blue for her, brown for
him. They each have their
own space and some
privacy. Im a big believer
in separate bathrooms.
Im sure theyve been
the saving grace in more
than a few marriages. .

1. This new leather
club chair would be per-
fect for the 1950s ranch
house I just bought in
Fort Lauderdale. Instead
of hiding the seams,
theyve exposed them
it almost looks like they
created a slipcover
and turned it inside out.

2. I am coveting this
lampin apple green
for the sunporch of
my new old house in
the Hudson River Valley.
It would look great
on a desk I just bought,
or on a side table next
to a daybed.

3. Im on a quest to
nd stemless wineglasses
for casual weeknight
dinners. This tumbler
may have been designed
as a water or juice glass,
but I think its perfect
for winebeautifully
proportioned, tactile,
and deliciously thin.

4. I want a big bonsai
to bring nature inside. The
ones Im attracted to are
the old ones, with crooked
branches and nubby
rootsthey look like some-
thing out of a fairy tale.

5. Nightstands! This
new piece is covered
in suede-like leather
with bronzy legs. I
love its sof, almost
Art Moderne lines.

in 1938, but its robust
and comforting shape has
never gone out of style.

7. Im a big believer in
throw pillows. I change
them by the season.
This one has an arti-
sanal hand-block
print, and the details
mother-of-pearl buttons,
hand-stitched piping
are incredible.
