The Westchester Refresh

Antique shop receipts from Copenhagen, paintings carried home on planes from Spain, the accumulated evidence of a globe-trotting life. We began in the vestibule with mirrored walls creating a sense of infinity upon arrival.

The stair hall set the home's tone in a single gesture: bold Albert Hadley tree-of-life wallpaper in deep navy, a drum-shaped lantern, a tufted sofa in cobalt velvet. The library was lacquered floor to ceiling, a finish that treats books as objects, which is the only correct approach to books. The dining room received Rose Tarlow textile drenching at walls and windows and a collection of antique Southeast Asian lacquerware displayed as a continuous installation.

In the family room, a monumental geometric painting became the room's reason for existing, and everything else, the blue armchairs, the printed ottoman, the terra cotta tile, referenced this through-line. This is a home that argues for the proposition that more, properly edited, becomes exactly enough.
