This villa is set in the luscious South Florida vegetation of Coconut Grove, south of Miami. The client loved the style of Tuscan villas, and they became the inspiration for the design of this classical home. The villa’s main body consists of a succession of entertainment spaces that begins with a two-storey, barrel-vaulted foyer. Through a series of five arches the foyer flows into an expansive living room with a view of the gardens, fountains and swimming pool. The dining room and kitchen are open from one side of this area, and the library, billiard room and movie theatre are on the opposite side. Guests are accommodated in the west wing of the villa, and the east wing houses a six-car garage and servants’ quarters. The owner’s suites on the second floor are extensive and very private.

From the Fingerlakes Collection of Stickley, this magnificent birdcage pedestal Geneva dining table and Bradford chairs are simply stunning. The deep cherry wood has been lightly distressed to blend well with the other antiques in the home. A tasteful herringbone fabric in celery green on the side chairs accent the Stickley Custom Rug called Falling Leaves. Two Bradford Arm Chairs (not pictures here) upholstered in a luscious spice chenille are the perfect complimentary end chairs. Talk about a winner!

Before, the living room layout of this room blocked the fireplace, and the design was too dark and heavy for the homeowners tastes. Space planning a floor plan that enhanced the shape of the room and opening up the fireplace was key to the room’s best potential. Removing the heavy drapes and framing the windows with soft, soothing draperies also helped in brightening up the room. One of our favorite parts of the design was pulling out the homeowners’ old wing back recliners and giving them new life by re-upholstering them in a luscious ivory fabric. Megan Kranz
