One of my most important jobs as an interior designer is to express the character and spirit of the homeowners I’m working with. The owners of this home in Long Valley made the assignment easy. Their personality informs every choice in the living room. It is inviting, comfortable, and full of interesting objects and intellectual possibilities. A country feel pervades the spacious, high-ceilinged living room. Wool plaid fabrics, natural wool striped area rug and linen print window treatments add a rustic, earthy charm. We used the frame of the existing cabinets, exchanging the glass doors for raised wood panels with oversized handles, painted in a red barn finish. Inside the cabinets are all the usual home entertainment goodies—TV, stereo, CD and DVD storage. You can see a sample of the homeowners clock collection in the shelving, as well as their ample book collection in the standing bookcases. The square leather tufted ottoman works with the rich red fabrics and colors throughout the room, as does the antique tapestry on the chimney. In the bookcases you’ll find at least one volume on every United States President. Between the books and the owner’s extensive baseball card collection, my husband has found it hard to tear himself away during the few times he’s joined me on my visits to Long Valley. For me the project has been blessed, a reminder of why I do what I do. Photo: Mitchell Engelmeyer

The beauty of its grayish veins with sculptural pattern over a whitish base with caring watermarks, is strengthened by its ultra-brilliant finish of the Stonika series.

This client was so much fun to design for. Their project was all about color, texture and creating a master bedroom and guest bedroom that compliments their passion for traveling and eclectic style. We created a seating area in the master bedroom where the family can gather at night to read and spend time quality time. Their desire for deep color and bold pattern allowed us to create a casual space that is both warm and inviting at the end of a long day. Guests often visit and stay for a bit. They wanted to give their family and friends the same cozy feel in their guest bedroom. We were able to use a combination of patterns, textures and colors with our custom-made bedding and pillows. We also love to repurpose where we can and painted furniture is a great place to start. The depth of color used here is a true reflection of our clients' warm and friendly personality that says "welcome to our home."
