The gentle curve of this staircase sets the tone, preparing the viewer for artistry. Red oak treads follow the gentle arc of the staircase, their radius nosing softening what could have been a hard geometric statement into something more inviting. Vertical black metal balusters rise in clean rhythm alongside, grounding the warmth of the oak with a contemporary edge. What ties it all together is the continuous handrail, a custom profile that flows uninterrupted through the stairwell, transitioning seamlessly into the newel without missing a beat. The result is a staircase that feels sculpted rather than assembled. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

A feeling of calm productivity. The desk and chair have clean lines, which creates a sense of order and minimizes visual clutter. This can help to reduce stress and improve concentration. The white walls and light-colored wood tones create a neutral color scheme. Neutral colors can promote feelings of calmness and peace. The desk surface is uncluttered, with only a laptop and a lamp. This lack of clutter can help to reduce feelings of overwhelm and make it easier to focus on the task at hand. The painting above the desk could be considered inspirational, depending on the taste of the viewer. Art can add a personal touch to a space and improve mood. Overall, the feeling of this home office is one that is conducive to focus and productivity, while also being calming and peaceful.

Hudson Thomas is a painter currently working out of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. He works in oil and acrylic presented mainly on canvas or panel. His body of abstract work is inspired by individual experiences, often which he tries to turn from hardship to beauty. He turns to painting as an expression of his view because he is bewildered by the communion that painting provides. He sees visual art as a conversation between the picture and the artist, and thus the artist and the viewer. A conversation without language, geographical, or time barriers.

We recently participated in a Designer Showhouse for a historic home in Bayport, NY. We were asked to do the dining room, kitchen and laundry room. Due to the homes proximity to the ocean we chose ocean blues as our theme color. Although the room itself is a good size we did not want to overwhelm it with furniture and instead chose accent pieces that draw the viewers attention to the beautifully restored chair rail on the walls. The bamboo rug blends nicely with the restored floors, thus offering it protection in the table area but not detracting from the floors natural beauty. We chose to work with the existing chandelier in keeping with the style of the home. We changed the glass to shades on the chandelier to give the room softer feel. We thank Barbara Leogrande of Douglas Elliman for offering us the opportunity to work on this beautifully restored historic home.
