Four Points of View

Four Living rooms, four points of view. The earliest was done almost 20 years ago but, they all have one thing in common, none follow fad or fashion. The Philadelphia living room pictured above is in a large townhouse near Rittenhouse Square, it's spare and masculine with strong Regency furnishings and modern art. The Fortuny fixture gives it an exotic feel.

This Living Room is in a country house in Armonk. It retains a modern point of view while using antiques including the Indian carpet, an 18c Irish table, Jansen cocktail table and pair of Louis XV King wood tables. The tiger velvet and caned chairs are Robert Leighton.

This is a much more traditional room. It started with the Russian needlepoint rug and grew from there. The clients initially wanted a room people would be scared to go into but, I think over time they realized that what they really wanted was a warm country style house....warm and cozy but high style.

This is a modern take on a Living room albeit with a mid century twist. The whole thing is anchored by a large 19c Indian rug. Walls are leather with copper crowns. The artwork ranges from Pre-Raphaelite to Rauschenberg. The small round table in the corner is Frank Lloyd Wright and the curved and blue chairs came from flea markets. This room is almost 20 years old.....it still holds up.
