I have been working with a young couple in Bronxville for a while now on the house that architect, Lucio de Leo of Studio RAI designed for them. The decoration is finally coming together and here's a few pictures of a work still in progress, but on it's way to being a very stylish home.
In the front hall is an 18th c Italian console table from Christie's. There are portraits of the couple's children which give the space a colorful and personal touch.
Hall curtains are detailed with tape trim and Empire style fringe.
The living room is used more as a music room. The focal point is the piano with the reverse painted mercury glass lamp in front of a vintage Chinese export screen. There are lustrous floors so instead of a large carpet we opted to have cowhide rugs. The bay, where the piano was supposed to live now holds a Kagan sofa and a mod pair of painted chairs.
Looking into the Dining Room
There's a great Jansen sideboard with an 18th c mirror from Christie's and a rustic table and mismatched French chairs. The light fixtures are custom shades on simple iron bars.
Curtains reflected in one of a pair of Venetian mirrored obelisks, also from Christie's
The curtains are really lush. Three fabrics and a deep fringe really make these a standout, but they manage to be understated at the same time.
The clients commissioned artist Ric Best to make a portrait of the children which hangs over a Renaissance style bookcase. This picture is a little deceptive as the scale of the picture is 8'x3' and the bookcase is 7' tall.....
Curtains are of cream wool with hand applied Suzani fabric lined in orange silk. Here they are being installed.
A 17th c style table from Christies stands in front of the windows.....will post more pictures of this room when it's pulled together.
