the sound of stone crunching underfoot.” Prices

Thomas O’Brien “Benjamin
Moore’s Winter
White has a cool
gray quality—
perfect with stone
and metal
inishes.”
Vicente Wolf
“The shade I
designed for PPG
Paints [1001-1]
has no tint, so it’s
a great neutral-
izer, letting the
architecture shine
through.”
Richard Hallberg
“Cloud White
from Benjamin
Moore is modern
and bright but
doesn’t read blue,
which can happen
with chilly tones.”
Mary Douglas Drysdale “Sherwin-
Williams’s Classic
Light Buff tames
the intensity of
stainless steel.”
Nancy Braithwaite
“Pearly Gates by

cramped space
feel larger.”

the modern trousseau JANE SCOTT HODGES
ON CONTEMPORARY
ESSENTIALS
The trousseau has evolved since
Emily Post advised keeping four
dozen plain damask tablecloths on
hand (among many other elements)
in 1922. “Linens are part of the
decor,” says Hodges, owner of haute
purveyor Leontine Linens. “Don’t
get stuck with traditional white-on-
white.” Think bold colors, large-scale
monograms, and a healthy mix of
patterns. “It’s like getting dressed.
Everything shouldn’t always match.”
