Strong or subtle, these shades have one thing in common—you’ll never get tired of them.
Timeless Colors
Antique White 14-31
PrATT & LAmBErT
“Use this if you have to paint a room quickly and don’t know what to do. It’s a home-run color—a dirty celadon that has been in the line forever. My mother, who was also a decorator, loved it. It works for any environment—modern or traditional, no problem—and with any color—blue, red, yellow, tangerine.” AthAlie Derse
CAribbeAn Azure
2059-20
BEnjAmIn mOOrE
“If you swept this color up from the deep sea into your favorite room, you’d join the rest of the world, who have used it in Chinese porcelain, Dutch delfware, and Por-tuguese tiles. I just came back from Lisbon’s famous tile museum, and on the same trip, I saw a kitchen in Paris painted this color. Try it with glossy black trim and a pearl-gray ceiling.”Whitney steWArt
MonuMent 17-4405
PAnTOnE UnIvErSE
“This steel gray, with a hint of blue, has a kind of strength and calm that feels very architectural, almost as if it were a material integral to the room rather than a paint color. When you’re surrounded by it, the efect is like an updated version of a traditional paneled room—but a lot less expen-sive. I would do it in high gloss so it glistens.”steven GAMbrel
skiMMinG stone 241
FArrOw & BALL
“It’s one of my all-time favorite colors, a warm gray that makes a room inviting yet still clean and crisp. It works with almost any scheme, but I like to use it with either gem tones or neutrals, such as creams, browns, and dark grays. I painted my own living room this color and afer all this time I still love it, which means a lot!”blAir hArris
White sMoke 26-2
PrATT & LAmBErT
“There’s something heav-enly about this pale blue. You see it in Renaissance paintings or an early- morning sky. It would look equally great in a contem-porary setting with nubby Belgian linen, or in a more formal room with sparkling crystal sconces. Put a true white next to it and you’ll see how wonderful and subtle it really is.”PAul sherrill
triAnon rl4037
rALPH LAUrEn PAInT
“This is like that feeting blush of pink in the sky before the sun sets. It’s not what instantly comes to mind for a library, but I wanted to counter the room’s inherent masculinity. Pink is warm and atmospheric, and it makes dark antique furniture look ravishingly beautiful. It’s not an assertive color. It’s demure, which gives it longevity.” Jeffrey bilhuber

DKC-36
DOnALD KAUFmAn COLOr
“I tend to prefer more com-plex, layered tones, and this fts the bill. Lavender is the only color that’s both warm and cool, and this particu-lar shade is like quicksilver. It changes and evolves all day long. It’s cheery in the morning, restful and calm in the afernoon, and sexy in the evening’s low light.” Oliver M. Furth
City ChiC Ci 51
VALSpAr
“This taupe is efortlessly chic. It reminds me of a warm stone color, some-thing you’d see on the walls at the Louvre. Mixed with crisp Parisian black and ivory, it’s truly a timeless combination. It would look especially stunning with gold or brass accents.”erinn valenCiCh
reCtOry reD 217
FArrOw & BALL
“Red lipstick, red dresses, red walls—fabulous! Red makes you feel alive. It instills confdence. And there’s another reason people really like to sit in red rooms—they’re cozy. If you’re afraid to do the whole thing, just start with one wall. Even one shot of red will have tremen-dous impact.”MarCy MastersOn
MahOgany 36
FArrOw & BALL
“This is a rich, dramatic, yet relaxed dark chocolate that has a ton of depth. Many people are concerned about using dark colors on walls, but I fnd that they create such warmth in a room—somehow you feel enveloped in the best way.” annette english
repOse gray sW 7015
SHErwIn-wILLIAmS
“I’m not one for big pops of paint color, aside from the occasional bright front door. I prefer something more soothing, like this nice, true gray. Not too dark and not too light, it’s classic, clean, and beautiful. It works with just about anything—green, blue, yellow—and would look great in any room of the house.”ryan BrOWn
seCret garDen sW 6181
SHErwIn-wILLIAmS
“This classic hunter green feels like a color I’ve known my entire life—in the leaves of a magnolia tree, a sprig of fresh-cut basil, or my favorite fannel shirt in the second grade. In a Minnesota farmhouse kitchen, it has a comforting familiar-ity that evokes a sense of home. It’s a color with soul, and that never goes out of style.”JeFF anDreWs

Skirting the IssueFour top designers display the arresting beauty—and down-to-earth practicality—of the skirted table.
1. In a stone-foored entry, Alex Papachristidis
deployed a sumptuous paneled covering with rich
fringe to “sofen up” the space. 2. Alessandra
Branca layered cloths on a bedside table for a crisp
yet relaxed look. 3. In a twist on the conventional
console, Phoebe Howard used a
rectangular skirted piece in a
back hallway—easy-to-access
boots and dog leashes get stashed
beneath. 4. Benjamin Dhong
turned to a dramatically draped
table to anchor a space and focus
the eye. “It acts like an elegant
pedestal in the room,” he says.

Serving Up HistoryActor Bryan Batt, of Mad Men fame, celebrates his native New Orleans with a series of exquisite trays.
When Bryan Batt and his partner opened their beloved boutique,
Hazelnut, on New Orleans’s Magazine Street in 2002, it instantly
became a de rigueur stop for shoppers and decorators looking to cap-
ture the Crescent City’s inimitable style. Among the wares are an
ever-expanding collection of unique trays, edged in gold leaf and
decoupaged with historic images, which Batt designs exclusively for
the shop. The Tableau tray (above right) is based on a 19th-century
engraving of a Carnival ball Batt bought when he was in seventh
grade (“My frst antique,” he says). He unearthed the print for Map of
New Orleans (lef) at a vintage shop in the French Quarter. The trays,
all numbered, are food-safe, but they’re also pretty enough to simply
hang on a wall. From $90 each. hazelnutneworleans.com

A vibrAnt room

mond, Virginia, wanted a space to entertain
that didn’t feel stufy. Pyne struck a balance
between formal and youthful by splashing the
room in an exuberant Zofany foral fabric
crisply tailored with Samuel & Sons fringe and
button tufing. The owners bought the glass
chandelier during a memorable vacation in
Venice. “Seeing something you love every day
makes you happy,” Pyne says.

on wallpaper“Wallpaper is a great solution to lots
of challenges,” says decorator Meg
Braf. “It’s one of the most useful
tools we designers have in our bag of
tricks. It can bring warmth and
detail to an otherwise drab room and
transform a cavernous space into an
intimate retreat. It’s an extra decora-
tive layer. And you don’t need to paper
an entire room or limit yourself to
just walls. Put it on the ceiling or
behind the shelves of a bookcase for
an unexpected moment.”
The possibilities with wallpapers are endless. Use your imagination and have fun with them!
“Papers can add visual interest and still be neutral. This one, from Cole & Son, has a subtle pattern that’s great on its own, but you could also hang art on it.”
“A powder room is a great place to make a big wallpaper statement. This one, from Quadrille, has pizzazz and wraps itself around you.”
“I’m in love with midcentury patterns, and I have been reviving designs from the archives of the Philip Graf wallpaper company. The small scale of Armenoville Sidewall [top] makes it incredibly versatile. Blenheim is a modern take on damask.”
“In a bedroom with very high ceilings, a wallpaper with a Philip Graf pattern in a large vertical repeat helps tame the fairly vast space.”
“For a library in a city apartment with bare Sheetrock walls and not that many bookshelves, I chose a dramatic black grass cloth. The texture of the grass cloth warms up the room and creates more depth than painting, glazing, or even lacquering the walls would have.”
“Patterned wallpaper can even out awkward angles in a room and make a quirky space feel more cohesive.” P

Could you have a
type of Chronic
Dry Eye disease?If you use artif cial tears often, ask
your eye doctor to screen you for
Chronic Dry Eye caused by reduced
tear production due to inf ammation.
For Chronic Dry Eye disease caused
by reduced tear production due to
inf ammation, you can use artif cial tears
for temporary relief, but they cannot help
you make more of your own tears. Only
continued use of RESTASIS® (Cyclosporine
Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05% twice a day,
every day, can help you make your own
tears. Individual results may vary.
Approved Use
RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion helps
increase your eyes’ natural ability to
produce tears, which may be reduced
by inf ammation due to Chronic Dry Eye.
RESTASIS® did not increase tear production
in patients using anti-inf ammatory eye
drops or tear duct plugs.
Important Safety Information
Do not use RESTASIS® Ophthalmic
Emulsion if you are allergic to any of
the ingredients. To help avoid eye injury
and contamination, do not touch the
vial tip to your eye or other surfaces.
RESTASIS® should not be used while
wearing contact lenses. If contact lenses
are worn, they should be removed
prior to use of RESTASIS® and may be
reinserted after 15 minutes.
The most common side effect is a
temporary burning sensation. Other side
effects include eye redness, discharge,
watery eyes, eye pain, foreign body
sensation, itching, stinging, and
blurred vision.
You are encouraged to report negative
side effects of prescription drugs to the
FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch,
or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see next page for the Brief
Summary of the full Product Information.

RESTASIS® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05%BRIEF SUMMARY—PLEASE SEE THE RESTASIS® PACKAGE INSERT FOR FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION.INDICATIONS AND USAGERESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion is indicated to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular infammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Increased tear production was not seen in patients currently taking topical anti-infammatory drugs or using punctal plugs.CONTRAINDICATIONSRESTASIS® is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the formulation.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSPotential for Eye Injury and ContaminationTo avoid the potential for eye injury and contamination, be careful not to touch the vial tip to your eye or other surfaces.Use with Contact LensesRESTASIS® should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Patients with decreased tear production typically should not wear contact lenses. If contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to the administration of the emulsion. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion.ADVERSE REACTIONSClinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not refect the rates observed in practice.In clinical trials, the most common adverse reaction following the use of RESTASIS® was ocular burning (17%).Other reactions reported in 1% to 5% of patients included conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, epiphora, eye pain, foreign body sensation, pruritus, stinging, and visual disturbance (most often blurring).Post-marketing ExperienceThe following adverse reactions have been identifed during post approval use of RESTASIS®. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Reported reactions have included: hypersensitivity (including eye swelling, urticaria, rare cases of severe angioedema, face swelling, tongue swelling, pharyngeal edema, and dyspnea); and superfcial injury of the eye (from the vial tip touching the eye during administration). USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSPregnancyTeratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category CAdverse effects were seen in reproduction studies in rats and rabbits only at dose levels toxic to dams. At toxic doses (rats at 30 mg/kg/day and rabbits at 100 mg/kg/day), cyclosporine oral solution, USP, was embryo- and fetotoxic as indicated by increased pre- and postnatal mortality and reduced fetal weight together with related skeletal retardations. These doses are 5,000 and 32,000 times greater (normalized to body surface area), respectively, than the daily human dose of one drop (approximately 28 mcL) of 0.05% RESTASIS® twice daily into each eye of a 60 kg person (0.001 mg/kg/day), assuming that the entire dose is absorbed. No evidence of embryofetal toxicity was observed in rats or rabbits receiving cyclosporine at oral doses up to 17 mg/kg/day or 30 mg/kg/day, respectively, during organogenesis. These doses in rats and rabbits are approximately 3,000 and 10,000 times greater (normalized to body surface area), respectively, than the daily human dose.Offspring of rats receiving a 45 mg/kg/day oral dose of cyclosporine from Day 15 of pregnancy until Day 21 postpartum, a maternally toxic level, exhibited an increase in postnatal mortality; this dose is 7,000 times greater than the daily human topical dose (0.001 mg/kg/day) normalized to body surface area assuming that the entire dose is absorbed. No adverse events were observed at oral doses up to 15 mg/kg/day (2,000 times greater than the daily human dose).There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of RESTASIS® in pregnant women. RESTASIS®
should be administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Nursing MothersCyclosporine is known to be excreted in human milk following systemic administration, but excretion in human milk after topical treatment has not been investigated. Although blood concentrations are undetectable after topical administration of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion, caution should be exercised when RESTASIS® is administered to a nursing woman.Pediatric UseThe safety and effcacy of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion have not been established in pediatric patients below the age of 16.Geriatric UseNo overall difference in safety or effectiveness has been observed between elderly and younger patients.NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGYCarcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis: Systemic carcinogenicity studies were carried out in male and female mice and rats. In the 78-week oral (diet) mouse study, at doses of 1, 4, and 16 mg/kg/day, evidence of a statistically signifcant trend was found for lymphocytic lymphomas in females, and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in mid-dose males signifcantly exceeded the control value.In the 24-month oral (diet) rat study, conducted at 0.5, 2, and 8 mg/kg/day, pancreatic islet cell adenomas signifcantly exceeded the control rate in the low dose level. The hepatocellular carcinomas and pancreatic islet cell adenomas were not dose related. The low doses in mice and rats are approximately 80 times greater (normalized to body surface area) than the daily human dose of one drop (approximately 28 mcL) of 0.05% RESTASIS® twice daily into each eye of a 60 kg person (0.001 mg/kg/day), assuming that the entire dose is absorbed. Mutagenesis: Cyclosporine has not been found to be mutagenic/genotoxic in the Ames Test, the V79-HGPRT Test, the micronucleus test in mice and Chinese hamsters, the chromosome-aberration tests in Chinese hamster bone-marrow, the mouse dominant lethal assay, and the DNA-repair test in sperm from treated mice. A study analyzing sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction by cyclosporine using human lymphocytes in vitro gave indication of a positive effect (i.e., induction of SCE).Impairment of Fertility: No impairment in fertility was demonstrated in studies in male and female rats receiving oral doses of cyclosporine up to 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 2,000 times the human daily dose of 0.001 mg/kg/day normalized to body surface area) for 9 weeks (male) and 2 weeks (female) prior to mating.PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATIONHandling the ContainerAdvise patients to not allow the tip of the vial to touch the eye or any surface, as this may contaminate the emulsion. To avoid the potential for injury to the eye, advise patients to not touch the vial tip to their eye.Use with Contact LensesRESTASIS® should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Patients with decreased tear production typically should not wear contact lenses. Advise patients that if contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to the administration of the emulsion. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration of RESTASIS® ophthalmic emulsion.AdministrationAdvise patients that the emulsion from one individual single-use vial is to be used immediately after opening for administration to one or both eyes, and the remaining contents should be discarded immediately after administration.Rx Only

Master BedrooMtHE CHallEngE “It’s more than just where you sleep. Create a stylish and functional space that’s a haven any time of day!”
1. unify windows of varying HEigHts
“Some rooms with vaulted ceilings have windows that difer dramatically in size on the same wall, which can make hanging window treatments tricky. But it’s OK to hang each drape at a diferent height! Give them a cohesive look by doing a bold color-blocked border of the same width across all the bottoms.”
2. CrEatE a sEnsE of airinEss “If the frame of a window awkwardly abuts an adjacent wall, you don’t have to hang a panel in that corner. Not only can that feel crowded, you’ll lose natural light and part of the view. And when a panel is pulled open, let it ‘stack’ over the window trim instead of the actual glass. This gives the illusion that your windows are larger than they are, as if there’s more window behind the fabric.”
3. inCludE an Extra plaCE to Curl up
“A small sofa at the foot of your bed is great if your kids love to pile into your room to watch TV, or if you or your spouse likes to stay up late afer the other one is asleep. It also adds another cozy spot for reading or working on your computer. Leave at least 30 inches in front of it for walk-through space. For an ottoman that can be moved around easily, choose one on casters.” p

W H e t H e r i t ’ s t H e s oBe r i ng winter
weather, which leads us to cozy up indoors,
or simply the beginning of a new year, now is a
great time—perhaps the perfect time—to take
a clear-eyed, critical look at how you’re living in
the quarters you call home. as americans, we
inherently believe in the power of a fresh start;
a good fashion or beauty makeover can work
wonders when the mood strikes. Why, then, are
so many people making do with less than their
best when it comes to their home? the feel of
a fabric, the glow of a lamp, an inviting chair,
myriad colors and patterns—the range of
resources for dressing up houses is greater and
more accessible than ever, at every price point.
While interior decorating may not seem like the
most pressing matter at hand, home is where so
much of life is lived. it’s where we wake up to face
the world, where all sorts of dramas unfold, and
where we return at the end of the day seeking rest
and renewal. for 118 years, House Beautiful has
believed that the way the inside of a house looks
matters, in every aspect of life, because there is
undeniable joy in the experience of a beautiful
room. the good news for 2015 is that it’s never too
late—or too early—to start feathering your nest.

“
PhiliP Gorrivan: I love color. I love pattern.
And ceilings represent a lot of unused
space in a house. When you put wallpaper
up there, it draws your eye and you get
the full impact of the pattern, without art
or mirrors or anything else on top. People
are afraid it will make the ceiling feel lower,
but I think it accentuates the height.
Wallpaper also tells a story.
Exactly, and narrative is really important
to me. I believe that rooms should tell a
visual story, and wallpaper is one layer,
along with furniture and art. The house
is a 1920s Colonial, and the client was very
open to trying new things to freshen it up.
She collects Scandinavian furniture and
already had those creamy white Gustavian
chairs in the dining room. I found that
Fornasetti leaf paper and had this vision
of dining in a snowy forest—and the antler
chandelier just adds to the atmosphere.
how does it feel to be in that bedroom
papered in gray clouds?
As if a storm is coming and the clouds are
rushing past. That’s got to be my favorite
wallpaper in the house. It’s very dramatic,
with a lot of motion, and you have to have
it on the ceiling to get the full efect.
all the shades of gray remind me of grisaille.
You’re right. It’s like a contemporary ver-
sion of one of those hand-painted grisaille
murals in a French château. This is the
older son’s room. He’s away at school, so it
also serves as the guest room.
it’s magical—are you indoors or out?
A lot of the papers have that indoor-outdoor
quality, to bring you closer to nature
and remind you that you’re in the country.
Why did you paint the living room brown?
Because it feels incredibly cozy on a snowy
day with the freplace blazing. I knew
this would be a winter room, because most
of their entertaining is done outdoors
during the summer. The brown is very rich
and then the trim is all white, so you get
the power of contrast.
The sofa adds more contrast, covered in that
green-and-white print.
That’s a Josef Frank fabric. I love it because
it’s bright and verdant. It’s the ultimate
country fabric. Two of the throw pillows
are covered in another Josef Frank fabric.
It doesn’t bother me to see two strong pat-
terns together—they almost neutralize
each other. Then you have that whole wall
of pictures above.
Where did you start, in hanging that?
With those three pieces in the middle.
Then we worked out from there. A lot of
switching went on. We spent the better
part of a day with it all spread out on the
foor, like a puzzle.
it’s a very interesting assortment—just like
the furniture in this room.
The furniture was another puzzle—taking
the things she owned and ftting them into
this house. Do you know why this is such a
good room? Because it’s flled with things
the homeowners love and have collected
over the years. The African masks were
bought on their travels. The grandfather
clock is English and belonged to her great-
grandfather. That’s what gives a room soul,
and it’s hard to create that from scratch.
is there any rhyme or reason to the mix?
I suppose you could say it all balances out.
From the 18th-century Danish chair to the
Biedermeier sofa to the Mies van der Rohe
daybed, you’re spanning hundreds of years
of decorative arts. I ofen like to put a
modern piece next to an antique, because
the contrast makes both stand out.
Every room in this house is so diferent.
I like having options. A house can tell many
stories. It’s nice to go from one room to the
next and have a diferent experience. Every
room is a destination, and if you get tired of
one, just go into another!
Do you know
why this is such a
good room?
Because it’s filled
with things the
homeowners love.
That’s what gives
a room soul.”
You’re fearless. such
bold wallpaper—and not
onlY on the walls but
also the ceilings!

RichaRd Keith Langham: Afer 30 years as a
traditionalist, I did fnd it exciting to break
out and do something fresh and diferent.
It’s such a departure from the more layered,
complicated rooms I usually put together.
Designing a mod, hip, spare interior really
ignited my creativity—so maybe I can jug-
gle both from now on!
in one snazzy space, you’ve encapsulated
the spirit of miami Beach.
It does speak to the energy and beat here,
bringing together the city’s glitzy, groovy
vibe. I wouldn’t have done anything like
this anywhere else, but it’s what was called
for. The apartment is in the Setai, a con-
temporary glass tower in the heart of South
Beach, and white, airy, and streamlined
is what my clients, Blaine Trump and Steve
Simon, wanted.
there are so many glossy surfaces—the
walls, foor, mirrors, and metal.
Yes, they’re very much of-the-moment
Miami. They refect the dazzling light, and
the mirrors also refect the view. The lac-
quered walls and ceiling and the porcelain
foor tiles echo the white sand on the beach
and impart simplicity to that big, open
living space. Furnishings are spare, which
further emphasizes a lightness. This
sparkling white background fatters
everything we put in the room. Each piece
becomes a sculptural presence. And every-
thing just seems to foat in space—the
shell is like a white cloud. It has an ethe-
real quality that’s anchored by sporadic
splashes of color. A lot of people gasp when
they step through the front door.
What was your reaction the frst time you
stepped through?
I’m sure I gasped too, but for a diferent
reason! And when Blaine and Steve frst
looked at the space, they thought, This will
never work, let’s not even bother.
Why the reversal?
Mostly because of the view. It’s astonish-
ing. The apartment wraps around a cor-
ner on a high foor—you see the clear aqua
ocean for miles, and you see the Miami
skyline, which is magical at night. Blaine
called and asked me to come down and take
a look. She said, ‘Now don’t get nervous, but
I have to warn you—it’s a train wreck.’
Really? that bad?
The atmosphere was sort of weighty,
almost brooding. The whole place was a mud-
dle of dirty, earthy colors—dark browns,
taupe, dull beige—and a jumble of stuf,
like heavy carved-teak furniture, potted
trees, and big Buddha heads. All the foors
were teak, and there were two teak-clad
columns cutting up the living room. There
was a border of black river rocks around
the perimeter, a dropped ceiling with can-
ister lights, and a bedroom and bath that
interrupted the panoramic vista.
this couldn’t be a more dramatic about-face.
It was a sweeping gut job. We took down
walls, eliminating that bedroom and bath
to open up the choppy foor plan and the
view, and enlarged the master bedroom.
We heightened the ceilings for more airi-
ness and added moldings that related to
Art Deco style. The teak fooring was
replaced with acres of porcelain tile. The
tiles are huge, three feet square, so you
don’t have many grout lines—you get a
beautiful, shiny expanse of white that looks
like marble. That alone became a whole new
foundation for creating these sleek, sim-
ple rooms. Except for one discreet white cot-
ton rug to anchor the main seating area, we
lef the foor bare, because we wanted as
much of that refective surface as we could
get, and also because the tile is so cool under-
foot. And I should add that white, in its way,
has a cooling efect too. It’s a good color
for hot, sunny Miami and especially for this
apartment, with all the light pouring in.
But then you jazzed it up with these vibrant
color splashes.
They’re luscious tropical colors that are
indigenous to South Florida—turquoise,
aqua, coral, kiwi green. Plus, they relate
to these divine artworks by Howard Hodg-
kin, Anish Kapoor, and Damien Hirst. We
went sofer in the master bedroom, using
gray blues that are like the sky on a misty
day. It’s very dreamy and restful.
the apartment that would never work
worked afer all.
There’s a happy, leave-your-cares-behind
mood about it that embraces the vital-
ity and easygoing attitude of Miami. It’s
glamorous, romantic, and, most of all,
uplifing. Blaine told me that every time
she walks in, her shoulders drop and she
breaks into a smile.
Does this ultrasleek
apartment mark the
beginning of a new
chapter in your
Decorating career?

CElERiE KEmblE: Yes, this is where the lumi-
nous, dark, and deep coexist. Because the
greatest challenge in here was lack of light,
every surface is refective. The walls are
wrapped in a lacquered strié that’s as shiny
as nail polish; the ceiling, chandelier, and
table are silver-leaf; and the big Venetian
mirror above the console refects the chan-
delier, doubling its twinkle. At night,
the room glistens like moonlight on a lake.
The living room, by contrast, has an inviting
natural glow.
CK: It’s flled with elements from the natu-
ral world—pen shell on the cofee table,
bone mirrors, snakeskin-patterned leather
on the ottomans, parchment accessories,
a cowhide rug. And the silk wallcovering
has a lovely, sof luster. We started with
the gilt-flecked painting that suggests
wild leaves, which to us seemed glamor-
ously lighthearted. We wanted the room
to be pretty and glittery, but also to feel
friendly and easy. All the fabrics are luxe
but durable, and the furniture begs you to
put your feet up, have a chat, and be merry.
What was the frst order of business when
you renovated?
CAROlinE iRVin: Tackling the layout of the
apartment. It was very strange, a tunnel-
like series of rooms with transom doors
that felt estranged from one another.
We needed to open it so that the rooms
fowed into each other. The worst aspect
was a huge hallway that fed of the foyer,
consuming an unnecessary amount of
square footage. It ran along the front wall
of a dreary space that had an L-shaped
kitchenette bordering two tiny bedrooms
and a bathroom.
How did you deal with it?
Ci: We took down that long wall, appropri-
ated the hallway, and turned it into the
heart of the house—a spacious kitchen that
also serves as a family room. The large-
scale trellis pattern on the foor really
helped revitalize and unify the space. And
we widened the entry to the living room.
That allowed the light from the window to
pour into the kitchen.
CK: We also widened the dining room
entry. So many people never use their din-
ing rooms, and seeing directly into this
one from the foyer made it feel like a vital
part of the apartment, a destination. These
changes made the apartment feel bigger
and much more welcoming. Openness,
inclusiveness, and playfulness were the
mission and guiding forces for our clients.
Why were those things so important to them?
CK: They’re in their 30s with two young
children, and what they wanted most was
for every area to be a family zone, with
nothing of-limits to their kids. We mostly
worked with the wife. Her husband wasn’t
concerned with the details—all he wanted
was for her to have the home of her dreams,
and the apartment very much refects her
open-armed, efervescent energy.
He had no particular requests?
Ci: Just one: The sofa across from the TV in
the living room had to be comfy and big
enough for the whole family. There isn’t a
single piece of furniture that came with
them from their previous life, and we had a
hard time prying him away from a huge
sectional that he loved. His eyes misted up
at the thought of losing it.
Has he gotten over the loss?
CK: He never looked back. They’re all thrilled
with how quickly they nestled into a place
where everything was new to them. This
apartment feels like them—although I
could easily and happily live here myself!

John Peixinho: What really attracted me was the
wonderful location in Middletown, with a brook, old
stone walls, and two beaches nearby. It’s like this
other part of Newport that wasn’t associated with
Beaux Arts mansions—the small summer houses
out in the country.
Did you worry that moving into an early American icon
might feel like camping out at old Sturbridge Village?
This was not a curatorial restoration. The school-
house was built in 1794 and Victorian-ized around
1880, but its one-room charm was erased in 1929,
when private owners converted it into a summer
place. A second foor was inserted under the eaves
in the 1980s, and some objectionable features got
added, like stained-glass windows and dark beams
screwed into the living room ceiling. I took them
out and tried to get things as close to the original as
possible, without re-creating an unlivable past.
So you transformed a no-nonsense classroom for
fdgety kids into an easygoing hangout for grown-ups?
I let three spots within the living room dictate
smaller groupings, where people can relax and chat.
There’s the area around the freplace, the weird
angle at the foot of the stairs, and the alcove for the
schoolmarm’s desk—centered between the girls’
and boys’ entrances—which has become a window
seat. In simple spaces that don’t have tremendous
architectural integrity, symmetry helps to create
order. My whole living room really revolves around
those two windows fanking the freplace. And I’ve
always been a fan of pairing table lamps on each
side of a mantel. They give of a cozy glow, even when
there’s no fre burning.
And you’ve balanced classic vase-lamp bases with a
quirky little Colonial Revival sconce here and there.
Like that captain’s-wheel light by the stairs? It’s just
the kind of thing Henry Sleeper might have used at
Beauport, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in the ’20s. I
love how kitschy but in good taste—well, for the most
part—that place is. It really has had an impact on my
appreciation of Americana.
Did your choice of traditional red siding afect your
indoor palette?
When I go home, I need to get away from a lot of color
and pattern. The burlap on the living room walls
is neutral, but it also reminds me of school bulletin
boards. The frst commission I ever did was a room
How did a former tHird-grade
teacHer—now newport’s gold-
star decorator—come to live

for Oatsie Charles, whose previous decorator, Tom
Hagerman, had covered the walls in burlap. That lef
its mark on me. Burlap gives texture, warmth, and
depth without making a huge statement that you can’t
undo or work around easily. The same goes for the
woven straw in my dining room. It spans the range
from casual to formal.
Plus it’s a terrifc backdrop for your salon-style hanging
of ink paintings. Who is the artist?
Van Day Truex, who’s much better known, of course,
as a designer. Houses all over Newport have at least
one painting by him, because 50 years ago, Truex was
friends with everybody’s grandmother or aunt. I’ve
admired him ever since I saw a house he did for him-
self in the South of France—bamboo furniture cov-
ered in rough cotton and bottles that had been turned
into lamps. It was smart, inviting, and cozy, but
totally clean and pure.
What links that modern aesthetic to antiques like your
Chippendale-era chairs?
Those are 18th-century Newport pieces. The cabinet-
makers here were mostly Quakers, so the propor-
tions and scale have an unembellished strength that
speaks to you in a diferent way than a fancy New
York side chair would.
And also speaks to the Yankee simplicity of your bed-
room upstairs. Do you ever pull the rope in the belfry?
Yes, usually I do it for company. First-time guests
can’t believe that the original bell is still there, and
that it sounds so good.
Right: Glazed French pottery gleams
in the light of a leaded-glass window
in the breakfast area. OppOsite: When
not on display in the kitchen hutch,
which still features its original milk
paint, Peixinho’s 18th- and 19th-
century Canton and nanking export
porcelain gets regular use at meals.

Above: Pupils entered the landmark Peabody School through separate doors for girls and boys. “The exterior appears much as it did in the early 20th century,” Peixinho says. He removed faux-Victorian gingerbread added about 20 years ago and “tweaked the 1980s paint color. The red had been too blue.” He opted instead for Benjamin Moore’s Country Redwood. below: Outside his barn, the designer sets the table on the porch he assembled from new tree-trunk columns and the roof of a tumbledown chicken coop.

Cabinets were removed to make way for a foor-to-ceiling window, and pale rif oak and silver fr were used in matte and glossy fnishes to refect the light. Then, in a new spin on the tradi-tional kitchen table, she extended the island to create an inviting place for the whole family to hang out.

With 10 restaurants,
three cookbooks, and several
national TV shows under his
belt, the James Beard Award–
winning chef is busy. But he
always makes time to cook at
home for family and friends.
“There’s something so soul-
ful about cooking for the peo-
ple you love and who are closest
to you,” Besh says. “My wife,
Jenifer, and I have four sons,
and one of the things I want
most for them to know is who
they are through the food and
people around them.
“Folks get intimidated by
entertaining, which is why
I keep things simple. Some-
times I’ll cook one of the dishes
I grew up on. Sometimes I’ll
go out on a limb and try some-
thing new. But I always prep as
much in advance as possible—
it cuts down on stress and lets
me focus on what’s ultimately
most important: creating
a great atmosphere for all my
guests to enjoy.
“I love bringing together
people who might not usually
cross paths. There’s so much
we can learn from one another
around the table. Communing
and literally breaking bread
builds connections and pulls
down boundaries. Home is a
refuge, a sanctuary, and food
is a part of that.”
Welcome, John!The Louisiana native kicks of his House Beautiful column with some thoughts on entertaining and a cherished family recipe.
Coat the chicken with four before
frying.
93H O U S E B E A U T I F U L
My Grandmother’s Fried Chicken“It’s the classic buttermilk batter that gives this fried chicken its crunchy texture. The batter should just barely adhere to the chicken, so make sure you give each piece a little shake to let some extra drop of before frying. My grandmother would put the lid on her pot afer the chicken went in the hot oil, and a kind of pressure-cooker thing would begin to happen, meaning the meat inside got to cook through while leaving the outside crispy.”
Yield: 6 servings
1 free-range organic chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 quart buttermilk
3 cups four
Canola oil
1. Season the chicken
pieces generously with
salt and pepper. In a
large bowl, soak the
chicken in the buttermilk
for at least 15 minutes.
The idea is that the
lactic acid tenderizes
the chicken. Sometimes
my grandmother
would even soak the
chicken overnight in
the fridge.
2. Season the four with
salt and pepper and
spread on a plate or in a
wide bowl. Dredge each
chicken piece in the sea-
soned four to coat well.
3. Heat about 1 inch of
the canola oil in a cast-
iron Dutch oven until it
reads 350˚F on a candy
thermometer. In small
batches, place a few
pieces of the chicken in the
oil at a time and fry for 6 to
8 minutes. Using a slotted
spoon, carefully turn over
each piece, then cover the
pot and cook for an addi-
tional 6 minutes. Drain
the fried chicken on paper
towels and salt well.

Belgian style, with its envel-
oping neutrals accented by
rustic woods, was the inspira-
tion for the new bathroom
in Susan Bednar Long’s 1800
Connecticut country house.
She chose honed limestone
for the counter, the shower
stall, and the foor because it
reminded her of creamy sand
and had a velvety touch. “It’s
porous, and maintenance can
be an issue, but it’s sealed so
that helps,” she explains. “I
have a silver tray on the vanity,
and that’s where I put my cofee
cup so it doesn’t leave a ring.”
The limestone tiles in
the shower measure 12 by
24 inches, rather than the
more common 12 by 12, so they
resemble slabs of stone. On
the foor, they alternate with
bands of Heartwood Natural
porcelain tile by Walker Zanger,
which looks remarkably like
limed wood but can stand up
to water. “I love the rhythm and
the crispness of stripes, and
the bold foor is a surprise,”
Long says. “It makes the room
feel modern.”
That creates a nice counter-
point to the old-fashioned fx-
tures, the Jacobean-style chair,
and the drop-leaf table, topped
with a lamp. “Lamplight is very
cozy and adds to the warmth as
soon as you walk in,” she says.
“I like to use real furniture in
a bathroom. It sofens all
the hard surfaces. Too many
built-ins turn me of. I want to
be unique and diferent.”
