Richard’s Roost | The mirrored cocktail table in Richard Sinnott’s living room is from Greenwich Living Antiques. Arranged around it are tufted slipper chairs covered in an animal-print fabric from Lee Industries and armchairs and ottomans upholstered in a cotton ikat diamond print by Kravet Couture. A pair of antique English console tables flanks the fireplace; the 1986 portrait of Sinnott on the mantel was done by Michael Shyka, a college roommate. The rug is a 1920s oushak.
Vintage Charms | Sinnott’s friend Cameron Prather made the bench cushion and pillows, as well as the pillows and suzani-fabric curtains in the den, which features a suite of vintage 1940s racecar paintings from an Ohio garage.

Pattern Play | The large farm table in the dining room is from Black Swan Antiques; the Louis XV–style chairs are upholstered in a Schumacher linen. Cameron Prather made the curtains from vintage tea towels.
Upstairs Oases | The nickel-plated Irvington bed in the master bedroom is from “that woman Martha Stewart,” Sinnott says dryly.
