In the foyer, a custom Hickory Chair settee upholstered in contrasting Lee Sofa velvets is complemented by walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White. The pendant is from Circa Lighting; and the black and cream cowhide rug is from Madisons Inc.
Gemes deftly divided the rectangular living room into two separate seating areas. Garden stools from Mecox Garden flank an O’Henry House sofa through John Rosselli & Associates, which is upholstered in a Thibault fabric. The coffee table is through Highland House, and the rugs are through Merida. Custom draperies are crafted from a Romo fabric.
At one end of the living room, an abstract painting by Katy Ferrarone from Southport Galleries hangs above a gold-legged cabinet from Made Goods; Hickory Chair armchairs wear a Zimmer + Rohde fabric.
Bar stools through Century Furniture wearing a Donghia fabric provide seating at the stainless-steel topped island.
Roman shades in a Zimmer + Rohde fabric complement the Old World Weavers fabric on the banquette cushions. The kitchen table is from RH; the chandelier is from Solaria. Jamie Young white vases fill a corner cabinet.
