FROM THE

Editor GREAT

and natural-ash ﬁnishes. It’s a testament to how well traditional can live for today. Of course, a house doesn’t have to be old to be great—or to have rich character. In Northern California, a couple who fell in love with the Cotswolds brought the beauty of the English countryside home, working with a talented design team to craft a new house that boasts an Old World attitude (page 78). With its thatched and slate roofs, half-timber and lath walls, turret, carved rafter tails, leaded glass, and reclaimed wood and stone ﬂoors, this place appears to be gently plucked from the pages of a fairy tale. Travel also inspired a family on the other side of the country who took inspiration from their globe-trotting to create a home that on the outside looks like classic 1929 Palm Beach, but on the inside pays homage to classic Mediterranean design and artisanship (page 98). Skilled craftspeople created hand-tooled leather and striéd Venetian plaster walls, elaborately cofered ceilings, and stately stone columns. The elegance, however, is easygoing, welcoming Yorkies on the sofa and teenagers bouncing beach balls across the lawn. These homes show that the best places combine beauty and function, character and sociability. They boast classic good looks while also having the grace to warmly welcome modern living. The greatest houses truly make everyone feel at home.

homes have a character, a personality all their own. They are individuals—multi-layered and unique— often with well-traveled, Old World sensibilities that make them standouts in a cookie-cutter world. Sometimes that classic vibe is ingrained over many decades, as is the case with a 1904 Tudor Revival home on the outskirts of Salt Lake City (page 108). Its new owner worked with a respectful design team that honored the home’s history while reinventing the house to live for today. “In the world of preservation, creating timeless architecture is the ultimate act of conservation,” homeowner Gordon Bowen says. A similar story played out in Detroit, where a young designer and a homeowner paired up to perpetuate the best of a 1939 Colonial Revival, while at the same time introducing fresh color and functionality that suits the family who lives there—including two juice-sipping, Big Wheel-riding little boys (page 88). Likewise, people-friendly features and 21st-century sociability guided designer Christopher Peacock’s renovation of the kitchen in a 1929 suburban Chicago home (page 68). Peacock updated the ﬂoor plan, transforming a warren of dark rooms into one lightﬁlled space, but he kept the character, furnishing the space with raised-panel-style cabinets in taupe-painted

THE INTERSECTION OF

FASHION + FUNCTION

hen it comes to our wardrobe, it’s important to be comfortable and at ease while also projecting our personal style. Whether it’s a chic but simple dress to take you from the office to a dinner date, or a great pair of heels that can be dressed up or down, functionality + style is the equation that always delivers. And the same philosophy can be applied to our homes. Think you have to sacrifice style and beauty if you want function? Think again, especially when it comes to a whole bathroom refresh. If you, like many homeowners, are feeling overwhelmed by out-of-date décor in your bath, but aren’t quite ready to commit to a complete remodel, you can still make a statement with simple, affordable upgrades to faucets, fixtures and complementary accessories.

The perfect example of fashion and function is Moen’s Wynford™ collection. Inspired by time-honored sensibilities, this modern take on traditional design sets Wynford apart. With faucets that feature an updated, clean look and high arc design, the Wynford Collection also offers coordinating accessories to give your bath an instant update, and transform even the most utilitarian towel ring into a thoughtfully-curated accent. With Moen’s innovative and versatile M-PACT® common valve system, the Wynford Collection faucets can be updated in the future without replacing any plumbing, so you can easily change up your style. To see how to add style to your home, visit Moen.com.

SMALL SPACES CALL FOR BIG ATTENTION TO DETAIL. In a room where tile and cabinetry take up valuable real estate, it’s the little things such as stylish towel bars, tank levers and shower corner baskets that truly elevate your bath.

A NEW APPROACH Coordinating fixtures and accessories is easier than you think. Moen’s “Complete Bath” with matching and complementary accessories takes the guesswork out of pulling your style story together. DIFFERENT FINISHES, DIFFERENT MOODS. Whether you’re looking for a sleek look with Chrome finish, or evoking a more traditional sensibility with Oil Rubbed Bronze, whatever you choose helps set the tone for overall style of your bath.

“Wynford™ is a relaxed traditional design: Elegance without fuss. The sweeping forms of handle hubs and spout coupled with the undercut at the bottom give the illusion of the faucet floating.” - Chris Gilbert, Moen Principal Designer

heerful and girly, the hue of orange sherbet might bring a pastel parfait to mind. Designers declare it delicious, but call for a bit of restraint. San Francisco-based designer Palmer Weiss suggests pairing orange sherbet and similar hues with grays and neutrals. “You don’t want it to turn too saccharine on you, so incorporate some cerused wood and earthy elements as a balance,” she says. “Avoid going too cutesy with lots of bright pastels. While this color reminds me of a delicious sorbet, you don’t want the whole gelato shop!” NYC designer Lindsey Coral Harper says this shade “is vivid yet warm and immediately makes me smile. But don’t use too much of it.” On a recent project, she painted antique chairs orange sherbet and covered the seats in a large-scale plaid. “It was very unexpected and just the punch the dining room needed to keep it from being too serious!”

curated CLASSIC UPDATE

h, the places you’ll see—all from the comfort of your dining table. Glimpses of other cultures were served, right along with dessert, beginning in the mid-1700s, when three Brits all had the same idea: to “transfer” an image from an engraved copperplate to an earthenware or bone china blank. Almost like a printing press for plates, the process sparked a craze. As the technique evolved, so did subject matter. Hunting scenes, idyllic pastorals, nature, ancient ruins, and grand architecture were common. Europe’s obsession with the Far East also spawned countless depictions of life in the exotic “Orient”— some accurate, others not so much. Today, mass-produced printed dinnerware is no longer made by transfer printing, but with decals. The colors and proportions might feel a bit more modern, but it’s still a picture book on a plate.

Our Designers Say… “Yorkshire Hedgerow Bunnies” by Caskata “I can imagine pairing this whimsical plate with a grouping of other black-and-white transferwares on a wall as an art installation.” —Meg White, Nashville

“Torre” by Christian Lacroix for Vista Alegre “I love the juxtaposition of stoic Arles monuments and architecture against playful, colorful butterﬂies. It reminds me of rebirth and second chances.” —Oliver Furth, Los Angeles

“Gilded Forest” by Marchesa for Lenox “The scale of the pattern makes it contemporary, and I love the gold contrast. ” —Sara Story, New York City

“Torquay” by Mottahedeh “This would be the perfect addition to a coastal retreat. I would pair it with spring green or lavender table linens and loads of hydrangeas.” —Annsley McAleer, Boston

“Le Grand Divertissement” by Rosenthal “I would decorate a dining room around this plate! Cornﬂower blue lacquer walls and a gold-leaf ceiling.” —Lilly Bunn, New York City

“Hybrid Ipazia” by Seletti “You can’t get more eclectic than this! Seletti’s mesmerizing combinations command attention with solid coordinates of any kind, which makes them easy to place in a fun yet sophisticated way.” —Ken Kehoe, Houston Clockwise from top left: Caskata Artisanal Home “Yorkshire Hedgerow Bunnies” plate.

curated SPOTLIGHT Global Craft Inspiration and artisanship from around the world map out compelling new design frontiers BY SALLY FINDER WEEPIE

JANUS ET CIE For Janice Feldman, president of outdoor furnishings icon JANUS et Cie, craftsmanship is key. “I’ve always loved things that require special skill, craft,” she says. “I like to celebrate that—to ﬁnd high-level craftspeople who can make pieces out of natural materials like no one else in this world can do.” That artisanship is evident in her oferings, which have been building excitement

with new pieces for interior use and a newly opened Australian showroom in Sydney. Feldman’s global view radiates from her recently expanded Kyoto line. “I love Japan and its clean design,” she says. “Like the kimono, these pieces are very pure and simple at first glance, but reveal sophisticated detail in the woven rattan patterns on seat backs and elegant tailoring on cushions, which are almost like dresses for the pieces.” The Kyoto lounge chair from JANUS et Cie is now available in five fresh finishes, including papyrus (top left), in addition to the original ebony (above right). Also new are side tables, including a square option (bottom left) in a gray wash finish, paired with a three-seat sofa. A two-seat version of the sofa is also available. All are for interior use.

NICOLE FULLER The Rug Company, a London-based maker and purveyor of luxurious, handmade ﬂoor coverings (at last count, they had 24 showrooms around the world), has added New York interior designer Nicole Fuller to its reservoir of high-end talents. Known for her love of layering, the award-winning Fuller seamlessly combined contemporary and traditional styles to create the striking “Farrah” rug. Weavers in Katmandu make the rug by hand from silk yarns and handspun Tibetan wool. The ﬁnished product is available in two colorways—gray and ruby. “Farrah was inspired by the bold ’60s-inspired graiti-printed fashion collections of Stephen Sprouse,” Fuller says. “The lines move in an organic way, and the bold scale is juxtaposed with the simplicity of a pared-down color palette.” —Ashley Hotham TH May 2016

Tucked away in an unassuming building in the Berkshires, textile designer Peter Fasano and his band of merrymakers have been turning out handcrafted fabrics for more than 25 years. Fasano’s most recent collection was inspired by a set of traditional Indian woodblocks he stumbled upon while searching for a Valentine’s Day present for his wife, Elizabeth Hamilton, also a fabric designer. “We didn’t actually use any of the woodblocks in the state they were in,” Fasano says. “Instead we collaged and massaged them, and then it’s almost like cooking. You keep working it until it rises.” From the five woodblocks he found, Fasano created 15 new patterns. Scrolls, paisleys, meandering florals, ogees, and leaves are a few of the jewels from his “test kitchen.” His hues are traditional. “I like to do things in colors that don’t have a clock on them—colors that you can live with for a long time.” —T.

SHIIR RUGS A hands-on passion for sumptuous fibers inspired Chicago-based interior designers Shea Soucie and Martin Horner to create SHIIR, an exquisite and extensive line of rugs that combine ancient weaving techniques with modern luxury. (SHIIR comes from the names of the five company founders, starting with Soucie and Horner.) “We’re all about fiber. It drives our designs,” Soucie says. “Fiber is explored and manipulated so we can see what its best qualities are, and then we design rugs to exploit those qualities—sheen, hand, texture, whatever.” Wool, cashmere, mohair, pashmina, and silk are woven to create rugs with what the designers call “roughluxe sensibility.” The duo partners with a Chicago rug purveyor whose relationships with weavers allow the designers to meet with artisans in Nepal and India. “We travel overseas to discuss innovative ways to push design,” Horner says. And push they do, ofering a vast range of designs to meet many tastes. —Amy Elbert TH May 2016

Nestled amid the Blue Ridge Mountains, George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, is America’s largest and perhaps most luxurious home. Built in 1895, the property boasts 250 rooms, a lush conservatory, and an awardwinning winery. Its architectural and decorative details have now sparked a collection of lighting, art, and accessories by Wildwood Lamps, which collaborated with Biltmore on 70-plus pieces. “Our goal was not to reproduce the estate’s antiquities but to develop relevant, trending items for today’s interiors,” says John Cunningham, Wildwood’s creative director. For example, a stone fountainhead inspired the gold-leafed “Imperial Dragon” lamp, while the “Heirloom” lamp’s oak-finished base mimics the Billiard Room door panels.

isitors to the Big Easy should be eternally grateful that Frances and Rodney Smith found their calling. As design enthusiasts, antiques dealers, and hoteliers, the couple has passionately and painstakingly preserved New Orleans’s Soniat House hotel—a beloved institution in the city’s French Quarter—for more than 30 years. The classic New Orleans red-brick building, complete with intricate cast-iron balconies, courtyards ﬁlled with lush plantings, and original architectural details, is arguably as much a part of the city as beignets, Mardi Gras, and jazz. After years of traveling the world on the prowl for the perfect boutique hotel, Frances and Rodney serendipitously struck gold in their own backyard. In 1982, the Louisiana natives purchased and set about restoring a group of adjoining Creole townhouses TH May 2016

built in the 1830s by plantation owner Joseph Soniat Dufossat and his son, Robert. Keen to keep the hotel modern and relevant, the Smiths recently tackled a new round of guest room renovations. And while suites have been updated, they still blend seamlessly with the rest of the historic property. Each of the 31 guest rooms is unique, elegantly appointed with luxurious fabrics and French and English antiques handpicked by Rodney, who also owns Soniat House Antique Galleries. While vintage furnishings may set the stage, the hotel’s reputation hinges on its Southern hospitality. (Don’t be surprised to be personally greeted by Frances or Rodney.) And don’t miss breakfast. Their homemade buttermilk biscuits with strawberry preserves and French café au lait are celebrities in their own right.

All Americana There’s now more Revolutionary design on permanent display than ever before in the Midwest

hen the Milwaukee Art Museum recently unveiled the $34 million expansion of its permanent collection, five new American decorative arts galleries also made their debut. And they may be game-changers for getting a younger generation interested in classic design. The Chipstone galleries, ﬁlled with treasures from the Chipstone Foundation, contain some of the nation’s ﬁnest early American furnishings, a trove previously known primarily to insiders. Thomas Jayne, the renowned decorator with a special talent for making old objects sing in today’s interiors, says the collection will “remind us of the genius and purity of American design—and that’s paramount.” The new exhibits are not just the same old brown chairs. In the NEO gallery, contemporary artists riff on old furniture forms. In The Dave Project, the soulful work of enslaved potter David Drake honors the little-seen achievements of early African-American artists. In Mrs. M.____’s Cabinet, disparate objects from across eras

come together in a display that envisions the belongings of a grand 19th-century lady who has collected them and placed them lovingly in her mansion. “Sometimes museums set up a false dualism: You can do the traditional curating, or you can talk down to audiences that are less familiar,” says Jonathan Prown, Chipstone’s director. “We say no, you can do highly intelligent programming that appeals to all ages.” TH May 2016

Along those lines, the foundation is surely the only one in its class trumpeting that even its establishing patrons, Stanley and Polly Stone, have been duped into buying phony antiques. Chipstone has exhibited these fakes in an efort to educate people on the delicate diferences between craftsmen and hucksters. The new galleries also serve as a reminder that history is something we can happily live with. In fact, there’s never been a better time to shop for bold antiques. For instance, a set of four swooping, continuous-arm Windsor chairs in licorice black made around 1800 recently sold for $1,750 at Sotheby’s—a steal compared to some prices for contemporary furniture. Antiques have had a rough ride as of late, but now “young people looking at American decorative arts are seeing them with fresh eyes,” says Jayne. “They didn’t grow up with Colonial Williamsburg reproductions. If you haven’t been seeing these your whole life—boy, do they make an impression.”

Host with the Most Artist Hunt Slonem loves to entertain at his historic house on the bayou WRITTEN BY TED LOOS PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARCO RICCA AND COLLEEN DUFFLEY PRODUCED BY DORIS ATHINEOS

eople from all over cherish the invitation to visit Albania, artist Hunt Slonem’s circa-1850 plantation house situated deep in the Louisiana bayou. I was lucky enough to be one of them recently when 20 guests gathered for dinner—some of us for a sleepover—at the elegant Greek Revival home near the small community of Jeanerette. Live oaks with dangling tendrils swaying in the breeze on the well-tended grounds set the scene for arriving guests. A massive ﬂoating, circular stairway in the center hall greeted us inside the 12,000-square-foot home ﬁlled with portraits and choice 19th-century antiques.

We didn’t yet know the house may well be haunted—something we learned only after we had picked our guest rooms. Nonetheless, we were in for a meal and a stay we all deemed extraordinary. The guest list equaled the home’s pedigree. One of the revelers founded his own museum—Mitchell “Micky” Wolfson, of Miami’s eclectic Wolfsonian. “This house is legendary,” said Wolfson as he walked in. Also on hand was Ashton Hawkins, former special counsel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a longtime conﬁdante of New York’s top collectors, plus Slonem’s dear friend Angèle Parlange, member of a prominent old Louisiana family.

Albania, about two hours from New Orleans, is actually Slonem’s second plantation, the other being Lakeside in Pointe Coupee Parish. “That one really goes on forever,” Slonem says, which makes the mind reel. The gregarious, energetic artist, nominally based in Manhattan, has three more historic houses, including the Woolworth mansion in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It’s safe to say he’s from the “more is more” school of thought. “People always ask, ‘Why do you have two plantations?’ ” Slonem told me, setting up a practiced line. “Because I can’t aford 10.” In keeping with his lifestyle, his art takes profusion and abundance as its ➤

Artist Hunt Slonem pauses on the spectacular spiral staircase that winds up three stories in his Louisiana plantation home called Albania. He frequently entertains visitors who marvel at both his home and his artwork displayed there. TH May 2016

I FIND THESE AQUAS ARE LIKE ICE CUBES. THEY DON’T WARM UP THE SPACE. —Hunt Slonem subjects. Slonem, 64, paints colorful, impressionistic canvases filled with multiple bunnies, butterflies, parrots—you name it. And his Warhol-inspired work has catapulted him into the collections of 120 of the world’s top museums. His own canvases are interspersed throughout Albania. He loves painting the slender arm of the Bayou Teche waterway that’s right behind the house. “Hunt is just as interested in historical portraits and history as in his own work,” confided Parlange, who met Slonem after he bought Lakeside, located near her family’s Parlange plantation, where she grew up. “I’m convinced it informs his art and his originality.”

Slonem has deep family roots in the South. “This is sugar country,” he says, recounting the history and fortunes of the Grevemberg family, who built Albania. He bought it in 1996 from an elderly widow who firmly held that it was haunted. “It’s everything I ever wanted,” he said, gesturing toward one of its treasures—an Egyptian marble mantel in the study. Slonem has been restoring the home for almost 20 years, but his primary interest seems to be filling it with prized finds. His friend Beth Fuller, a dinner guest from Baton Rouge, says of Slonem’s neverending antiquing: “He can scan a room and immediately hit on the one quality thing.”

Notably, Slonem purchased some 85 pieces of Gothic Revival objects, many of them chairs, from the collection of Lee Anderson, a personal friend and one of the field’s great connoisseurs, at the auction house Doyle New York. Albania also is home to several pieces of rich mahogany furniture attributed to Louisiana’s legendary Prudent Mallard, a 19thcentury New Orleans merchant and furniture dealer. A particular standout is a tester bed with a dramatically cantilevered canopy. Portraits are a passion for Slonem—and it makes sense, given how social he is, that faces populate his walls.

Guests gather in the mansion’s aqua-hued dining room for a convivial dinner after careful preparation of the table. Slonem says it took 10 years to ﬁnd the right color for the room—a customized version of Sherwin-Williams’s “Light Calypso.” TH May 2016

hero Marquis de Lafayette looked on us in the dining room as we feasted on the delicious fare. (He seemed to approve.) With its multicolored interiors and eccentric mix of collecting and decorating (“collectorating”), Albania is an artwork. Slonem has spent years perfecting the colors. “These aquas are like ice cubes,” he said, referring to the dining room’s turquoise hue. “They don’t warm up the space.” And in Louisiana’s sweltering summers, that helps. Eventually, those of us who were staying retired to our guest rooms. Mine featured Kelly-green walls and an enormous canopy above my bed. The night passed without incident—or so I thought.

A few weeks later, I wrote to Parlange to ask her for thoughts on her stay at Albania. She e-mailed, “No ghost sightings by me. UNLESS that wasn’t you who blew in my room in the wee hours of the morning?” Chalk it up to the mystery and magic of Albania Plantation.

ith Cinco de Mayo on the way, a sophisticated take on decorations and cuisine captures a slice of Mexico and allows room for the colorful festivities that mark that special day. A hammered-aluminum centerpiece bowl recalls the soft luster of Mexican silver. Bulbous crystal wineglasses with deep blue stems give a refined nod to the casual, cobalt-rimmed variety popular for margaritas. Stitched leather chargers provide a simple take on the intricate tooling that graces Mexican leather goods and a masculine base for gold-edged plates with a navy blue floral pattern. Natural textures complete the setting in flatware with olive-wood handles, woven

placemats, an abaca runner, and deer antler accents on the table and sideboard. Modern Mexican cuisine is similar in origin to American cooking—many cultures impacted the food traditions of the indigenous people. The Aztecs had a plantbased diet that included staples we see today: corn, beans, and chiles. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, they brought Spanish-Arabic techniques and flavors to add to the mix. Later, the French, German, and Chinese stirred their influences into this complex, south-of-theborder melting pot. Today, Mexico celebrates both a refined haute-cuisine style of cooking and the hearty, home-style oferings of the local taqueria.

gatherings KITCHENS

istoric homes often have some squirrelly kitchen design features—leftovers from bygone days when hired staf was the norm, along with root cellars and dumbwaiters. Taking down walls and removing lowhanging archways were the ﬁrst orders of business when designer Christopher Peacock renovated the kitchen of a 1929 suburban Chicago house for the 2015 Lake Forest Showhouse and Gardens. “Originally, there was an alcove with a big arch hiding a window,” he says. “It was a beautiful window, and yet you couldn’t see it. It was a missed opportunity.” Removing walls and doors and enlarging doorways transformed the maze of rooms into one 16x22-foot light-ﬁlled

space befitting today’s kitchen-centric families. “We removed the big archway on the alcove by the kitchen sink, and immediately that brought all this light into the space,” Peacock says. Although the designer updated the floor plan, he remained true to the 1920s and ’30s feel of the house, furnishing it with traditional raised-panel-style cabinets in taupe-painted and natural-ash finishes. “I love white kitchens, but I wanted to get away from that and use this beautiful color,” he says. “This becomes a fresh interpretation of a traditional cabinet.” The island base and the hood above the range are painted of-white. “I like to have these negative/positive moments.

TH May 2016

inda Graham has traveled the world. But of all the places she has roamed, there is one that stands out as the most beautiful—the Cotswolds, that romantic swath of English countryside with verdant hillsides, woolly sheep, lush gardens, and medieval villages with thatched-roof cottages. So when Linda and her husband, Howard, decided to buy the lot next door to their Monte Sereno, California, home and build something from the ground up, the couple naturally looked to the Cotswolds for inspiration. It’s no surprise their new house—with its thatched and slate roofs, half-timber and lath walls, turret, carved rafter tails, leaded glass, and reclaimed wood and stone floors—looks as if it could have been gently plucked from the pages of a fairy tale. The magical outcome took more than a little “abracadabra.” With an eye toward finding professionals seasoned in employing Old World techniques, materials, and finishes, Linda says, “We assembled what I call The Dream Team.” First came interior designer Linda Floyd, who is known for creating sumptuous traditional homes layered with historic craftsmanship and fine antiques. Architect Gary Kohlsaat was next on board, followed by builder Jef Townsend and landscape architect Rich Wilson. “It was such a positive, collaborative project,” says Townsend, who was charged with researching centuries-old techniques and finding craftsmen who could do the work masterfully.

Library A vintage Persian carpet, leopardprint velvet-covered stools, and a mix of old and new books lend color to the vaulted, walnut-paneled library. Stairway Masons from England built the stone turret. Living room Designer Linda Floyd designed the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walnut paneling and the cofered ceiling with tooled-leather and gold-leaf insets. The limestone mantel is from France. Preceding pages The gate and iron hardware were designed and built on site by a craftsman who also made bronze doors and leaded glass windows for the home. The gallery hall features stone walls, reclaimed French limestone ďŹ&#x201A;oors, and an antique Italian chest, along with antique dog paintings and statuary.

Exterior Linda and Howard Graham’s Tudor-style

home features lush English gardens that wrap around the house, making it ideal for large-scale fundraising galas that the couple frequently host. Conservatory The airy conservatory is Linda’s favorite room. “I love to have tea here with girlfriends,” she says. The room’s chintz fabrics by Scalamandré and Old World Weavers were chosen first and inspired the selection of an antique Savonnerie rug and an 18th-century French console.

Before breaking ground, the team created a story for the home— a tale of what its history might have been if it had been built long ago. “We wanted it to look like it was added onto through the generations, as many grand old English houses were,” Floyd says. In their narrative, thatched-roof stables and horse stalls came first, followed by the Tudor-style house, growing in spurts as the fictional family got bigger, its fortunes increased, and architectural styles became more refined. Later would have come the fireplace pavilion and glass conservatory. That story guided the team in its efort to achieve an authentic look and feel—although the “stables” house Howard’s exotic cars and the “horse stalls” corral pool equipment. The house exudes the charm of days gone by. Constructed with authentic half-timbers and lath, it features Old World stonework in chimneys, walls, floors, and a grand turret by the front door. The turret displays arched windows and a curved stone staircase that leads up to second-story bedrooms and down to Howard’s wine cellar and tasting room. “I love the staircase tower,” Linda says. “It gives the house a castle-y feel.” To achieve an opulent manor house aura, the homeowner and designer, who shared an ainity from the day they met and were dubbed “Linda Squared” by the team, pored over design books. They traveled to London, New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco to shop

for antique furniture and fabrics, as well as building materials that included doors, lighting, statuary, and reclaimed wood and stone. When they couldn’t find the right antique, they improvised. An English library table was cut to fit into the library, which features walnut bookcases and a vaulted ceiling. Artisans created replicas of a 17th-century Jacobean turned-leg stool to share the space. While the Lindas found antique lighting for several rooms, the perfect fixture for the stone gallery that links the living room and limestone patio eluded them. Floyd ultimately designed a series of iron lanterns to light the way to a breathtaking English garden. The attention to historical accuracy and layering of furnishings and fabrics makes each room a discovery, including the soothing master bedroom, which resonates with French Country charm. The cheery kitchen features distressed cabinetry fronted with etched glass, plus vintage Moroccan tile on the stove’s backsplash. Floyd says seeing all the treasures in the house today brings back memories of “fun times Linda and I had shopping for them.” Homeowner Linda agrees. “The project was such fun,” she says. “We enjoy every moment here. This is our happily ever after.” Interior designer: Linda Floyd Architect: Gary Kohlsaat Landscape architect: Rich Wilson For more information, see sources on page 121

ﬁnish each other’s sentences and joke that they are twins separated at birth. So it’s a little surprising that homeowner Courtney Wigginton and Detroit-based designer Corey Damen Jenkins met after an Internet search. Both in their 30s, the pair forged an instant rapport upon meeting in 2013. No stranger to design challenges—Jenkins was recently named one of the nation’s top African-American designers and a winner of HGTV’s Showhouse Showdown—he nonetheless admits he was taken aback when Courtney and her husband, Jef, outlined the to-do list for their 1939 Colonial Revival in a Detroit suburb. “Overall, there were 32 spaces to design and furnish,” the designer says. “The most daunting part was the timeline. They wanted structural renovations completed within six months. Courtney was pregnant with their second child and due soon after the move-in date. I warned them that their schedule was absolutely insane. They looked at each other, smiled, and said: ‘We know.’ ” Courtney and Jef had considered other area designers, many of whom knew of the home’s long history and its previous designer, Living room Courtney Wigginton, who grew up in a traditional-style home, had

never worked with a designer. She had a thick file of clippings and ideas when she hired Corey Jenkins, and she brought her mother to the first planning meeting. “Courtney gave me a budget but didn’t micromanage me,” Jenkins says.

House This handsome American Colonial Revival residence in Bloomfield Village was designed by the Detroit firm Maul & Lentz in 1939. Members of the American Institute of Architects, partners Walter Maul and Walter E. Lentz left their mark on many historic gems in the suburban communities dreamed up by Detroit developer Judson Bradway. A blue-blood real-estate tycoon, Bradway encouraged the development of Tudor and Colonial revivals within the approximately one-square-mile residential community of Bloomfield Village, beginning in 1924 and ending with about 950 houses in 1964. “It wasn’t developed all at once,” says Art Atkinson, village manager of the Bloomfield Village Association. Bradway issued restrictions on what was allowed within the development, and even today, the neighborhood maintains his standard of “harmonious homes” distinguished by architectural details; pleasing scale, balance, and proportion; high-quality materials; and tasteful paint color.

Mario Buatta. “They all came up with ideas that mirrored the past owner,” Courtney says. “When I met Corey, he understood right away that I wanted to make the home mine—keep its traditional bones yet spice it up.” Taking cues both from Courtney’s closet and from the fashion runway, Jenkins presented a combination of bold hues and modern choices juxtaposed against a traditional backdrop. “She’s not afraid of color or pattern or of combining the two in inventive ways,” he says. Interiors were re-energized using jewel tones and vibrant saturated colors. “When we were getting started, designers like Elie Saab were featuring emerald, navy, and citron on the Paris runway, and Courtney loved those colors, so we started there,” says Jenkins. A pair of midnight-blue Jimmy Choos—part of the color board the designer put together—provided the inspiration for the palette’s sapphire tones and the kitchen’s La Cornue range. “When I saw those shoes,” Courtney remembers, “I said, ‘Oh good, he gets me.’ ” Courtney wanted the home to feel both elegant and easygoing and describes her style as “sophisticated yet livable.” The ﬁrst ﬂoor includes a mix of new, vintage, and inherited furnishings—some repurposed in surprising ways. A case in point: the living room’s classic French bergères, now covered in a seductive white patent Library Jenkins covered the ceiling with an unexpected, shimmery Cole & Son

wallpaper. “I believe in addressing all six walls in a room,” says the designer. “Ceiling treatments offer a great opportunity to make a room feel more intimate and make a truly personal statement.” A deep blue on the walls creates a rich backdrop for estate-sale paintings, inherited antiques, and a tall, handsome leather wing chair with nailhead trim by Henredon.

leather. Courtney calls them her “go-go boot” chairs. “Corey came to me with the fabric and said, ‘Just trust me,’ ” she recalls. “I said you’re making the chairs sexy, and he said, ‘Exactly.’ ” The fabric is also very forgiving, says Jenkins. “It’s great not worrying about the kids’ sticky ﬁngers or someone spilling wine,” adds Courtney. The pair worked their way through the house using a philosophy of saves and splurges. At the top of the splurge list was the luxe de Gournay wallpaper in the dining room. “I saw it in a magazine and fell in love,” says Courtney. “But when Corey told me the price, I almost had a heart attack. I had to keep reminding myself that it was a work of art.” They saved in areas most frequented by Winston, 5, and Hayes, 2, opting for lower-cost yet still stylish furniture, including the breakfast room’s Pier 1 chairs. Save or splurge, durability was key. “We chose a lot of velvets and linen blends, fabrics that work especially well for families with young kids.”

Jenkins admits he’s happy he didn’t know when he took the project that Mario Buatta had been the previous designer. “It would have been a little intimidating,” he says. He later showed the design icon photos of the redone house, and he says Buatta approved. “It almost felt like sacrilege to touch it,” Jenkins says, but overall he has few regrets. “It just wasn’t Courtney’s style—but I do feel a little bad about all that chintz.” Interior designer: Corey Damen Jenkins

They transport him to exotic destinations—to ancient Pompeii, to Dickensian London, to the land of Arabian Nights. And they take him to his most treasured place of all—close to family. “Right now, that’s what it’s all about,” Bob says. “My daughter Bianca is 15 and just got her driver’s permit. Miranda is 17 and is looking at colleges. They’ll be of on their own soon. That makes these moments precious. I want to enjoy this time while I can.” The house Bob, a financier, and wife Mia, an actress, share with their girls helps him do just that.

The exterior style says surely this house must have been raised from the Palm Beach sand by architectural icon Addison Mizner back in the 1920s or ’30s. Patinated wrought-iron lanterns, stenciled pecky cypress ceilings, and Corinthian columns hand-carved from stone would have you believe that this Mediterranean-look home dates from centuries even further past. But this is a house built in the 21st century—only its artisan traditions date to an earlier time. “We used craftspeople from around the world to create a home with personality,” de Biasi says. “It’s a fusion of global cultures that reﬂects the well-traveled lifestyle of this family.” Inside, elaborate cofered ceilings, intricate crown moldings, plinth blocks, and Old World antiques also say this is a house rich with history. “The devil is in the details,” Bob says. “There are so many little touches in this house that people don’t notice the ﬁrst time around.” Walls of hand-tooled leather, striéd Venetian plaster, and Moroccan tile set a breathtaking backdrop for antiques from around the globe. “Searching for pieces was the really fun part,” says Bob, who has journeyed with Mia to Italy, France, Portugal, Morocco, and Living room The house is awash in handcrafted touches: ornate ceilings and

elsewhere. “We’d pick up things on our trips—pieces we love, like a great painting in Casablanca. Those things make a house special.” “Traveling to Morocco when we were designing the house was huge,” Mia agrees. “Being able to touch the tile, for instance, to feel the materials where they live, was important. These things give the house great authenticity. It feels like it’s been here a long time. There’s a soul to our home.” It’s an old soul, but one that maintains all its youthful verve. Dashes of contemporary furnishings, happy colors, and fun-loving teens ensure this home lives for today. “The house is traditional, but timeless,” de Biasi says. “Fresh and inviting to everyone.” It’s a place where Yorkies are welcome on the furniture and beach balls bounce across the lawn. Because that’s the way this family wants it. “This is not a showhouse,” Bob says. “It’s a home.” Architectural/interior designer: Frank de Biasi

A TEAM OF TALENTED DESIGNERS, BUILDERS, AND ARTISANS RESTORES A HISTORIC HOME WITH AUTHENTIC DETAILS AND CONTEMPORARY SENSIBILITIES TH May 2016

108

meticulously restored Tudor house surrounded by lush, English-style gardens is not what you expect to ﬁnd sitting on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. A few years ago, when Gordon Bowen, a global advertising executive with roots in Utah, happened upon the property, it was a far diferent sight. Several developers also were eyeing the then-rundown house—more interested in the prime location than the structure itself. But Bowen won out, assuring the sellers he had no intention of tearing down the 1904 home. Initially he saw the house as a temporary residence. He was already working with architects Greg Tankersley and Bobby McAlpine and designer Rochelle Warner on plans for a new home to be built a few miles away. However, he soon shelved that project and committed to an ambitious renovation of the old house.

“I had the desire to create something unique,” Gordon says. “Greg had the vision to realize the full promise of this historic landmark.” Warner recommended the Alabama-based architectural duo to Gordon, having admired their work when she was living in England. “When we moved back to Salt Lake, I called to inquire about hiring them for our own home,” Warner says. “That didn’t work out, but I remembered how nice they were.” This time, it was a fit. “Gordon is incredibly spontaneous and cinematic, but he was also intent on creating a nurturing home for his two children,” says Tankersley. To introduce natural light and a contemporary flow to the cloistered and dark rooms characteristic of the Tudor style, Tankersley came up with the idea of a conservatory strategically attached along the rear of the original structure. With expansive window walls and a ceiling that rises to 15 feet, the light-filled

addition happily accommodates a gracious kitchen, informal dining area, and a pair of back-to-back conversation spaces. “The conservatory and its numerous doorways establish a congenial ‘figure eight’ circulation through the main floor,” Tankersley says. “No one ever wants to get cornered in a dead-end space.” At every juncture, Tankersley forged seamless connections between old and new. A wall in the foyer was removed to establish a new axis, and a dark center hallway was transformed into a sunny keeping room with a vaulted skylight. “We are constantly pulling modern tricks that allow an old house to breathe while maintaining its integrity,” he says. To ensure the existing living room didn’t get upstaged by the new conservatory, a cofered ceiling was added. The living room’s floor was lowered to accommodate the cofered treatment and

create volume and a grander sense of scale. “Our goal was a reinvented and functional home that respects the past,” Gordon explains. “In the world of preservation, creating timeless architecture is the ultimate act of conservation.” The original windows were dismantled and re-leaded with the original glass. Existing hardware was refurbished whenever possible, while missing sections and new windows were outfitted with faithful replicas crafted by local artisans. “The project challenged all the tradespeople,” Gordon says. “There was a sense of pride and ownership. They were perfectionists.” The renovation was under way in 2012 when Gordon went to London for the Olympics. While there, he saw an exhibit about 19th-century Arts and Crafts designer William Morris. “He got excited about English Arts and Crafts,” says Warner, and that

inspired much of the interior design. “We traveled to England together, and then I went back on my own for several shopping trips in the Cotswolds,” the designer says. “We are both night owls, so we were always sharing photos and sending texts to each other at crazy hours.” The dedication to restoration carried over to the grounds, where Nashville landscape architect Mike Kaiser tucked new and repurposed structures amid the gardens. A swimming pool original to the estate (the first in the state of Utah) was beyond repair, but Kaiser replaced it with a new family-friendly version. An antique greenhouse from India was transformed into a dining pavilion and anchors the property’s western boundary. Although the restoration of the home and gardens was a serious endeavor, there was still opportunity for whimsy. When Gordon

requested a playhouse for his daughter, Tankersley made the most of the opportunity. Gordon’s daughter loves the story of Rapunzel, so a tower it was. But looking ahead to her future, the architect designed the structure as a guesthouse with a bedroom on the second floor and a crow’s nest on top, and sited it in a picturesque setting next to a little stream. “Everyone involved, from the design to the execution of the small details, brought their best game to this project,” says Gordon, who maintains all voices deserved to be heard. He laughs about heeding the sage advice of his advertising mentor, David Ogilvy: “Don’t keep a dog and bark yourself.”

I AM

PRODUCTION AND COSTUME DESIGNER FOR FILM AND STAGE; INTERIOR DESIGNER; WINNER OF FOUR OSCARS

HOMETOWN Sydney, Australia HOW YOU KNOW HER She was a production and costume designer on The Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge!, winning Oscars for both, and on Australia. She often collaborates with her noted producer/director/writer husband, Baz Luhrmann. IF TIME TRAVEL WERE POSSIBLE … “I would go back to the late 19th century in Paris. It was such a time of contrast, where you had huge technological changes battling it out with a world that was still so linked to the past in terms of the decorative motifs, the way of life, and society’s prejudices.” AUTHENTICITY IS KEY “Every space has an inherent nature that is either created by the volume of space or its year of renovation or creation. Those things have to speak to you in order to have a space that feels authentic and true to its architectural roots.” SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES, ALL OF IT

“My artistic children are all of my films. I don’t play favorites.” HER LOVE OF BOOKS GOES WAY BACK

“Growing up, my favorite books were the Little House on the Prairie series and an English series with a heroine called Milly-Molly-Mandy. I don’t think I’ve read any book more than I’ve read those.”

PRODUCED BY CATHY WHITLOCK PHOTOGRAPH BY JULES TAHAN

I AM TRADITIONAL She loves to knit, believes every woman should own her destiny, and counts The Wizard of Oz as her favorite classic film.
