In this award-winning kitchen, NKBA designer Philip Nikolich combined high-gloss cabinetry, textured woods, leather and sculptural hardware to create a chic, sleek space.

“We always try to incorporate something different,” says Nikolich. “The end result is that we want our designs to inspire. No one is inspired by design that is recycled or over-used.”

LETTER EDITOR’S

Fifteen & Fab! WOW! It’s been 15 years since we launched with one magazine in Colorado. The past decade and a half, we have grown into the largest design network in the country, with 14 regional editions. I am incredibly proud to lead a brand that champions local design on such a grand scale.

To celebrate our birthday, Luxe Interiors + Design is looking boldly toward the future. We have a new logo, and a fresh updated look. While we evolve, our tenets remain: Home is your greatest luxury. Good design lives around your corner. Design professionals are invaluable. The built environment is the foundation. We believe there is power in diversity and authenticity. Finally, and most importantly, design is life-enhancing.

A heartfelt thank you to our team (past and present), to our beloved design community, to our advertising partners and to our valued reader. With love and optimism for the days and years ahead.

DRAWING BOARD A PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE

After meeting in architecture school and then working with prestigious California firms pushing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle, A Parallel Architecture’s Eric Barth and Ryan Burke returned to Austin where they saw a huge opportunity to continue that tradition in Texas. More than a decade later, Barth discusses the duo’s groundbreaking work. aparallel.com Describe your aesthetic. Our clients tend to call it “warm modern.” We see it as a by-product of solution-based, functional design. Beyond this, we are certainly inspired by architecture of all types and eras, from classical to minimalist, but the consistent goal is to achieve warmth and livability.

WOOD WORK

How do you expect client requests to change this year? I predict an increased

emphasis on amenitized properties as people realize they may want flexibility for working, entertaining, exercising and educating at home. Things like detached studios, swimming pools, gyms and sports courts have always been popular, but those may make more “need” lists than “want” lists moving forward.

What inspires your work? Part of the joy is that the field has such an enormous breadth and history. Art, nature, science, mathematics, literature, music—virtually every classical discipline has informed and inspired architects throughout the millennia, as has all the architecture since the dawn of man! Almost anything can trigger inspiration, from something as simple as a leaf on a tree to the enormous complexity of the cosmos.

“Good design is always carefully composed to satisfy the demands of both form and function,” says Jamar Simien, co-owner of Houston-based Contour Functional Art with Ikechukwu “Ike” Igbo and Brandon “BJ” Destouet. “Our core focus is making beautiful art you can actually use.” Their fully outfitted design-and-build firm creates legacy pieces that will last forever—from custom coffee, end and dining tables to creative wall decor and handmade bowls—while providing design consultation and project facilitation and shipping its handmade bespoke pieces around the world.

But perhaps most impressive is their mission to empower and connect Africa and America using sustainably sourced exotic wood species, all handcrafted by its team in East Africa. “We focus on the human aspect of what we do while still being concerned about the environment,” Simien says, adding, “We are Black-owned and operated, which is rare in the design industry. We hope to inspire young Black designers and woodworkers to push their own perceived limitations to refine their craft and seek ownership of their creative output.” contourfunctionalart.com

COLLABORATION

GROVE STUDIO X JAMES DUNLOP TEXTILES

SCENE

DESIGN

A Dallas architect with decades of experience designing luxury hotels worldwide, Jim Looney of Looney & Associates brings a unique point of view to product design. With that in mind, Looney founded Grove Studio, an atelier specializing in product design serving the hospitality, residential and commercial industry, which recently launched the Dunleith textile collection with James Dunlop Textiles. “We often specified James Dunlop Textiles on projects and know its fabrics to be high quality and suited to our design sensibilities,” says Looney of how the collaboration came about. Here, he shares the details of the collection with Luxe. jamesdunloptextiles.com What inspired this collection? The natural environment, classic and architectural elements found in everyday living and a take on a contemporary feel.

What does it include? Six patterns in a range of textures and patterns, with five to eight colorways available each. Each suits the hospitality and commercial markets with the elegant quality expected for residential use.

FIRST LOOK

COMMODORE PERRY ESTATE, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION The recently opened Commodore Perry Estate, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, offers visitors the feel of a European escape right in the heart of Hill Country.

Originally built at the height of the Jazz Age in 1928 as a private residence, the 10-acre property was designed

by Austin architect Henry Bowers Thompson as a transportive oasis in the middle of Austin. More recently, in a collaboration amongst internationally known designer Ken Fulk, renowned architecture firm Moule & Polyzoides and local, award-winning firms Clayton & Little and Ten Eyck Landscape Architects, the property has been painstakingly returned to its former glory and expanded to create a new destination city retreat and private club. A palette of muted pinks, apricots, curries and celadons in rich velvets and timeless patterns, complemented by storied furniture pieces and hand-painted murals by artist Deborah Phillips, harken to decades past while making it relevant for today. And throughout the property—which comprises a combined 54 rooms across the original 10,800-square-foot Mansion and an adjacent newly built inn—you’ll find a mix of custom and heirloom vintage pieces that feels collected over time, the interiors representing more than two years of Fulk’s shopping excursions to Round Top Antiques Show. aubergeresorts.com/commodoreperry

How might this collection be used? It contains a variety of fabric types and grounds for a wide range of use, from heavy-duty velvets for upholstery to lightweight sheers for drapery and even vertical applications for furniture and accessories.

EMBRACING HOME DESIGN COMMENTARY

I highly recommend a custom tufted velvet-upholstered bed that envelops you. The Sienna Bed from Bernhardt is a go-to for many of my bedroom designs.

I enjoy spending time in my Signature Hardware tub in my main bathroom. My favorite part of the room is the Mural Source wallpaper, which creates a sense of being in a beautiful natural setting far, far away.

–MONICA WILCOX

–VERONICA SOLOMON

Nothing is complete without beautiful lighting. Table lamps and floor lamps make everyone in the room look their best. In my breakfast room is the Carayes light by Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Corbett Lighting. The scale is so unexpected, and it’s a wonderful conversation starter.

Phillip Jeffries grass-cloth wallpaper gives a subtle wash of color that surpasses anything that can be achieved with paint and elevates a room the way fine shoes and accessories elevate an outfit.

–LAURA UMANSKY

–LUCINDA LOYA

–JULIE RHODES

My go-to paint colors are Sherwin-Williams Extra White 7006 and Caviar 6990. My classic palette is black, white and cognac. Done well, it offers proper contrast with a splash of luxe richness.

My favorite perch is a cozy leather chair by the window where I like to read. My goto for furnishings like this is local trade showroom Caffrey & Co. –LAURA BURTON

Mixing materials is important to creating authenticity in a space. I love high-gloss painted trim and paneled walls, an antique chest of drawers and lots of hand-blocked linen fabrics.

–MEREDITH ELLIS

Root Cellars pillows are always a great way to instantly freshen up your upholstery pieces. Fabrics by local textile artist Megan Adams Brooks are perfect for creating new bedding or a showstopping window treatment.

Julian Chichester has most items ready for quick ship, and Niermann Weeks has lots of great classics.”

–LAURA LEE CLARK FALCONER

Mirrors are an ideal way to lift your mood by drawing more light into a space. We love groupings of vintage mirrors and have found some great ones at MAI and Back Row Home.

–SARAH EILERS AND SANDY LUCAS

There’s nothing like going on a long walk to think through a challenge or clear one’s head. As for music, nothing is more beautiful to me than Ennio Morricone’s “The Mission” or anything by Chopin.

To spur creativity, I head outside with my camera. Nature, and the relationship of elements within nature, is my greatest source of inspiration.

I’m leaning toward paintings with strong red and orange tones mixed with a variety of other elements.

The woodcut prints

by Karen Kunc from Gallery Shoal Creek are part of the most recent art installation at our office.

Now more than ever, the home’s color palette should create peace, not noise.

One of my favorite soothing paint shades is SherwinWilliams Alabaster 7008. It’s the perfect base for layering textures and colors.

–MELISSA MORGAN

–TIFFANY MCKINZIE

–LAURA BRITT

–MARIE FLANIGAN

The focus on style and comfort is a reminder to consider your home’s functionality. Now is the time to optimize every space.

If you aren’t using a room, transform it into one that you will use. –MARCUS MOHON

Cashmere throws and blankets are the most luxurious items in a home. Rosemary Hallgarten makes my favorite one in the most gorgeous colors.

My memories of growing up in Charlottesville, Virginia, were of constant company. I lived out in the country, and everyone—my great aunt, godmother, parents—went to each other’s houses.

Having a dinner party or a cocktail buffet was a regular occurrence. There were libraries stacked with books and dogs constantly running in and out. It instilled in me the belief that houses should be welcoming, but not so precious that someone might feel uncomfortable.

I’ve often said that starting a project is like embarking on a new romance—that feeling of seeing someone across the room at a dinner party and your heart races. I fantasize about the house, imagining what it’s going to look and feel like finished. Like all affairs, there are the highs and lows, the traumas and dramas. There are exhilarating moments when you go shopping and find the perfect piece. Then there are the times when you’re dealing with budget constraints or something goes wrong. When I finish a house, I get incredibly sad. It’s time to move on to the next affair, but it’s hard because that project lived in my head for so long.

Working for Sister Parish and Albert Hadley taught me so much. I was just 24 years old, when I was lucky enough to experience the taxi-cab yellow drawing room they did for William Paley’s apartment.

It had beautiful French furniture, a Coromandel screen and paintings by Van Gogh and Gauguin, yet the room was so comfortable. It was a perfect juxtaposition of grand and simple. I’ll never forget that space.

Interestingly enough, people tend to think that I mostly do chintz rooms, but I believe one of the most beautiful things is to have a very severe background with an incredible piece of 18th-century furniture and a modern painting. No matter the style, it’s got to be comfortable, and that’s especially important now. Eight people should be able to sit in a group and talk to each other with a place to rest their drink.

Coming out of this period, people will either want cozier houses filled with furniture and objects, or they’ll be compelled to edit and simplify. Everybody wants an easy answer, but there’s never been just one way in design.

TO RADAR

This past year taught us that design isn’t just a pretty picture; it’s a vital component of our lives. We all like to believe that our homes matter. Certainly, I do—after all, I have a business based around that idea. But the importance of the spaces that we live in was magnified during the pandemic. When we look at gatherings that are more intimate, it makes experiences more valued and important.

Though I’ve been sheltering in Provincetown, Massachusetts, I generally think of San Francisco as my home. There’s a common thread that draws outsiders and nonconformists there, whether it’s artsy bohemians or the tech folks; it’s a community that relishes quirkiness and eccentricity. You get the feeling that even the blue bloods in San Francisco have some wonderful tawdry tale in their past! It’s the kind of place where a leather daddy, a drag queen, a tech gazillionaire and a doyenne with a neck full of diamonds can all sit at the same table. It’s part of what drew me there, and what adds a sense of otherness or fearlessness to our work.

When I was younger, I was desperate and excited to learn about design. Growing up in Virginia, I recall the impression family trips to Monticello or The Greenbrier had on me. As I got older, I became interested in designers who built totally immersive environments. The first time I went to Hotel Costes in Paris I was enthralled by Jacques Garcia’s ability to create transportive spaces.

Similarly, Tony Duquette and Renzo Mongiardino had this gift for crafting rooms in an incredibly theatrical way. For us, every project starts with a story. There’s literally a written script for every job we do. The story provides a guidepost so we don’t lose sight of what we’re trying to achieve.

Not every project comes with a rich narrative, but sometimes you get lucky, which happened with our revamp of the Cloud Club, (the legendary lunch spot in the Chrysler Building). It’s one of the most iconic buildings in the world. We want to honor the building’s past as well as the optimism of its era. That’s what’s so special about working on this building at this particular moment. I think we all want to feel optimistic about something right now.

Growing up in Palm Beach was a unique experience because it was all folly and fantasy. Every aspect of my childhood home was magical. I grew up in a turreted-shingled church in the middle of a garden filled with orange blossoms and bougainvillea. It’s a place where you can paint vines up over your walls and ceiling.

It’s personality-forward decorating. That love of theatrical design, the integration of indoor/outdoor spaces and a laid-back approach to entertaining carry through my designs, no matter where I’m working.

Though I hadn’t planned on becoming a designer, I didn’t know how to not make design a priority. Deep down I just really like to find things and shine a light on them in a way that shows their potential. To illustrate, I’m not a morning person—there’s very little you could do to get me to wake up before 8:30 a.m. But if a friend said, I’ll give you $300 to go to the flea market to buy things for my house, I would be up at 5 a.m. shivering in the rain with a sense of anticipation that rivals Christmas morning. I get this feeling when I walk into an antique store or turn down an aisle at a flea market. I think we’re all led to things by our joy and if we’re lucky that can be our career.

When I look back, the buildings could burn down and the houses could be sold, but what matters is the people I’ve come to love or be changed by. It’s funny—you think your career is about what you do, but it’s mostly about who you do it with. An unforeseen and often uncelebrated highlight is that I get to work with my mother (interior designer Mimi McMakin). She’s the designer I’ve learned the most from, and it’s not just what she’s taught me professionally per se, but also the constantly evolving, beautiful home she provided for us.

The past year has given us all a chance to reconsider our priorities and what makes our homes distinctly ours. The pandemic, the stopping of work, having been stuck in our houses—it’s made things that matter mean much more.

Personally, it has made me more focused on antiques, vintage items and things that have history. It’s beauty with deeper roots, meaning and authenticity.

FOR A NEW WAVE OF HOME DECOR BRANDS, GOOD BUSINESS AND SOCIAL CONSCIOUS GO HAND IN HAND. W R I T T E N BY G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

“Consumers are becoming more discerning about investing in brands with purpose,” says Jodie Fried, co-founder of Armadillo. Of the brand’s artisan and weaver community (shown here), she adds, “We consider them extended family.”

Being confined to our spaces like never before has shed light on every facet of our homes: the look, the function, the comforts— and with renewed potency, the intentions behind the items we live with. While consumer activism gained fresh credence in 2020, a rising tide of young design brands have been defining a new model of ethical production at scale for years.

Unable to find fine, handmade rugs that aligned with their value set, Jodie Fried and Sally Pottharst founded Armadillo with community enrichment and fairtrade practices as key DNA pillars. Not a decade into business, the duo established The Armadillo Foundation, which supports free medical clinics and funds an elementary school in their weaver village in India. “We have a team on the ground and our artisans know that if they have a

financial or medical need, they can come to us,” says Fried.

For Los Angeles-based Block Shop, kinship was a similarly integral principal. Helmed by sisters Hopie and Lily Stockman, the cult favorite design studio was born on relationships Lily had developed with a family of next-generation block printers while studying overseas.

Recognizing kindred spirits in these artistic entrepreneurs, the sisters hatched plans for a graphic block print brand whose success champions wages two to three times higher than the national average and dedicates 5% of proceeds toward health care initiatives in the Jaipur artisan community. “A familial sense of decency has always been our core ethos,” says Hopie.

Like the Stockman sisters, Christina Bryant too found the spark for St. Frank,

her luxury home goods brand, while abroad.

Living in rural Rwanda, Bryant became enamored with the exquisite Agaseke baskets made in her village. So spurred a business model that works with artisans in under-resourced communities to design and produce product lines. (To date, St. Frank supports jobs in more than two dozen countries.) “We showcase traditional craft as art form,” says Bryant, adding that her Oaxacan embroidered tablecloths take four women an entire month to create.

“Our model is the opposite of exploitative.

We make a premium product that the handiwork deserves.”

As with anything shown affection, the impact is palpable. Notes Hopie, “When human care and thoughtfulness flow from creator to object, you sense that intention when you hold it in your hand.”

TRISH SHEATS, PRESIDENT trishsheats.com 817.718.0302 trishsheatsid

s an interior designer, Trish Sheats is all about making her clients’ dreams come true, no matter what it takes. While she focuses much of her residential design prowess on high-end projects in and around Texas, including Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Amarillo and East Texas, she is the first to hop in a car or on a plane when clients call on her services across state lines. “Whether near or far, I work with clients through each and every step of the creative process to ensure every aspect of the project is perfect,” says the president of Trish Sheats Interior Design. In keeping with this, Sheats says travel is one of her

primary inspirations, along with nature.

“Green is definitely a neutral in my book; I am constantly inspired by the colors, textures and feelings of nature,” she says. “And traveling always gives me new perspective and ideas.” Another way the designer keeps a fresh eye on design is to work herself into her clients’ style; not the other way around. “This way I get to experience a variety of projects that don’t all fit into one box,” she says.

When working on multiyear projects, Sheats aims to create as seamless an experience as possible for her clients.

“I preselect everything I bring to a client and welcome them to be involved as much or as little as they desire.”

I’m ready to go coastal! My family and I traveled to Eleuthera in the Bahamas, and I was so inspired by the laid-back luxurious homes, so a beach house is next.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

Instagram has led to exponential growth for my business. Photographing my projects has become even more of a priority to showcase my work.

What do you feel has been your greatest success and why?

Being invited to design a room in the inaugural Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Dallas was such an honor. I was assigned the Son’s Bedroom, which felt so organic as I have three sons of my own.

House of the Orchard, Pompeii, Italy

Fresco Forward The word fresco transports us to Italian villages with painterly scenes. One of the most stunning examples of the art form lies within the excavated House of the Orchard, built in the first century A.D. in the ancient city of Pompeii. The walls, presumably painted for a wealthy family, depict ethereal garden settings of trees, animals and garden decor in rich, saturated tones—strikingly intact, even after being buried for hundreds of years.

Pay close attention and Portugal’s complex history comes to life via its masterful legacy of intricate tilemaking.

Individual geometric and colorful patterns can be credited to the Moorish influence dating back to the 13th century, whereas blue-and-white scenic motifs were first introduced to the country by Italian artists.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOME

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING

Thomas O’Brien’s Library House started with a vision for the kitchen. As the story goes, when the building next to his current Bellport, New York, home—a former 1830s boys’ school, which he shares with husband and designer Dan Fink—became available, O’Brien purchased it and started fresh with a ground-up build. “We both love to cook and dine in and when planning this house, we decided it was finally time to create a wonderful kitchen like we do for our clients,” he says. aerostudios.com Talk to us about the floor plan. The kitchen had to be both beautiful and functional and was laid out to accommodate two small rooms flanking the main cooking space, which sits at the top of a large, layered library. Both adjacent areas can be closed off allowing the main space’s kitchen island to shine.

Inspired by an actual English table several hundred years old, the substantial island features clipped corners, lots of storage and a beautiful stone surface.

What was the starting point for the design? I love marble and the way it looks in traditional homes.

I had originally bought slabs of marble for the kitchen but on a trip to the stone yard I came across this Connemara marble I had never seen before. Sourced from the coast of Ireland, the veining reminds me of a vivid green landscape, which I knew would look lovely in the kitchen. It completely changed the space and became the total inspiration for the room.

That table is so inviting! The dining table is the ideal scale for two or four people and is an old English design that falls into the category of brown furniture no one wants anymore, but it’s kind of perfect. The way we set it up is that the cook sits in the chair, for easy access to the kitchen, and the other gets to relax on the settee, but we mix up duties all the time.

This whole area feels easy, even if it’s a bit fancy!

The backsplash transforms the space. Why a mirror? The moment the mirror went in, it changed everything. It not only opens up the kitchen but functions as a window bringing in and reflecting light, which is important in this slightly darker Library House. You can see what’s happening behind you, so the mirror acts as a tool to see the full picture.

In Thomas O’Brien’s kitchen, a custom walnut island by Aero Studios, his design laboratory, takes center stage. The Art Deco drawer pulls are from Le BHV Marais found on a trip to Paris. A Visual Comfort & Co. ceiling fixture and Galia Century stools, both collaborations with O’Brien, complete the arrangement. On the previous page, the designer’s dogs, Dally Mae and Totie, pose on the dining settee upholstered in Owls & Fruit by GP & J Baker for Lee Jofa. The French linen tablecloth is from Copper Beech and the large tumblers are by Baccarat.

Past Perfect CHARACTERFUL AND COMFORTABLE, THERE’S NOTHING DATED ABOUT THE NEW HISTORICAL HOME. W R I T T E N A N D P R O D U C E D BY G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

There’s something soothing about a house that has stood the test of time—layers of soul, a testament to enduring materials and beneath it all, a suggestion of simpler days.

It is these and so many other attributes that have intrigued design devotees young and old to seek out historic homes.

As Summer Loftin, designer, antiques dealer and lucky inhabitant of this preserved 1920s carriage house, keenly observes, “Nostalgia is making a comeback and everybody loves a great story.”

In her own Atlanta living room, designer Summer Loftin chose Benjamin Moore’s Summer Blue to create “a calm yet vibrant” setting for original architectural features, including black-and-white checkered floors and preserved dentil moldings, to shine. Adding interest, Loftin’s personal collections of blue-andwhite porcelain, early 20th-century Dutch oil paintings and antique furnishings build a unique and storied tableau. summerloftin.com

LIVING

ORIGINAL FLAVOR Brooklyn-based architect Elizabeth Roberts built an empire around gently injecting turn-of-the-century homes with contemporary perspective. Here, Roberts waxes poetic on balancing old with new and the appetite for historic charm in the luxury market. elizabethroberts.com Natural niche: As an undergrad at UC Berkeley, I spent summers on an archeological dig in Crete, which opened my eyes to the layers of history found in architecture. At the time, Columbia University’s Architectural Historic Preservation graduate program offered a Design Sector degree that focused on the reuse of historic buildings.

LUXESOURCE.COM

I’m so happy this brought me to New York. I’ve restored more than 50 townhouses here, the vast majority more than 150 years old.

Reno rule: With an addition, it’s respectful to create a clear demarcation where the old building ends and new one begins.

I will not design “fake old.” Never update: Original handrails. Solid mahogany is irreplaceable and when restored, incomparable to any other wood. Always update: Lighting and paint. Dream digs: An old Parisian apartment with high ceilings and plaster moldings everywhere. Characterful refresh: Minimize sheetrock by installing painted or unpainted wood paneling on the ceiling or walls. Finding balance: If there is an authentic detail, I’ll try hard to work around it—and not just in prewar buildings. For a current 1980s renovation, we decided that the unusual roof and double-story fireplace should stay. We’re replacing the lava-stone panels on the chimney breast with handmade tile, but decided the shape and form were important to retaining the feel of the original structure. Always chic: Authenticity.

I spend an enormous amount of time creating unique homes that sit well within their context.

OLD GOOD THINGS

COLLECTORS ACROSS THE NATION SOUND OFF ON BUYING TRENDS AND FAVORITE TREASURES.

RUTH DAVIS, FOUND HOUSTON, TEXAS

In-store: Conversation pieces with personality— unique furnishings, new and vintage art and creative accessories. Personal aesthetic: I’m drawn to antiques with a contemporary feel and look for pieces with very clean lines. That being said, I also love rococo. It’s all about the mix. Signature pieces: Mirrors. Even in a contemporary house, an antique mirror looks fresh, and we sell a lot of them. We also love a great gilt wood chair which we’ll usually upholster in something fun, like chartreuse felt. Two cents: The designer Miles Redd once said that the success of a project depends on how many “yeses” he gets. My advice is to hire a great designer and say “yes” a lot. foundforthehome.com

CRIS BRIGER AND CHARLES PEED, CASA GUSTO WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

Old with new: We offer antiques, art and exclusive contemporary pieces, including Mexican Talavera pottery and papier-mâché botanicals. Recent favorite: A 19 th -century Irish mahogany settee, which arrived in a very stiff blue silk. We reupholstered it in a brown stripe and added chocolate ribbons for spunk. Totally Pride and Prejudice worthy. Secret sauce: We like opposing fabrics, like mattress ticking upholstery for a formal bench to change its attitude—like a day dress for evening.

Why antique: Furniture, like architecture, should pass the test of time, evoking where it came from, and bringing a story to a room. getthegusto.com

MICHAEL TRAPP, MICHAEL TRAPP INC. WEST CORNWALL, CONNECTICUT

Sweet spots: 16th- to 20 th-century textiles, furniture, carpets, ceramics, natural history, paintings, chandeliers and more. Latest score: 16th -century Ming Swatow porcelain plates from a shipwreck discovered off Sumatra. I covered the walls of my sitting room with over 300 of them. Timeless means: Good proportion, quality materials, solid construction and a nice patina. In demand: Dutch Colonial furniture from the 19th and 20th century; simple pieces with strong lines. Mantra: I search the world for beautiful objects. It doesn’t matter who made it or when—just that it’s beautiful. michaeltrapp.com

For a decadent dose of old-world style, look no further than de Gournay’s new Cabinet of Curiosities wallcovering. Drawing inspiration from the 16th -century Wunderkammer craze, the design depicts an array of collectible objects—all hand-painted and custom curated per client—set within the illusion of decorative cabinetry. Think of it like your own miniature museum immortalized in silk. degournay.com

ROOTED IN PLACE Residences by architect Gil Schafer are an inimitable cocktail of timeless style and modern comfort. Whether designing his own Greek Revival farmhouse in New England or a sprawling Mediterranean Revival in Montecito (as seen in this sketch), according to Schafer, the following three considerations shape every ground-up project from outset to install day. gpschafer.com Siting. The most successful home design sits on its site in a way that feels inevitable. It nestles into the land, taking cues from its contours, embracing the views and creating seemingly effortless fl ow between inside and outside.

Context. A new historic house’s authenticity really depends on how well it relates to its context—both natural and historical. What style it is, its proportions, how the windows look, its details—all of these elements send subliminal messages to the mind’s eye that tell you whether to believe the design or not.

Decoration. Never leave thinking about decoration until the end of the project— it should be right there at the beginning along with the architecture and the landscape. In the most successful schemes, the furniture sits effortlessly in rooms designed around them, and the colors and textures of the fabrics enhance the architecture, connecting with the residence’s sense of time and place.

AMERICAN INVENTION

While the exact origin story remains unconfirmed, the rocking chair is widely held as an American contribution, first favored by Colonial mothers, later decorating porches from the Great Plains to the White House and always being reinvented anew as a dynamic design statement. Handiwork of Asheville, North Carolina-based chairmaker Brian Boggs, the Cio rocker—available in maple, walnut and cherry— speaks to both the resurgent chic of clean-lined brown furniture and the enduring appeal of a quintessentially American staple. brianboggschairmakers.com

MAKING HISTORY

DESIGNER DAVID KAIHOI TELLS THE TALE OF A GRAND OLD 1810 FEDERAL THAT LURED HIS FAMILY TO THE HUDSON VALLEY.

We got the itch last April. A friend insisted we crash at his 19 th-century farmhouse in upstate New York, and that’s when my wife began aching for a country home. She always wanted a Jane Austen fantasy: an old house with good bones and stories. But it was only an abstract notion with architectural flourishes—a crackling fireplace, a proper staircase, gutsy millwork, worn floors and wavy glass windows. Maybe a kooky attic. Something rough around the edges with strong, redeemable character.

Our hearts are in New York City’s East Village, where we haven’t tired of our fifth-floor walkup. Our two kids share a bedroom and we colorfully negotiate use of a single bathroom. It’s an adventure that keeps us tight and mindful. We weren’t necessarily in a position to buy, but we love a project—and entertaining the idea had become a preferred dinner conversation. Where could it be? What might it look like? We were open to all scenarios, but that weekend directed our focus to a historic home in the Hudson Valley.

We’d ogle listings of romantic piles, sigh to ourselves and think, ‘too much work,’ or ‘too much money.’ It was heartbreaking! Death by a thousand listings. But then, one stopped us cold. You know that feeling when it starts to hurt? That’s love, I think. We fell in love.

The house was in Columbia County and since we were in the area over the New Year, we planned a drive-by; a tempt of fate. We snooped around and peeked through windows.

As we feared, it checked all boxes: history, scale and gentle layers of quirks from owners past and present. We contacted the broker for a closer look, and you know the rest. For now, the rooms are empty and the echoes couldn’t make us happier. It will be a long, slow burn, collecting stories and writing the next chapter in the history of this house. reddkaihoi.com

The new neighbors—goats from an abutting horse farm—offer an unconventional housewarming for designer David Kaihoi, wife Monique, daughter Mirabelle and son Anders, as they settle into their recently purchased historic home in Ghent, New York.

Growing up, Lynel Brown often heard her father utter a phrase his own father instilled in him, “Build it for your children’s children … and teach them the same.” Frederick Brown, who founded Brown Safe in 1980, certainly passed the mentality on successfully. “This is now a mantra of sorts for our family

• Exotic hardwoods ine leather interiors with •F hand-stitched detailing ommercial-grade systems •C for monitoring and granting access, including biometric fingerprint-reading locks, bolt lock indicator sensors, silent signal alerts and home automation integration

and company, and we honor it each day through a steadfast commitment to excellent craftsmanship and long-term reliability,” Lynel says. Yet even as it maintains these values, the creator of high-design, high-tech safes and vaults innovates, consistently introducing some of the most exquisite, well-performing and one-of-a-kind products in the field. Brown Safe’s best seller perfectly exemplifies the result of such duality. “Our Gem safes offer the same security and functionality of our military-grade products, with added beauty, elegance and convenience that make them a must-have for the home.”

INDUSTRY FIRST: THE CHRONOS Brown Safe’s Chronos design is the sum total of everything the company has learned about safe design, cutting-edge technology, advanced materials manufacturing and mechanical engineering. “It retains the Brown Safe DNA, but does everything in a whole new way,” Lynel says. “The Chronos model was the first safe anywhere to be completely built out of military-grade ballistic armor plating.

It also sports a completely original interlocking door design and mechanical system that allows for solid-titanium locking bolts on all four sides, for silky-smooth operation.” Accessed via fingerprint and abundant with other luxurious features, Chronos truly stands apart.

“Our business is run by family, and we’re curious people,” Jacob says. “We are all constantly evaluating the world and trends, not just from a style perspective, but inclusive of social changes, too.

The exploration into boundless possibilities of glass first set us apart from the crowd. Today, an understanding of wellness and seamlessness of environment has propelled us forward to be the first to introduce collections of full-spectrum, integrated smart home LED fixtures.”

The year was 1960. The place was the United States. The vibe was creative and electric. It was in these circumstances that Jacob Sperling found himself experimenting with the limits of glass and brass to design one-of-a-kind lighting fixtures. Today, those roots have grown into a veritable empire of brands. Through parent company Maxim Lighting, Studio M crafts gorgeous solutions for hospitality spaces, and ET2 Contemporary Lighting has brought modern flair with highly unique touches to the home. Created in the ‘90s, ET2 was inspired by the sort of iconic aesthetic pioneered by Gio Ponti in his work for FontanaArte—clean lines, thought-provoking shapes and a striking balance in material use. “We have always aimed to convey the duality of style and quality in ET2’s designs,” says Jacob, who today leads all three of his brands with family members Nathan Sperling and Naomi Sperling. Crafted with the best in LED binning and HPF ballasts, ET2’s products are on the technological forefront, too.

DECADES OF DEDICATION • I nvestments: Ever since Jacob Sperling risked it all to buy the materials he needed to create his first pieces, Maxim and its following brands have upheld a legacy of giving to get. “Investing deep actually allows us to continue to provide value pricing, because we can trust in our quality and the conversion of product as a result of others trusting in it as well.”

• I nteractions: While its builder division is itself a powerhouse, Maxim’s contract teams utilize different personnel for a concierge service dedicated to architects, designers and lighting procurement agencies.

With more than 50 years of expertise, Louis Gloria, founder and president of Louis Gloria Painting, is committed to passing along his knowledge to the next generation. After all, he learned from the best—his father, Italian master painter Archilao Gloria. “I believe there are no shortcuts to the mastery of anything, even in these days of remarkable technological advances,” says Louis, who moved to Dallas from New York in the early 1980s. “It takes years of work, repetition and patience.” With a meticulously trained team of painters, Louis Gloria Painting offers clients an unparalleled experience, approaching every detail with care, from distressed wood finishes to Venetian plaster, and every level of painting in between. “In time, one develops an ability to see and sense things that are invisible to the untrained eye,” Gloria notes, hinting at the secret to his success.

Louis does not take the task of mentoring lightly; rather, he views it as a path for personal and professional growth. “The goal of our apprenticeship process is to transform a young person who has chosen painting as their career into someone who thoroughly understands the nature of the craft,” he says. “Slowly, through observation and guidance, they gain the confidence to experiment with their new skills, continually stretching the boundaries of innovation and creativity.”

RICHARD DRUMMOND DAVIS ARCHITECT 214.521.8763 | rddavisarchitect.com |

rddavisarch

As a young boy, Richard Drummond Davis was a master builder with Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys and pine blocks. Loving to build and gifted with skill in drawing, Davis seemed destined for a career in architecture. After studying at the University of Texas, he attended graduate school at Princeton University under renowned Postmodernist architect Michael Graves. Today, Davis’ diverse portfolio includes noteworthy homes throughout Texas and across the country. His interest in modern design didn’t immediately resonate with the high-end Dallas/Fort Worth audience. Through traveling, research and a few breakthrough projects, Davis became knowledgeable in period eclecticism such as Georgian, Greek Revival and French Provincial, among others. Modern design’s subtle growth in the region has given Davis the opportunity to engage, once again, in the style upon which he built his architectural foundation.

raffic Calmed Area” and “Heavy Plant Crossing” are among the charming yet ambiguous British traffic signs amusing tourists tooling around the English countryside. But it was one signaling “Changed Priorities Ahead” that got a Texas couple on a London holiday snapping pictures. Indicating a change in the road layout, it proved an inspiration—so much so that a sign emblazoned with those words now hangs at the entry to the Hill Country retreat they built two years later. “To them it means put your phone away, enjoy Mother Nature and change your priorities while you are here,” says interior designer Debbie Baxter. These words would challenge her to create mood-altering interiors for the couple, their four high school and college-age children and their guests.

“They wanted a casual, no-fuss interior but with a certain sense of chicness,” explains Baxter, referencing the owners’ directives for the residence designed by architect Roy Braswell, who, sadly, passed away during the course of this project. With its Hill Country cream limestone walls, Braswell’s architecture melds with the local vernacular while the wall-height windows with frames painted to resemble steel offer a contemporary twist. Stained concrete floors throughout also lean modern while providing a smooth textural counterpoint to the hand-hewn ceiling beams.

The addition of a lake to the property prior to the home’s construction, which was implemented by builder Robert Allison, dictated the placement of the main house and four casitas Braswell designed.

“The residence has a large kitchen and serves as the gathering place for friends and family,” Baxter adds. “These clients are ‘the more the merrier’ type.”

At the same time, the tranquil water views paved the way for a design direction that was less ranch aesthetic and more lakeside retreat. “The native oak trees and green undertone of the water served as the jumping off point for everything,” says Baxter.

With blues and greens signaling relaxation, Baxter’s first selection was the kitchen island’s eucalyptus-tone quartzite. Elsewhere, a ceramic blue lamp here and aqua pillows there serve as background players while soothing water-esque wall tones dominate in the main bedroom. And in the large powder bathroom—where three

compartments include a dressing area to slip on a bathing suit before heading out for a swim—the wallpaper is an explosion of flowers and cacti in a full spectrum of verdant hues. Meanwhile, Baxter employed punches of stark white for a playful kick throughout. “It became the major accent color,” the interior designer says, pointing to the plaster dining room chandelier, milk-white kitchen globes and linen-weave cafe curtains in the main bathroom as illustrations. Despite the locale, strategic choices such as these kept the furnishings looking anything but rustic. “The use of white draws in that very contemporary edge for a crisp, modern and young interior while injecting a sense of sophistication,” Baxter explains.

The same is true throughout, particularly in the great room, where wood chairs with rush seats and backs with cushions are organic complements to the soft upholstered sofa and armchairs. “They are very rectilinear yet textural,” says Baxter, noting she strategically placed an antique table between the seating and added a hand-woven Oushak rug to warm up the sleek concrete floors.

And in the dining room, supple chocolate leather chairs offset a white-oak table with a natural black-walnut base. “I love the juxtaposition of texture with slick, old with new, the yin with the yang,” the interior designer adds.

A smattering of well-placed antiques and collectibles further ups the interest level. Citing the hand-painted Hungarian carpenter’s chest in the entry, Baxter recalls, “It’s been in my inventory for 15 years waiting for the right project.” And in the dining room, a whitewashed chest with an unknown history proved the perfect foil for an abstract painting serendipitously capturing the home’s palette. “The artwork even has that goldenrod coloring of the limestone—as if we had commissioned it,” she adds.

But in the end, the residence—from eucalyptus leaves spilling out of a vintage box in the entry, to the reclaimed wood great room coffee table, to the hand-painted kitchen backsplash tiles—points back to Mother Nature. “When you come around the bend and see the lake and casitas it all just makes you want to sigh with relaxation,” says Baxter. “And hopefully when you step inside, you’ll experience yet another relaxing sigh and your priorities really will change.”

Evident in the Vanguard Furniture sofa and reclaimed wood coffee table by Sarreid Ltd., the great room’s color scheme and textures derive from the surrounding oak trees and brush. The swivel armchairs tout Arc-Com performance fabric and the chandelier is from Made Goods.

Grow with the Flow A family-centric Dallas couple fulfills their dream of building a custom home.

WRITTEN BY MA I L E P I NG E L | P H OTOG R A P H Y BY MI CH A EL H U NTER

A

t a time in life when most people prefer to downsize, Dallas couple Chris and Genny Mantzuranis chose to do just the opposite. While they had contemplated renovating their previous family abode of more than 20 years, the couple knew deep down that building a sizable new forever home from the ground up would better suit their needs. “We envisioned a comfortable and classic house where we could have our grown children and grandkids over,” recalls Genny. “We began to realize this would require starting fresh.” And when Genny happened serendipitously upon the perfect empty lot, everything seemed to naturally lead them toward moving forward with new construction.

The couple first turned to builder Christopher Dauwe and residential designer Charles A. Isreal, who developed the drawings for a country Frenchstyle home that could accommodate family gettogethers while still being perfectly cozy for two. “We learned how we live while in our previous house,” says Genny, noting things like a casual eat-in kitchen made far more sense for them than a formal dining room. Rounding out the team, interior designer Margaret Chambers—who recommended architect Richard Drummond Davis for refining details like the entry ceiling and door, cabinetry and wine room—applauded her clients’ originality and sense of adventure. “It’s about time personality came back into design,” she says buoyantly. “I want to see more creativity, collecting, craftsmanship—things that inspire me. I’ll never do another house just like this, and that’s what satisfies the artist inside me.”

To help hone plans for the interiors, Chambers and the owners perused hundreds of inspiration photos. “We had to pare it down and think about who they are now,” Chambers explains. Seeking a fresh take on French interiors with clean lines and a selection of antiques, they scrapped original plans for using all existing furnishings and instead brought in mostly new finds, with only five or so pieces making the move. One of the keepers—a treasured abstract painting inherited from Genny’s aunt— found a prominent place in the entry and inspired the home’s entire color palette. Working with her senior interior designer Allen Keith, Chambers

cleverly wove the heirloom’s aqua, terra-cotta and gold shades throughout the main spaces. Watery blues accent a music room adjacent to the entry, for example, while earthy shades dominate in a nearby office showcasing a ceiling clad in Kelly Wearstler wallpaper. Similar soft rust and sandy hues carry into a living room housing antiques for a sense of timelessness along with recliners for ensured comfort. “Nothing’s shiny or flashy—it’s all about warmth,” explains Chambers, whose use of durable fabrics obliged not just the couple’s love of comfort but also their golden retrievers.

Perhaps the most fitting space of all for this gregarious, family-oriented couple is the spacious kitchen, which features double ranges, a generous island and a long eat-in dining table that can seat 10 per the owners’ request. Chris’ family had immigrated from Greece, after all, making it easy to imagine the boisterous, joyful scenes from My Big Fat Greek Wedding playing out in this spectacularly vaulted space. And to get the most out of it, Chambers brought in specialist Helene Terry. “Kitchen designers know how to install products so that they really function,” Chambers explains. “She made it easy.”

Elsewhere, care was taken to carve out more intimate places and make the home conducive for the couple long-term. For example, a morning room just off the kitchen serves as a quiet sitting area, a guest suite located on the first floor could easily become a second main bedroom, and a large game room has its own bar. Meanwhile, Chambers returned to gentle aqua hues for a restful main bedroom retreat that includes a conversation nook and writing desk, while bringing in modern elements like natural stone bedside lamps to “help keep the space from being too predictable,” Chambers explains.

Unpredictability has served these homeowners well. “It’s not often a couple in retirement builds a dream home that’s so current and on such a large scale,” Chambers notes. “However, they always wanted a custom build, and at this point in their lives they could really enjoy the process.” And the result not only reflects the owners’ tastes but also earned their children and grandchildren’s stamp of approval. “We wanted them to love this house,” says Chris. “I thought we were living in our dream house all those years before, but this is it.”

Rose Cumming fabric adorns swivel armchairs from Caperton Collection in the morning room off the kitchen. Here, a Randy Browning oil-on-canvas from Southwest Gallery overlooks a mid-19th-century French Louis Philippe walnut buffet from Legacy Antiques. The oak flooring is from Signature Floors & Interiors, while the lighting design throughout is by L. Jay Pope.

A Dennis & Leen sofa, Formations spindle chair and coffee tables, all from Culp Associates, join a skirted sofa by Caperton Collection in the living room. An Ebanista wing chair in Jane Shelton fabric from George Cameron Nash and a fireplace bench by The Chambers Collection ensure ample seating. The rug is from Interior Resources.

A Dallas-area artist reimagines Western painting through his longtime love of Texas.

Best in the West

T

he year was 1969. The Space Age consumed America and Neil Armstrong had walked on the moon. However, then 7-year-old Jon Flaming was preoccupied with the wild Texas west. “It was like another world— filled with waiting adventure,” the burgeoning Dallas-area artist says. “This seemed like a place where anything was possible.”

It turned out anything was possible—including transforming Texas from his childhood playground into an inspirational well eventually fueling a fine-art career. Surrounded by vintage cowboy hats, Flaming depicts his great state through large-scale oil-on-canvas paintings featuring anything from ordinary farmhouses to the extraordinary, like his Picasso-esque “Modern Cowboy” series. Piece by piece, he’s reimagining the Western art genre with a modern folk twist, and all in the dusty palette of home. “I pull colors from gravel roads, wheat fields, old rusted tractors,” he says. “I’m constantly searching for new ways to represent the state.”

Born to musicians, Flaming has long nurtured his imagination. “I’ve always needed to create,” says the artist, who began his career as a graphic designer. After putting his kids to bed, he’d work relentlessly on personal pieces.

The local art world soon took notice and he earned representation at David Dike Fine Art and the interest of high-profile collectors.

Eventually, he decided to pursue painting fulltime, crediting his success to experience and habit: “I focus energy on decisions that drive my work forward,” he explains.

Flaming channels much of that energy into seeking inspiration, in architecture, music, or even photography. When an idea hits, he sketches it first before scanning it into Adobe Illustrator to fine tune colors and composition.

“I’m pretty certain of the work before putting a brush to canvas,” he adds. Flaming prefers oils for their slow drying process and flexibility, which allow him to work sections longer and dial in on precision. “I try to tell a story with as few elements as possible,” he says.

For Flaming, those stories are constant. “There aren’t enough lifetimes to share all the ideas in my head,” he says. So he works on them one at a time, including his latest collection, “Westland,” at the Museum of the Southwest in Midland. “I stand on the shoulders of past Western artists, but I don’t wish to walk in their footsteps,” he says. “I’d rather blaze my own trail. That beautiful old horse has already been ridden.”

“I like to use everything as a possible substrate for my art,” says Dallas-area artist Jon Flaming, known for turning tattered books (opposite) and even 1950s beer cans (left) into canvases. Bull Rider (bottom) is part of his “Modern Cowboy” series, which reinterprets the Western art genre with “big, bold, epic figures,” he adds.

Art & Soul International modern and Pop art inspires a Houston-area home’s eye-catching interiors.

W R I T T E N BY C H R I S T I N E D E O R I O P H O T O G R A P H Y BY D O U G L A S F R I E D M A N

hile this home with a soaring, prow-like form punctuating a landscape east of Houston is a recent addition to its neighborhood, its genesis began decades ago—when the owner’s mother, a patron of the arts, began purchasing modern and Pop art pieces by up-and-coming artists destined to become household names. When those works were passed down to family several years ago, one son and his wife gave a design team the assignment of a lifetime: incorporate his share into a residence honoring the art while making a bold statement about modern design. “Deciding which pieces to put in the house was like shopping at an art gallery,” says interior designer Nina Magon.

In collaboration with her lead designer Nataly Montoya, Magon worked within a sleek shell designed by architect Rob Clark of Architectural Alliance, Inc. and built by Michael Jenkins of Jenkins Construction, Inc., adding finishes and creating a spare yet livable backdrop for works by Willem de Kooning, Jim Dine, Robert Kushner, Jim Sullivan and Andy Warhol, among others, as well as acquisitions made by the owners. In the living room, for example, one of de Kooning’s vibrant and loosely rendered depictions of the female form pops against a fireplace wall clad with dark porcelain slabs. An adjacent wall accommodates a diptych by Chinese-born American contemporary artist Hung Liu. “I wasn’t sure I wanted it in the new house,” the wife notes of the evocative piece, “but Nina hung it here and I love it now.”

Magon’s keen eye produced a similar result in the dining room, where she centered a more understated abstract work by American artist Philip Smith on the wide white wall behind the dining table. “It was one of the pieces that spoke to me most,” she recalls. “I said, ‘I want to see that when I walk into the house.’ ” The wife had similar convictions about Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Gray hanging above the main bedroom’s channel-tufted headboard wall. “My husband bought that for my birthday because I’ve always wanted a Marilyn,” she says. “I didn’t receive it until after we had chosen everything for the bedroom, but I think it looks like the space was designed around it.”

LUXESOURCE.COM

These aren’t the only stars in residence. Striking architectural details—including a monolithic stacked-stone wall that slices through the house— and a mix of classic modern furnishings also vie for the spotlight. In an intimate seating area just beyond the tower-like entry, a colorful rug anchors an arrangement of curvy, velvet-upholstered seats and nesting tables finished in black glass and ebony wood. In the adjacent living room, a brass lamp, custom leather benches and a pair of handforged iron coffee tables—one topped with Carrara marble, the other with glass—mingle with sleek, white-leather sectional sofas. And in the dining room, an illuminated sculpture David Cargill made for the husband’s family in the 1950s presides over an heirloom table and chairs. “It didn’t quite hang straight and was too small for the space,” Magon says of the unique light fixture, “but the client said, ‘This has to be the chandelier,’ so we created that step-up in the ceiling to really show it off.”

Equally thoughtful design moves define the kitchen, where the owners wanted “a clean, modern space with plenty of seating for entertaining,” Magon notes. Richly grained eucalyptus cabinetry panels conceal the refrigerator and adjacent walk-in pantry. A white porcelain slab countertop, which wraps seamlessly up onto the walls, creates a clean backdrop for yet more art—this time colorful zinnias by Puerto Rican painter Rafael Ferrer. A dining table crafted from a rounded slab of oak cantilevers out from the 16-foot-long island to accommodate a quintet of sculptural chairs that swivel to take in views of the property’s resort-style pool and grounds.

Those views were of utmost importance to the owners, who tasked Magon with creating seamless connections between interior and exterior. “One of the ways we accomplished this was with glass,” she says. “There is very little non-transparent wall space on the back side of the house, so from the moment you enter, there’s a strong connection from the front door all the way to the backyard.” Even in the main bathroom, where the soaking tub’s dramatic stage—wrapped top to bottom with gray-striped marble tile— could easily steal the show, Magon directed the eye to the outdoors, where a granite sculpture

by John Van Alstine stands sentinel, offering yet another reminder that this is a home shaped by a lifetime of passionate collecting.

A living room fireplace wall clad in dark porcelain slabs emphasizes Willem de Kooning’s Marilyn, which is suspended from the ceiling. The Roche Bobois Calisto sofa tops a custom Source Mondial rug.

Above: RH Thaddeus coffee tables anchor the living room’s leather sofas and channel-tufted custom benches, which wear Pindler faux leather. A diptych by Hung Liu and Jim Dine’s My Big Head with a Heart for a Nose, located near the dining room entry, infuse color and energy.

Opposite: Family heirlooms star in the dining room, which includes a client-owned table with chairs reupholstered in a red velvet by Symphony Mills, all sitting below an illuminated sculpture artist David Cargill made for the homeowner’s family decades ago. American artist Philip Smith’s Untitled (Mystic) adds visual interest to the expansive white wall.

Interior designer Nina Magon collaborated with Snaidero to create the white-laminate-andwood-veneered kitchen cabinetry, punctuated by a Rafael Ferrer painting.

The living room opens to an outdoor dining area and swimming pool located just beyond on the property’s resort-like grounds. RH’s Aviara aluminum rectangular dining table and Havana armchairs set a sophisticated tone. In the background is a trio of RH Paloma chaises.
