It’s said that certain genetic traits tend to skip a generation. Red hair, for example, or color blindness. Or, based on personal experience, a strong affinity for floral chintz. Born in the waning days of the 1980s to an interior decorator mother whose preferred palette (in furnishings as well as fashion) was black, white, and beige, I spent many of my childhood weekends at grandparents’ houses, developing an interest in activities perhaps more suited to a retiree than a four-year-old girl—knitting and crocheting, watching early MGM musicals, bidding on antique dolls at auction. As the years went on, my parents watched, perplexed, as I insisted on outfitting my bedroom with Laura Ashley florals and toile; as a teenager, instead of sneaking out at night or piercing my nose, I took up needlepointing and amassed an enviable Lilly Pulitzer collection. “That looks like something your grandmother would wear,” my mother would say as I tried on a frill-necked sweater; I took it as a compliment. What proved most surprising was the fact that my fascination with this decidedly unfashionable aesthetic endured into adulthood—and that I wasn’t alone. While the growing power of social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest had overwhelmingly resulted in the embrace of a certain white-walled, minimalist-meets-midcentury aesthetic among its largely millennial audience, a ruffled rebellion was stirring on the fringes. Its members posted images of decorated-with-a-capital-D rooms by Sister Parish

FROM THE ARCHIVES OPPOSITE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Mario Buatta’s New York apartment was a showcase for his countless collections, from dog paintings to needlepoint pillows—topped off, of course, with plenty of bows and chintz. Mark Hampton mastered the balance of elegance and ebullience in a Park Avenue dining room. Filled with priceless art and unpretentious handicraft, Gloria Vanderbilt’s ultra-personal homes were an enchanting representation of the things that she loved. Sister Parish elevated old-fashioned Americana in her own Dark Harbor, Maine, house.

“A lot of times, you see linear florals in dining rooms or foyers, but I thought it would be more interesting to do it in a living room,” says Jenny Holladay of Summer Thornton Design, who used Schumacher’s Pyne Hollyhock wallpaper in her Chicago townhouse. The curtains are in Lange Glazed Linen. OPPOSITE: Brimming with country charm, Rita Konig’s former New York apartment features an explosion of fuchsias in the bedroom. A hand-painted botanical wallcovering transforms this Connecticut living room by Ashley Whittaker into a year-round garden. Simple shapes and geometric motifs—like a 19th-century spoon-back chair, bone-inlaid mirror, and trimmed Roman shades—temper the floral’s sweetness.

An English garden’s worth of rose-covered fabric envelops a bedroom in a stately San Francisco home, where Alison Caccoma curated a mix of period antiques, reproductions and finds from the client’s travels.

A skirted dressing table makes even the most harried morning routine feel delightfully indulgent. Swing-out arms on a striped vanity by Barrie Benson open to reveal hidden storage space. OPPOSITE: Swathed in frills of frothy pink silk, the kidneyshaped dressing table in Alice Naylor-Leyland’s bedroom (designed by Flora Soames) is the epitome of feminine glamour. 17

Antique tubs and sinks—or charming reproductions—make even a brand-new bath feel perfectly time-worn. CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The rounded curves of a vintage-style tub complement the straight lines of checks and stripes on the floor and walls of Yasamin Feehily-Ghazizadeh’s Victorian house. Lizzie Cullen Cox chose a generously sized clawfoot tub and serene Fern Tree wallpaper by Schumacher to create a relaxing retreat. Citrus Garden wallpaper, based on a 1947 design by Josef Frank, makes a whimiscal wainscoting for the original antique sink in Grace Mitchell’s sunny powder room. Redouté floral prints hang above a vintage hand-painted basin in a country inn decorated by Studio Alexandra. OPPOSITE: “I like taking big, full-on traditional designs and giving them a modern tweak,” says designer Samantha Todhunter, who used Schumacher’s Pyne Hollyhock in the bathroom of her 1707 house. A scalloped mirror and lampshades play up a youthful angle.

‘To these newly self-identified grandmillennials, it was a rallying cry; to others, it begged the question, Why? To me, at least, the enduring appeal of traditionalism lies in its timelessness.’ – Emma Bazilian, Charm School ‘From stripes to florals, chintz to checks, Schumacher has created some of the world’s most recognizable – and beloved – patterns.’ – House Beautiful ‘Schumacher ... celebrates the creative ways designers have used their most beloved prints over the years.’ – Monique Valeris, Good Housekeeping

on the cape

This classic Cape Cod shingled house on the waterfront looks like it has been there forever, but it was recently built by architects Shope Reno Wharton with the interior details and furnishings designed by Foley & Cox. The traditional exterior nestles naturally into the landscape, while the interior ushers in a more contemporary aesthetic with a modern sculptural shell-stone mantel and boldly scaled molding and trim details. The family’s art collection influenced the interiors, which act as a backdrop for paintings and sculpture juxtaposed with playful and welcoming furnishings. The intentional combination of the familiar with inventive and modern resulted in a seaside home with an updated sensibility.

OPPOSITE: Natural shingles, white trim, and blue hydrangea echo the classic elements of the Cape and contrast with the contemporary spirit inside.

OVERLEAF: The great room was designed for ample comfortable seating, with a Basse Terre sofa by Christian Liaigre and woven rattan chairs and ottomans by John Himmel. The floating shelves of black-lacquered steel from KGBL complement a painting by James Nares above the fireplace.

ABOVE: The family room seating area features a custom sofa in Janus & Cie indooroutdoor fabric; the vintage oak chairs are French art deco, designed by Andre Sornay.

OVERLEAF: In front of the house, the pool area is bordered by trees for privacy while the rear opens directly onto the bay.

In this contemporary house outside of Boston, designed by architects Shope Reno Wharton, Foley & Cox created interiors as a backdrop to the art collection. A retired Fortune 500 executive and his wife were ready for downsizing to a smaller home with an updated aesthetic, bespoke detailing, and a streamlined environment. The modern architectural elements and crisp blackand-white details provide a clean canvas for their furnishings and collection of paintings and sculpture. The end result: a vibrant home that reflects a new chapter for the clients.

124 125 186 OPPOSITE: A wall of neon-colored Marilyn Monroe portraits by Andy Warhol creates a dramatic entry, with a view into the living room. The black-and-white calligraphic rug is from Doris Leslie Blau.

‘Michael Cox and Mary Foley founded their design company in 2002, and 20 years later, the firm is still putting their trademark stamp – a mix of übergraciousness, deference to natural light and art, comfort – on residences around the world.’ – Architectural Digest ‘Foley & Cox delivers a look that is inviting, sophisticated and tailored to the client like a couture gown. In all cases, the firm applies an assured touch, combining tasteful colors, clean lines, and generous helpings of natural light for rooms that are charming and appropriate.’ – The Franklin Report ‘Vintage pieces from the Tyrol dialogue with unique designs acquired in Los Angeles and treasures from the Paris flea market. The art focuses on local creators and emerging talent. The result is a modern house, but with patina, elegant, but easy to live in.’ – Elle Decor Spain
