Shopping feels like an addiction these days— for better or worse. Five designers and design-store owners talk with editorial director Joanna Saltz about retail therapy— and why we’re all kind of doing it wrong. with or get the itch to change out a piece of art.
Jo Saltz: It feels as if people are always shopping for their homes. But why? What’s the draw? Paloma Contreras: If design is something that you absolutely love, your home will never be finished. You might get to a place where a room is finally “done,” but then you randomly find something you fall in love
Amy Kehoe: Shopping for one’s home is so emotional. When people find something—if it’s curated in a way that speaks to them— they’re usually going to find a place for it, even if they don’t have one. A lot of people, myself included, just love the thrill of the hunt, and collecting things to make one’s home feel really layered and personal.
we are, where we are in our lives, and to be that canvas. If you’re coming from that place, it isn’t so much about shopping. It’s about feeling that your home is really reflecting you. Paloma: It becomes your refuge. Jo: Do you find that people over-shop for their homes? Ware M. Porter: Oh yeah! Mac Hoak: And we like that.
Paulette: I really feel conviction about shifting the paradigm around shopping to the creative experience, Jo: It’s an endorphin hit, right? and to an investment. Because Amy: Exactly! we’re living in a time where consuming is kind of a bad Paulette Cole: I think of home word. It’s not aligned with the as a mirror of ourselves. We environment and who we want our homes to reflect who need to be. We’ve been focusing on trying to bring the Amy Kehoe customer into @nickeykehoe being more of a participant: They’re voting with their dollars. They’re co-creating. Jo: Do you think there’s a future in which everyone invests in good pieces rather than disposable ones?

changed: A consumer would come in and want an inexpensive (or, more recently, disposable) piece. But in the last two or three years, I feel like we’ve gone back to a long-term appreciation for what we’re going to spend money on. Ware: I’ve got a really young married couple for clients,

and something they said really struck a chord with me: “I would rather have one really good thing and build this over time than to just have everything done.” It might take them three years to get it all, but they want real quality. Paloma: What’s happening now is a sort of reaction to this span of the past howevermany years in which we’ve become spoiled by having instant access to anything and everything under the sun. There are online marketplaces where you search for a chair and there are 5,000 results, but there’s no curating, no personal connection. Now people want things to have meaning, and they want to connect with the people who are presenting these pieces, and learn about the artisans.
Paloma Contreras @shoppalomaandco
Jo: Just by virtue of something being chosen by someone whose taste I trust, I want to buy it. Mac: What we’ve seen is that even as the opportunities to find things have evolved, there’s still a real interest in going out and finding, seeing, touching. Brick-and-mortars complement what’s happening on the web. They’re not exclusive—both can flourish. People love getting out and seeing things in person.
Mac Hoak @mecox gardens
MECOX, MAC’S HOME STORE THAT HE ORIGINALLY OPENED IN SOUTHAMPTON, NEW YORK, NOW HAS EIGHT LOCATIONS.
Ware: When I opened my store in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2010, it was a total expression of everything I love under one roof. We wanted to give people an experience. Amy: What’s really interesting about expressing yourself in your shop is that, as the years go by, you can’t keep selling the same things. Of course, there are tried-andtrue classics, but nobody wants to go out and see the same thing in three different places in their town!
Paulette Cole @abccarpet andhome
Mac: If you don’t adapt and grow or change in this environment, you die. Jo: It’s like in media—I want to see different points of view. I want to see magazines with fun, great, new, interesting ideas. And to
see things within them that I won’t see anywhere else. Mac: I want everyone to do well. Paloma: And now I want to go out and shop!

want more of it. And whether you’re into clean lines or organized chaos, a wall of shelving displaying treasured belongings all in their own places is the visual equivalent of ASMR for most of us. “It’s important to think about the depth of your shelving,” says designer Natalie Myers, who recommends shelves at least 10" to 12" deep for stacks of plates or books, and 6" to 9" deep if they’re just to display ceramics and leaning artworks. Select built-ins or a removable model depending on your priorities: “Sophistication and permanence are almost always costlier than stand-alone,” says designer Susan Yeley. “But you can take stand-alone shelves with you to your next home!”
Floating Best for: “Those times when you’re trying to preserve sight lines,” says architect Emily Farnham. “I frequently do them in kitchens above the countertops, and in a bathroom where I want the space to feel open.” The cost: Shelfology and Semihandmade make floating shelves for as little as $100. Or go custom with a contractor: This requires the wall to be opened (to install the hardware) and then patched if you don’t want to see the brackets, says Myers.
In a Hudson Valley, New York, home, GRT Architects used floating shelves and cabinets to animate the walls.

These give a basic plank a little more style.
How They Stay Afloat A cleat or peg attaches to the wall (if store-bought) or is mounted inside the wall (if custom), and the shelf slides over it.

Built-In Best for: Homeowners (not renters). “Built-ins become a permanent part of the architecture, so they imbue a sense of staying put,” says Yeley. The cost: About $10,000 baseline for custom, but Yeley suggests asking for adjustable shelving—which is easier to produce instead of placing every shelf permanently—if you’re on a budget. Installation tip: Hire a cabinetmaker to craft your vision, and review shop drawings before the built-ins are fabricated, says Myers. “Once the custom pieces are made, you can’t return them if you decide the size or scale is off.”
How to Hack Built-Ins 1. Buy a few Billy bookshelves from Ikea and anchor them flush to the wall. 2. Using a hammer and finishing nails or wood glue, add baseboards along the bottom and trim to cover gaps where the top and sides meet the wall. 3. Paint the shelves and molding to match the room.

tough love: It’s got nothing on the test kitchen at Williams Sonoma’s San Francisco headquarters. A team of chefs tests some 25 food products and 20 recipes every week. With a design inspired by Auguste Escoffier’s kitchen for the Ritz in Paris—a favorite of Williams Sonoma founder Chuck Williams—it’s always photo-ready for events with guest chefs. No inch is without purpose, a lesson its manager, Isabelle English, thinks all homeowners should learn: “Don’t let the daily functionality of your kitchen be compromised to achieve a certain design aesthetic,” she urges.

ECADES BEFORE SHE
became a designer, Laura Hodges discovered the joy of shopping from local vendors as a child growing up in England and traveling with her family. “You realize that there are all these gorgeous things that are handmade and really tell a story,” says Hodges, who worked for designers Jamie Drake and Thomas Jayne before moving to Baltimore to open her interior design practice, Laura Hodges Studio, in 2016. She built her Domain, Hodges’s business creating store in Baltimore. globally influenced spaces that reflect her clients’ passions. Last June, Hodges translated her knack for treasure hunting into a brick-andmortar store, Domain, where she stocks goods from nearby makers. It’s a manifestation of her lifelong interest in sustainable design, and commitment to supporting ethical, fair-trade businesses. “We have a responsibility to not only improve a space but also improve the lives of people living there,” says the shop owner and designer. “So we really try to pay attention to all that goes into it.”

Five Easy Ways to Decorate More Responsibly Sustainability is everyone’s problem. Here’s how to create a home that’s kinder to the whole planet.
1. Repurpose. Period. “One thing we always ask ourselves is, ‘Does this piece need to be made new?’ ” says Hodges. For this family room, vintage accessories were styled into built-in bookshelves.
2. Buy local. It cuts down on energy used in shipping and it helps support small businesses. Here, the basket, throw, and side table came from Hodges’s locally sourced shop, Domain.
3. Donate what you can. Hodges urges renovators to look for local organizations, like Habitat ReStores, that accept cabinets, rugs, furniture, or building materials: “People think Goodwill is just for clothes, but it will take in more than that.”

5. Learn your labels. When selecting wooden pieces, like for the custom bed in this small-scale bedroom, Hodges looks for an FSC-certified purveyor or wood from a “rapidly renewable forest,” which will grow back sooner.
PHOTOGRAPHS : JENNIFER HUGHES (TOP), HELEN NORMAN (BOTTOM 2)
4. Know the company ethics. Look for retailers that take responsibility for the whole process behind their goods—and the people who make them. “Keep an eye out for things labeled as fair trade,” Hodges advises. And if it’s something made nearby, visit the studio or factory.

The Secret Life of an Antiques Impresario In the private world of John Rosselli, a lifetime’s worth of collections serves as inspiration—and makes the case for embracing a bit of clutter. By Emma Bazilian
“This living room is an eclectic collection of the things I love—blue and white, art, and books,” says antiques dealer John Rosselli.

antiquarian and shopkeeper John Rosselli steals away to his home away from home. In the pin-drop-quiet living room, overlooking a leafy Manhattan garden and nearby church, he might spend a few hours perusing books, catching up on correspondence, or riffling through a chest of drawers filled with collected objets.

from the commotion of New York City, is actually just a short walk from the Upper East Side apartment he shares with his wife, the equally renowned designer Bunny Williams. “To be honest, I bought it on a whim!” laughs Rosselli, recalling how, more than 20 years ago, his nephew—who then lived in the 19th-century building—suggested he take a look at the apartment upstairs, despite Rosselli not actually being in the market for a new one. “I went to see it anyway, immediately fell in love, and said, ‘Well, I’ll have it!’ ” In the ensuing years, Rosselli has transformed the space into his own private gallery of sorts, filling it with collection upon collection of everything from 19th-century Chinese porcelain plates to animalhead walking sticks and miniature landscapes. (He notes it also helps keep his and Williams’s home from being completely overrun with his antiques.) “It’s my escape, no question,” he says. “When you’re sitting there in the afternoon sun, looking out over the tableau of the nearby roofs and bell tower, there’s nothing more wonderful.”
Curtains were made from antique crewel fabric remnants found in a Paris flea market.

Rosselli, pictured, opened his first antiques shop more than 50 years ago.
Painted in a color that Rosselli calls “Nancy Lancaster yellow,” the dining room walls are covered in blue-and-white plates—reminiscent of his shop’s famous porcelain room. The walls are covered in burlap—“an inexpensive trick of the trade that makes hanging (and rehanging) art easy.”
“Let your collections take over surfaces. There may not be space, but you’ll be surrounded by inspiration.” —John Rosselli A midcentury floral painting hangs above a 19th-century Chinese jar.

“IT’S LIKE A MICROCOSM OF MARRIAGE, RIGHT?” Ryan Turf, the president of furniture-and-decor brand CB2, is trying to describe the process of collaborating with his wife, Jessica, the principal of Jessica Turf Design. “She’s in the business, and I’m in the business, and we’re very passionate. We have certain opinions. But it’s fun, too, because we’re always coming up with new ideas.” Six years ago, the pair and their baby daughter left their Chicago loft to find some breathing room in the suburbs. “We looked at probably 30 homes,” Jessica says, “and the architecture and the details of this one—well, it’s a 100-year-old home.” This meant floor-to-ceiling windows and a large fireplace in the living room, and Ryan adores the plaster molding, the “really beautiful, old things that I think are very, very hard to replicate, if at all, with new construction,” he says. The Turfs decided on an overall color palette of black and white, and remixed the house’s layout so it worked for their lifestyle. For example: The window-wrapped former sunroom, which visitors see as soon as they walk in the front door, is now the dining room, and the former dining room is now for playing pool. “We love to entertain, so we’ll have dinner parties and open all the windows, and it’s like you’re eating outside,” Jessica says. The billiards room is anchored by a vintage Michael Heltzer pool table from Ryan’s mother, former CEO of Crate & Barrel Barbara

Turf. “At the window are these two vintage patent-leather chairs, and in between them is this CB2 marble cocktail table, which I absolutely love,” Ryan says. “That’s what CB2 is all about, mixing high and low, and different looks.”
So how much of their decor is from the Chicago-based brand? “There are a few pieces in every room,” Jessica admits. The kitchen is stocked with CB2 glasses, dishware, and kid-friendly swiveling stools. “The kids always hang out there, and Ryan cooks, so I sit there while he’s cooking and talk to him and hang out.” Jessica says. (“My dad was the cook when I was growing up,” Ryan says. And “she can’t cook, so it’s about survival for us.”) The Turfs describe their family’s style as “modern, edgy, and eclectic.” So while Ryan’s favorite space, the living room, is filled with beautiful objects collected on their travels, the white velvet settees are also stain-treated. “We even eat sushi on them,” the matriarch notes. “Some nights, we have dance parties in every room.”

Wyoming, became a getaway for the glitterati, it was the Wild West. A little white 1954 house near the rodeo in town “was built by a milkman who used to deliver milk with a horse and sleigh in the winters,” says homeowner Christian Burch, who, with his partner, John Frechette, bought the property in 2017 and fixed it up. “It reminded me of my grandmother’s—even the cabinetry smells like my grandmother’s,” he says. “It’s hard to find a house in Jackson that hasn’t been bulldozed and redone, or rented out to ski bums for the last 40 years, but has a decent character and history, and stuff like that.” They’d been eyeing it for a while.

Road, Manny (both published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers), and Frechette own three local retail stores and one chocolate shop. “I took a sabbatical from teaching to open up Mountain Dandy, our home and gentlemen’s store, and never went back,” Burch recalls. Their wares run the gamut from a circa-1910 Nebraskan bank vault to cutting boards made from fallen trees in Tuscany. No surprise, then, that the couple’s two-bedroom, two-bath home is filled to the brim. “Everything has a story. I’ve never measured a thing for my house. It’s a collection, and if I like it, it’s going to work,” Burch says.
The home exudes a homespun splendor, featuring the kind of DIY projects that preceded Pinterest: built-in maple cabinetry and pegboard
walls installed by the former homeowner, both of which were kept. “For a milkman in the ’50s, what he built was very chic,” says Burch. He and Frechette updated the bathrooms, pulled out wood paneling, and laid down smoked white-oak flooring that was oxidized black. It’s all a canvas for displaying their expressive belongings, many cherrypicked with a purpose on their frequent shopping road trips across the country. Take the living room, with its voluptuous 1950s sofa that’s part mohair, part velvet, and a Dijon mustard yellow all over, which they got for $200 in Salt Lake City. The wall that spans the length of the room combines keepsakes with fine art. “I like galleries,” says Burch. “They let everything you have shine and be the star.”

She tapped Christina van Hengel as a partner to run daily operations, stripped the space down to its industrial bones, and set up a collective-style store with everything from clothing and textiles to ceramics and leather goods, with several exclusive collaborations. The most important criteria, according to Williams? “It has to be something I just love.” —Hadley Keller

Ribbons of Farrow & Ball’s brilliant St Giles Blue wound up the three-story staircase of her 19thcentury farmhouse in New York’s Catskill Mountains, enlivening corridors that had once been a nearly black gray. “Before, the house was dark and austere. All the light fixtures were just bare bulbs,” says designer Sean Scherer. “I wanted to create a space that made you happy—that lifted your

toned wood furnishings were chosen to offset the home’s vivid walls; heaps of well-worn vintage rugs (“for me, the more beaten down, the better,” he says) soften each room’s edges. Scherer supplemented the homeowner’s furniture and art with finds from his own collection. After all, Kabinett & Kammer (Scherer’s shop that stocks an assortment of antiques, art, and other curiosities) is where the two first met. A longtime customer, she asked him if he would simply “create the Sean vibe” in her new place. Inspired by the woman’s personality—“She is an amazingly intense person. Quite brilliant. And really creative. She has a wicked sense of humor,” the designer says—Scherer infused the space with a sense of play, often to spectacular effect: American flags, purchased at a tag sale, line the walls of the basement stairwell; on the top floor, a bedroom is draped floor to ceiling in floral curtains to
create the feeling of living inside a lush, blossom-laden tent. Despite the abundance of antiques and 19th-century architecture, the home feels fresh—cheeky, even. “There’s a sailboat toleware lamp in the TV lounge,” Scherer points out. “That’s the kind of thing somebody would’ve found and put in without thinking, Does this go or not? It’s about creating the feeling that things just happened naturally over time.” V ISI T T H E STOR E
