棕榈滩!藤!粉红色和绿色!把木槿!再想想,也许不是这样。“我们还没有看够了房子在棕榈滩oom-pah-pah ?”Marjorie Shushan asks. Never one for an insistent beat, this interior designer believes in the power of subtlety, in a buttery-soft atmosphere that leaves her clients feeling all wrapped up in a cashmere throw, preferably a beige one. "Peace, quiet and some luxury" is what she says most of us want. It does sound rather nice, doesn't it?
“我不知道这是多么豪华,”埃莉诺Woolems说,经过几个月的接触的面料设计师的签名,并在柔和的大床上醒来matelasse织物包围,从书珊城的秘密来源和雏鸟家具在洛杉矶。她和她的丈夫,詹姆斯,享受全年这些奢侈品;他们是全职residents-natives,在这个冬天的胜地。他是一个承包商构建和翻新住处;她一直在这里卖房地产15年。新6500平方英尺的房子里安静的北部为他们设计由建筑师托马斯·m·基尔霍夫的木星,佛罗里达州,与所有的家庭办公室和家庭房间和衣柜间,任何人都可以希望,和瑜伽的房间。但是,这只是一个白色的盒子。就会了解这种感受了埃莉诺Woolems描述:“有时你有什么在你的脑海中,你不知道那是什么,但你知道你不能做你自己。”
完善布局,橱柜和详细,Garrow Kedigian是在从纽约室内建筑师。他是一个新名字,我们中的许多人,肯定有人看。如此清楚地按下,如此完美的放在一起,他有一个模糊的爱德华七世时代,奥布里比尔兹利的空气。挑剔的年轻人做了一个好伙伴的高度集中书珊城。他们分享房间的音高辨别力的礼物;他们的眼睛是如此微妙,他们不断上升振动,不穿透我们其余的人,但可以改变这一切。
埃莉诺Woolems看到了粉蓝色的新房子。在书珊城的曼哈顿办公室,她第一次会议上提出了粉蓝色,但也是另一个面料设计师已经储蓄这样一天。大多数设计师开始地毯,但是书珊城喜欢”找到的主要结构和工作。”There's always some new one on her mind that she can imagine spinning an entire house around. Here was one of those fabrics and the perfect house for it: a hearty natural linen decorated with ivory crewelwork in a tree of life pattern. Full of character, it somehow felt contemporary and traditional, sophisticated and handmade, beachy and not, all at the same time. Powder blue no longer seemed like such a good idea. "People should use a decorator to go beyond their expectations and get something they would never imagine," says Eleanor Woolems, who quickly realized that when Shushan said, "Trust me," she had to take a deep breath and do just that. "Why have a decorator if you're not going to let her do it?"
这个项目最有趣的方面之一是它没有长期的结果,曲折,洲际搜索古董。有一些,但华丽的氛围更多来自高质量传统furniture-Shushan信徒保罗费和玫瑰Tarlow称的梅尔罗斯-主要来自颜色和织物。书珊城绒线刺绣和其他用品开始在客厅里;在图书馆使用绳绒织物;排列这些matelasse床绞刑的条纹,条纹纯粹在饭厅的窗户;由挂门帘,把一切全圆之间的起居室和餐厅里,面对条纹纯粹的一侧和生命之树绒线刺绣。最接近她经典的棕榈滩是亚麻印花在沙发上看,虽然幸福安静,绝对不是热带的学校。和谐的感觉从一个房间到房间是惊人的。“马约莉有一个全面的方法,”Kedigian说。“绳绒线在这个房间的枕头会影响她对隔壁房间的想法。 She has an amazing ability to understand the whole."
很难命名一个设计师更多的考虑了科学的中性多年来,回到她的天在洛杉矶Kalef Alaton。“如果你开始一个中立的调色板,你可以介绍你想要尽可能多的颜色,“书珊城说。“颜色有它自己的生命。如果你开始与颜色,你已经在那里了。”She makes every stop along the grisaille spectrum, from beige to gray. The most intriguing demonstration of her palette is the library, which is anchored by a plaid cotton drugget in a color called pigeon. (Think dove, if you prefer.) With it Shushan used four different greige fabrics and had the walls striéd in a driftwood color. James Woolems can hardly be extracted from the room, his wife reports.
没有藤,没有告诉棕榈树,而是clean-lined铁和鸡翅木家具与一个强大的图形质量,保持这些飘渺的房间漂走。但这都是真正的好点。“细节是如此简单。但如此复杂,”埃莉诺Woolems说。纯铜帘棒,如果你仔细看,风在角落和连接的窗户,引入强大的水平线,增加了结构的房间。你可以整天盯着custom-woven, custom-colored缝边在图书馆,在四个墨镜的难以描述noncolor。梳妆台凳子上的15-inch-long黄金边缘有些豪华但不喊。每个房间都受益于那些锋利的佛罗里达阴影Kedigian漂亮的分配模型,门和壁炉。结果是一个房子,书珊城说,“复杂的和持久的。”
在他们两个之间,Woolemses建造,翻新,出售或至少见过最伟大的棕榈海滩的房子。所以它不能掉以轻心的时候说,“没有其他房子我们想要的。”
