Pure Palette
An art lover's retreat in upstate New York pairs modern art with salvage in a pristine setting.

A weathered coffee table and a vintage rug balances the more modern elements of the living room. A metal pig sculpture adds a whimsical touch. Turkish rugs were bleached, cut up, and sewn together in patchwork fashion. When a space has a neutral color scheme, even the most ordinary items stand out, such as vibrant veggies nestled in a galvanized tub. A horse portrait makes a bold statement along a simple board-and-batten wall. Beneath, a cast-iron pedestal console table anchors the vignette. Plumped-up pillows and sumptuous paisley bedding give the bedroom and easy elegance. Lavender, blues and oranges hues conjure the palette of the South of France. A contemporary chandelier crafted from tiers of hand-strung translucent shells makes an airy counterpoint to the steel tabletop. Homeowner Terry with her beloved French bulldog, Zoey. A butcher-block utility table with casters doubles as a rolling kitchen island and keeps everything within easy reach. Above the hearth, black and white wall ceramics by potter Tim Clark create dramatic contrast. Alongside the sofa, a midcentury sculptor’s pedestal table with rotating platform can be adjusted up or down. Machinist stools surround a retro drafting table repurposed for casual dining. His and hers sinks make it easy to share a bathroom.

No Place Like Home
Purposeful and meaningful pieces united disparate styles that give a small apartment a big dose of charm.

A Belgian grain sack with its seams removed runs along the farmhouse table. A giant clock constructed from a bistro tabletop rounds out the gallery wall. A section of brick framed by a walnut-drying rack, and a white couch that seems to recede into the light are among the skillful ways Melisa suggests space. Favorite books and objects are gathered into a vintage wooden tray on a farmhouse table trimmed to coffee-table height. A marigold throw adds a bold stroke of pigment against the brick wall. A salvaged grain bin makes a handy couch-side storage while providing a staging spot for a variety of seasonal items. The shelving turned sideboard offers a display area for showcasing an ever-changing array of items. Melisa had an old commercial baker’s rack reconstructed to half its size by her welder; she added barnwood shelves and kept the casters. Subway tile with dark gray grout and glass block make every day feel like a stay at a boutique hotel. A weathered crate shows off delicate hydrangeas and chamomile blossoms. Melisa’s grandmother’s wood bowl, renewed with some sanding, makes a handy vessel for chunky knit washcloths and a bath brush. Though small, the bathroom is replete with modern updates. In lieu of nightstands, Melissa uses a pair of logs that have rayed with time. Metal letters spell the family’s name. The apartment’s tall ceilings can accommodate the tufted shelter bed with footboard. The neutral palette of linens is kept lively with the variety of textures.

Bold and Beautiful
A traditional home gets a lively makeover with gemstone hues, offbeat art, and quirky accents.

The living room cocktail table offers a spacious staging area for a pink dominoes box, stacks of books and other favorite items. The focal point in Kathi and Ray Fidel's foyer is a 5-foot-high mixed-media collage created by California artist James Verbicky using international currency. In the master bedroom, a graceful arched raffia-upholstered headboard frames a collection of striped and lattice-look pillows. A fringed, patterned rug brings art underfoot. Shimmering mercury glasses and votive add touch of glamour the bathroom A teal blue glass chandelier adds an unexpected dash of color up high. A bunny painting inspired the room’s palette. An artisan-made light fixture incorporating natural wood and shells replaced a formal chandelier in the dining room. When they redecorated, the Fidels kept their old sofa but spiced it up with pillows and throws. The lamps’ black shades harmonize with the deep-toned armchairs nearby. In the kitchen, electric-blue ottoman- style stools welcome guests to lounge at the counter. Neutral cabinetry, original to the house, makes a seamless backdrop for touches of color to pop ouT. Mixing patchwork quilts and brightly patterned pillows creates a“collected over time” look. In the dining room, an exotic rug sets off the dark wicker chairs. By keeping things simple and livable, the Fidels have created a space that feels real, not contrived. Even when not in use on the table, the glasses earn their keep as striking objects lined up on shelves A collection of shimmering crystals lines a console that is part mantel, part table. Striped towels and zigzag rainbow rug add zip to an all-white bath. In a neutral space like this, it’s easy to dramatically change out the look of the room simply by playing with the accessories.

East Coast meet West Coast
Classic New England furniture finds a new life and a new home in a California farmhouse.

The kitchen eating area shines with the simplicity of the antique Windsor chairs and Shaker table. The quartet of light pendants has a vintage feel with a modern twist. Uniting modern white cabinetry with the graphic black hood and island gives the kitchen a sophisticated contemporary farmhouse style. The brass chandelier, which came with the house, is in sync with the sleek design. A vintage trunk, cabinet and chairs provide streamline and stylish storage in the hallway leading from the front of the home to the stairway way. A canvas of blue and white cups heralds Linda's collections found throughout her home. The modern upholstered bed in a neutral color answers Linda’s preference for a clean and contemporary direction. The cool blue and white bedding contributes to the serene space sense of calm and elegance. A dog portrait by one of Linda’s favorite artists, William Wegman, famous for his photographs and paintings of Weimaraner dogs, stands guard above a stack of little wooden trunks. “We talked about painting out the family room black fireplace, but Neal never wavered. He liked the masculine contrast to the pale colors-creating an interesting tension and edginess.” The designer recalls. By changing the pillows and refreshing the wooden frame chairs cushion fabric, the good bones of all the pieces continue to perform perfectly. The stainless leather ottoman adds a lighter more modern touch. The white cotton slipcovers on the sofas are over 10 years old. A bench from Thomas Moser and artwork by William Wegman conspire to make a quiet yet elegant statement in the entryway. Built-ins offer the perfect stage for Linda to display some of her extensive spongeware collection, which she has been collecting for thirty years. “It was an inexpensive farmhouse pottery back in the 1800s and early 1900s.” She says, adding “It’s very much East Coast.” The painting by artist Janet Rickus is one of many Linda and Neal display in their home. “We treated the antique pieces like sculpture, silhouetting them against the bright shiplap and paneling so they would stand out,” explains designer Janet Lohman. Newly reupholstered chairs keep company to an antique table. Woven baskets bring an organic touch and make a relaxed counterpoint to the formal setting. Of her pottery, Linda says she collects based on how a piece makes her feel. It’s evident that many have struck a favorable chord. “I have so many, so I rotate them!” She admits. “Some of the items remain together but installed in a new pattern.”Another favorite still life by Janet Rickus adds a vibrant note to the space. The living room welcomes with its crisp blue and white palette. Shiplap and wood paneling instill a relax mood while modern light pendants inject a touch of modernity to the otherwise classic furnishings. A pair of ottoman adds structure and extra seating to the room. Gold fittings add a touch of luxury to the soaking tub. The pure white and simplicity of the setting confers a spa-like mood of the master bathroom.

DIY maverick Kate Keesee furnishes her SoCal home on a shoestring proving that you don't need a lot of money to have a fabulous and comfortable home.

Wood in all shapes, religious pieces, and anything that speaks to her heart, are among Kate’s favorite items to hunt for at thrift shops. Kate creates all of her wall art pieces by assembling pieces of rescued wood and various hardware parts - resulting in artisanal assemblages. Washed in white, the fireplace is well equipped for chilly nights. .” Barely-there window treatments allow intricate pieces, like the tasseled wall hanging to take center stage. Objects with patina and meaning pair well with frilly greenery along the mantel. The headboard was built using leftover scrap fence wood and made tall enough to accommodate standing pillows and a framed picture. A small table keeps inspiring books handy for bedtime reading. Kate wanted to work with what she had and removed the cabinets doors and scalloped wood edges using a jigsaw; now she has the open shelving she always wanted for a fraction of the cost of buying new. A leather pillow brings a rustic note to the delicate bedroom setting. Handmade macrame hanging from a salvage piece of wood. Macramé is a common thread throughout Kate’s decor; inexpensive and relatively simple to make by knotting string in patterns, it fills walls with an organic, homespun quality A macramé hanging is unexpected and flirty as a backdrop to workaday kitchen tools. A simple found desk freshened with white paint and a Mexican Equipale barrel-style chair draped in macramé create small office space in the living room. A small ladder is at once useful and charming as both a place to hold a quilt and hat while also serving as humble wall decor. A sliding barn door constructed from salvaged wood adds a textural rustic note to the living room.
