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

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

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

The James’ busy little kitchen appears more airy than cramped thanks to sleek fixtures, bright blue walls and a 12-foot window. Textures and whimsical touches keep the all-white dining room interesting. An old medical cabinet keeps tableware handy. The shelving turned sideboard offers a display area for showcasing an ever-changing array of items. 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. A marigold throw adds a bold stroke of pigment against the brick wall. 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. 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 weathered crate shows off delicate hydrangeas and chamomile blossoms. Melisa had an old commercial baker’s rack reconstructed to half its size by her welder; she added barnwood shelves and kept the casters. When Melisa spied the shelving unit at a junkyard, she knew she’d found the piece she needed the size and color were perfect for her living room. Melisa’s grandmother’s wood bowl, renewed with some sanding, makes a handy vessel for chunky knit washcloths and a bath brush. In lieu of nightstands, Melissa uses a pair of logs that have rayed with time. Metal letters spell the family’s name. Though small, the bathroom is replete with modern updates.

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

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. A teal blue glass chandelier adds an unexpected dash of color up high. A bunny painting inspired the room’s palette. Shimmering mercury glasses and votive add touch of glamour the bathroom A butteRfly portrait was the inspiration for the guest bedroom.The romantic white cane bed featuring hand carved details has a decidedly feminine air. 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. A collection of shimmering crystals lines a console that is part mantel, part table. The living room cocktail table offers a spacious staging area for a pink dominoes box, stacks of books and other favorite items. 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. Mixing patchwork quilts and brightly patterned pillows creates a“collected over time” look. Even when not in use on the table, the glasses earn their keep as striking objects lined up on shelves 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. 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. An artisan-made light fixture incorporating natural wood and shells replaced a formal chandelier in the dining room.

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

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. 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. The antique dining room table that once belonged in a French bakery and the Shaker-style white woven chairs, assembled by Neal from a kit many years ago, have followed the couple from house to house. “Luckily, many of the pieces we bought years ago have withstood the test of time,” Linda notes. The Sputnik-style chandelier casts a retro-modern glow. The space adjacent to the dining room was originally meant to be a wine room. However, it wasn’t temperature controlled so Linda and Neal made it into a handsome and practical bar cleverly outfitted with a built-in credenza and shelves. 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. The black fireplace wall in the master bedroom sitting area, another feature original to the home, adds a graphic punch and dynamism to the subdued palette. The sofa and chair have been reupholstered and a new textural rug added to soften the sleek coffee table. Newly reupholstered chairs keep company to an antique table. Woven baskets bring an organic touch and make a relaxed counterpoint to the formal setting. 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. “We treated the antique pieces like sculpture, silhouetting them against the bright shiplap and paneling so they would stand out,” explains designer Janet Lohman. 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. 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. Both areas of the open living space are clearly defined by their own color scheme yet easily flow from one to the other thanks to unifying warm woods and cool white accents. A bench from Thomas Moser and artwork by William Wegman conspire to make a quiet yet elegant statement in the entryway.

Common Threads
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.

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. 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 Wood wall planks from a local lumberyard are fashioned into a backsplash. 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. Nearly everything shown in the neutral-based living room was either sourced at the Goodwill or assembled from salvaged wood. Kate constructed the sliding wood door from old fence slats. A rose motif wallpaper, dream catcher and a tapestry-style rug bring a romantic boho vibe to the guest bedroom.a Objects with patina and meaning pair well with frilly greenery along the mantel. 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. A sliding barn door constructed from salvaged wood adds a textural rustic note to the living room. 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 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. In the eating area small round table allows for everyday meals. Narrow handmade wood shelves and a makeshift ladder supply clever storage.
