The beautiful Duncan Phyfe sofa is upholstered in a Clarence House striped silk – it’s a family antique from Maine and looks stunning in front of the staircase original to the apartment.
This colorful and eclectic room serves multiple purposes – it’s a dining room when the family is entertaining and a family room when not. The Hexagon Dining Table is one of Gorrivan’s designs and it expands into an octagon when open, seating ten. I love the color and texture variation on the Jansen Dining Chairs – upholstered in Kidd Leather from Edelman and leaf motif embroidery by Elitis.
The sweet banquette is covered in Bergamo multi-striped velvet and the lovely wallcoverings are custom tinted by China Seas.
The master bedroom is my favorite room in the apartment and I originally saw it on Erin’s blog – House of Turquoise. It’s richly sophisticated, but not stuffy. The color palette sets a soothing, tranquil tone. The chocolate brown tufted headboard looks great with the complimenting lavender tufted bench at the foot of the bed. The muted turquoise seagrass wallcovering is extraordinary.
This chaise – in the style of Jean Pascaud – is Gorrivan’s favorite reading nook.
The daughter’s bedroom is fit for a princess. The soft pink & white stripes in the canopy, bedding and Roman shade look great with the contrasting bold brown & white houndstooth bed-skirt and roll-neck pillow.
The focal point of Gorrivan’s young son’s room is the gorgeous 18th century French bed framed by a beautiful striped canopy. I’ve never seen a canopy in a little boy’s room, but it looks fabulous here.
