nesting. Topping my baby-prep list, however, wasnt
a bassinet or a haul of diapersthough indeed I
needed bothbut an antique sideboard. Or a Victorian
breakfront. A midcentury credenza? What I needed was a
big, beautiful storage piece for my dining room.
Allow me to explain. Like most New Yorkers, I live in an
apartment. And though the rooms are gracious and the
natural light ample, the kitchen is a galley. Who cares about
cabinet space? I reasoned when we moved in. I certainly
dont need room to store snacks I certainly shouldnt be eat-
ing. There was just enough space for what I consider kitchen
essentials, from vintage demitasse spoons to Bundt pans
to artisan-made coee mugs.
I panicked when I found out we were having another boy.
Suddenly I was haunted by visions of gangly teens, one
drinking milk from the cartonfridge door ajarthe other
riing through the single cabinet of dry goods in search of
somethinganything!to eat. Ive heard the stories from
teen-boy parents: the grocery lists, the grocery bills, the
constant, insatiable appetites. But with deep troves of cus-
tard cups, cocktail stirrers, and bamboo steamers dragged
home from China, I had built a kitchen for the Galloping
Gourmet, not the Guardians of the Galaxy.
In my pregnant psychosis, I became obsessed with freeing
up space in the kitchen for Doritosor at least baby bottles.
An elegant solution, I gured, would be to purchase a large
storage piece for the dining room, ideally an antique with
some gravitas to counteract the Ikea dining table. I found my
saving grace not at a New England antiques mall (always
my preferred shopping destination and my lifelong happy
place) but on Chairish, a website and app that sells vintage
decorbasically an antiques mall minus the 60-degree ther-
mostat and tureen of free coee.
My new love, a Federal-era sideboard made with book-
matched ame mahogany, hails from Mary Kays Furniture
near Baltimore. Thanks, Mary Kay! In it live the daily
essentials: linen napkins, taper candles, and matches, plus
formal chargers, ne silver, and monster-size platters
the kind of platters on which I imagine Teddy and Whit will
someday make after-school nachos. In the meantime, the
working locks and key will keep them both away from the
whisper-thin Lobmeyr coupes. And those matches.
Shopping cant solve all of our woes, of course, but this one
time, it did. Im head over heels for the sideboard. And baby
Whitakers pretty handsome, too.

A
Ashley Whittakers transformation
of an 1823 Hudson Valley home for
a family with three young children
began by embracing the quirks of
yesteryear. The rambling Federal-
style residence, enlarged in the
1830s and 1950s and overhauled
by the previous owner, was beau-
tiful. Nevertheless, she notes, it
was a meandering warren of
pass-throughs and low-ceilinged
rooms. Looking to classic English
manors for inspiration, she mar-
ried adventurous color and
graphic prints with a laid-back
attitude toward art and antiques.
Its a rural farmhouse, she says.
You cant do precious. Here, the
designer explains how she recon-
ciled past and present in creating
rooms that are at once comfort-
able and elegant.

1. Double-parlor living rooms

were commonplace in the 19th century.
Theyre big, so here I carved out
distinct zones: a formal side for grown-
ups, and a relaxed area for kids.

2. Everything dominoed from the

aubergine-lacquered walls. Gutsy
but this bright room can handle it.
When the clients didnt push back,
I kept checking: Are you sure?
But they love it.

3. The tufted chaise is the kids favor-

ite hangout spot. They read, nap,
and even jump on it. I love that. This
is a real home, not a showpiece.

4. A Venetian mirror lends a hit of

glam. Its luxe but imperfectmissing
sections were lled with silvered wood.
Thats this project in a nutshell.

5. The clients heirloom table and

china cabinet needed a playful
foil. Chairs with curlicues dont take
themselves too seriously.

Rebecca Vizard transforms

PHOTOGRAPHY PAUL COSTELLO PRODUCER DORET TA SPERDUTO

 Y Youre less than a mile from the
Mississippi River, but this feels
like the south of France. What is
this magical place?
REBECCA VIZ ARD: Originally this was part
of Locustland Plantation, a property on
Lake Bruin just outside of St. Joseph,
Louisiana, my hometown. My grand-
father bought it in the 1950s. My husband
and I moved here in the late 80s from
New Orleans, when my father asked him
to help r un the family business. I
thought my life was over! My bottom lip
shook for four years. But the isolation
made me successful: I was so desperate
to get something going that I took a big
leap with my pillow business.
M.K. QUINL AN: How did you get the idea to
launch it?
Before I started B. Viz Design, I was an
interior designer. Custom pillows were
costly, and I thought they should be
really special. I created my rst pillow
out of antique textiles for a design job in
New York. I was living in New Orleans
when I started a business crafting one-
of-a-kind pillows. My book, Once Upon a
Pillow, tells that story.
This house looks older than its 30 years.
When we built it, I told my architect that
I wanted a New Orleansstyle farm-
house, lake house, and hunting lodge, all
in one. We repurposed some pieces from
my grandfathers original hunting cabin,
and from my aunt we got vintage doors,
sinks, and tubs. The living rooms cypress
walls are painted with an ocher glaze for
a soft, aged look. The green breezeway
connects the house to my studio; its the
main entrance, but it doubles as a ower-
arranging room. The vine on the ceiling
crept in several years ago, and I decided
to leave it even after my gardener mistak-
enly killed it! It is beautifulwhy not?
How much of the decorating was a product
of happenstance?
Wide cypress boards in the living room were

a beer-de-lier. But I actually drink more
wine than beer, which is how I came up
with the living rooms cork-de-lier. I
now hire local kids to string the corks
and bottle caps. We sell quite a few.
The bathrooms entrance through a book-
case reminds me of The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe.
Its my favorite thing in the house! I got
the idea from an apartment I visited
in Paris. I asked to use the restroom,
trying out my French, and my friend
pointed to an armoire. I thought, Hmm,
maybe I said that wrong? Sure enough,
inside was a little toilet and sink. I did
the same in my home: I had a door made
and tted onto an antique bookcase.
Do you have a thing for slipcovers?
Ive always bought furniture when I love
its lines; then I change things up with
slipcovers. Its great to be able to wash
them, since they get a lot of wear and
tear. We often have guests, and they
often bring their dogs. Our house is not
fancy or perfect, but we have a lot of fun.
Speaking of fun, what is the story with that
basket full of hats by the replace?
We keep the hats there for spontaneous
entertainment. Well have cocktails in
the afternoon, and, without fail, by the
second or third drink, someone peeps
around the corner with a hat on. Before
you know it, its a hat party.
You clearly love art.
Im drawn to pieces that move me or tell
a story. My home has paintings by my
sister-in-law Beth Lambert, ea-market
finds, and pieces that Ive purchased
from my gallerist friend Ann Connelly. I
also collect textiles, like the guest bed-
rooms chain-stitched suzani. Its a
Kazakh Tus-Kiiz from the early 20th
century that was too rare to cut. These
pieces were often given to newlyweds to
hang in their homes.
Despite your initial misgivings, life in
Locustland appears to agree with you.
The irony of my story is that, while I
resisted moving here 30 years ago, now
theres no place Id rather be. I garner a
lot of creativity from this place. When I
get stumped on a pillow design, I go out-
side and garden for a few minutes, and
soon I come back inside with a better
idea. I nd it cathartic to be here with-
out too many distractions. After a day of
designing pillows, I feel like I dont have
a problem in the world.

paean to her passions for color,

right she was to take a less mini-

updated home with textiles and
decorative objectsheads and
busts are a favoriteready for
their role in the next tableau. My
home can never be too stimulat-
ing, Luetkemeyer says. Here, she
explains what makes it all work.

1. The moment you enter the front door,

you can see a row of closets in the din-
ing room. To both disguise them and
draw you in, I designed a mural
inspired by Henri Rousseau. The artist
never visited the jungle; his paintings
were imaginary. These imagespainted
by artist Je Robinsonare based on
Californias landscape.

2. The mantels plasterwork masks

The curving snake relief is both subtle
and engaging. I was inspired by one

design of mine. The dusty jade in

colors, which wouldnt work without it.

6. A vivid blue-green is painted on the

back of the bookshelves. Instead
of gallery-white walls, I prefer a look
you see in Italian houses, where you
might have art hanging on a deep plum
wall. If you use at paint, the surfaces
appear almost like suede.

7. My less attractive books are behind

this Jonas Wood painting!

8. This was the trickiest space to

furnish, as it needed to transform from
a pass-through into a lounge. The
painted ceiling creates an indoor cabana
vibe and visually connects to the patio
outside. The rug came from a Moroccan
soukI always travel with my house
measurements! But its the tapestry,
mounted on a brass curtain rod, thats
the backbone of the room.

9. An entry should set the tone for a

house. I wanted mine to say, This
house is about color, art, and collect-
ing. I found the Gabriella Crespi stools
on eBay back when I had time to dig
around on the internet. They remind
me of cu bracelets. The vitrine above
holds the heart-shaped rocks I collect.

10. Parties always gravitate to the

outdoor fire pit at night (next page).

Theres something primordial
about people and re.

11. At night, I light sconces and votives

that I tuck away inside geodes. You
need many dierent light sources
to create sucient atmosphere. A single
source, especially when it hangs over-
head, is saying, Where were you on the

14. My bedroom is softer and more
feminine than the rest of the house. I
wanted it to feel unied, but not gov-
erned by any specic design era. Its
funny how the smallest detail can
change the feel of a space. The boudoir
pillow with tiny beads takes it from
15
an Ottoman style to a sweet, delicate
vibe that reminds me of St. Petersburg.
15. If I dont see them, I wont wear

which helps me to see them with fresh
eyes. For me, putting on jewelry is a
way of wearing memories.

Roberts created intriguing
vignettes throughout the
apartment. One of his own
photographs, a gift to the

W
clients, hangs above a
Sheraton table and a Karl
Springerinspired bench.
A 19th-century owl oil
lamp, now wired for elec-
tricity, provides a charm-
ing note of levity.

When a West Coa st couple

bought a Manhattan apartment
to serve as an East Coast base for
family visits, they searched for a
designer well attuned to matters
of both style and comfort. Mark-
ham Robertswhose high-toned
interiors are sophisticated but
never stuywas the clear choice.
The homeowners entrusted him
with an all-encompassing design
that included everything from
curtains to cutlery. He responded
with a f lexible, multitasking
scheme that works equally well
when the couple are on their own
as when their kids, one of whom is
in college, are in residence. What
follows is the designers advice for
crafting rooms that, while tailored
and dressy, feel easy and relaxed.

1. The upholstered walls in the

dining room are the color of tomato
bisque. The orangey-red wool satin
absorbs the clamor of boisterous
dinners and provides a beautiful back-
ground for art, day or night.
7

2. Formal but not intimidating

was the goal. I designed a parchment-
covered dining table that works for two
but leafs out for larger groups. The
patterned rug hides a multitude of sins.

3. Nothing atters like candlelight.

The chandelier holds real candles
which I encourage my clients to use
but is also wired with tiny electric
bulbs for additional light.

4. For two people or 20, the living

room is relaxed and inviting. There is
seating near the windows for
entertaining and a corner banquette
for reading and watching TV.
The two zones are distinct but still
relate to each other.

107
 5. Simple matchstick shades
make the room feel lighter and younger.
Its an airy, uncomplicated look.
6. A tufted L-shaped sectional
adds a casual seating area to the
living room. Its an ecient use of
spaceand it ts lots of people.
7. Unlikely pairings are more
visually interesting, and the same is
true for decorating. I put this proper
Sheraton console and cool
Karl Springerstyle bench together
because opposites attract: The
table looks serious, but the chrome
stool helps to loosen things up.
108
8. While the marble mantel provides
a focal point, I didnt organize the
furniture around it. This isnt a drafty
manor where you need to huddle
around the hearth! Still, you can pull
up a chair and enjoy the re.
9. A striped wallcovering breaks up
the entrys long wall. Without some
pattern and surface interest, I would
have had to hang a lot of art!
10. It sounds over-the-top, but
layers of blue-and-white patterns
can actually be coherent and calming.
The prints in the master bedroom (next
page) are unied by scale and color.
11. The breakfast areas palettea tur-
quoise table, a true-blue banquette, and
citrine cushions on the Saarinen Tulip
chairsisnt an obvious combination
but looks bright, cheerful, and pretty
together. Colors dont have to match.
12. Deep teal upholstered walls
make the study a moody, masculine
space. Saturated color can keep
a room from looking dim
when there is not a lot of light.
13. Cork wallpaper on the ceiling
creates a quieting eect. Putting a
decorative treatment up above
enhances the rooms rich, textured feel.
A marble Belvedere mantel by
Alexa Hampton for Chesneys
provides a visual anchor
between the living rooms two
seating areas. Above it, Italian
glass sconces from the 1960s
ank a 19th-century Dutch
mirror. OPPOSITE: In the

 A
After spending a year in their
stately 1930s Manhattan duplex, a
young familyby then keenly
aware of the spaces strengths
2

and weaknessesasked designer

Frank de Biasi to renovate it into
an elegant yet family-friendly
home. De Biasi mixed pieces com-
missioned by artisans with sleek
upholstery and contemporary art
to create rooms that feel both of
the moment and warmly per-
sonal. Throughout, there are nods
to the wifes native South Africa
and her love of pink. You cant
pigeonhole it to a particular style,
and thats good, says de Biasi. I
want people to enter and think,
This is so her. He shares his tips
on fashioning rened, livable inte-
riors f illed with unique and
made-to-order touches.

1. I was adamant about

adding some vertical interest to the
living room to balance all of its
low furniture, so I commissioned a pair
of tall straw-marquetry screens
from Lison de Caunes in Paris to go at
one end of the room. The straw is soft
on the eyes, and each strand has a
slightly dierent color and luster. Plus,
because its a fragile material that
can be dicult to work with, you dont
see it everywhere.

2. For the living room windows, we

designed these gorgeous shutters that
fold in on themselves to be
ush with the walls. Curtains on that
many windows would have made it
look like a theater stage.

3. The apartments thick walls and

solid prewar construction allowed us to
build in storage under the stairs
for the two young sons sporting
equipment. I also installed a recessed
china cabinet in the dining room and
3
inset bookcases in the master bedroom.

Bill Blasss Sutton Place
apartment; the custom

James Nares. The entry-
way staircase retains its
original Rosario Candela
designed balustrade,
while concealing newly
installed storage for
bikes and skateboards.

In the library, a custom Gene Meyer rug
with a bold tribal motif takes center
stage. Both the sofa and its chenille fab-
ric were made to order for the project.
The curtains are in a custom silk that was
handwoven by Soie de Lune.
 8

Gracie wallpaper hand-painted with branches

and owers creates the feel of a garden in the
dining room. The custom table has a cran-
berry crackled-resin top. Chairs are backed in
a Chelsea Textiles silk plaid. Curtains are silk
taeta with pleated trim. OPPOSITE, CLOCK-
WISE FROM TOP LEF T: Frank de Biasi. A cabi-
net built into the wall holds a collection of
pink Herend china. A Marcel Wanders mirror
reects the rooms windows.
 4. Its all about hard and soft.
I added goat-hair pillows to the Lucite
chairs, commissioned a glass coee
table lled with down and feathers, and
placed metallic cylinder side tables
next to the velvet sofa. I like the
conversation those dierent elements
have with one another.

5. Rugs with an overall or oset pattern

oer greater versatility. Its more
modern to have something thats a
little off, and the chairs can go
anywherewhereas it can be limiting
if the furniture always has to be
arranged around a central theme. When
my partner, Gene Meyer, designed the
living rooms silk rug, he was inspired
by a game of pick-up sticks.

6. The more light, the better, but I

prefer beautiful lamps and sconces
to down-spot lights. Swing-arm sconces
on either side of the library
sofa give o a softer glow, and theyre
also handy for reading. In the
living room, the Shizue Imai lamp has
a base that looks like bubblesits
like a piece of art.

7. The library serves as the husbands

man cavehence the enormous TV.
The wife also wanted to reference her
South African roots here, so we
collected African art and covered
throw pillows with vintage Kuba
cloth. The bold graphics of the rug
resemble tribal motifs without looking
clichd. Meanwhile, the stitched
goat leather on the walls creates an
old-fashioned library look.

8. When I was looking for a trim

to nish o the edges of the silk taeta
curtains in the dining room, I
found some old saris in an import store
on New Yorks Second Avenue.
I love using antique fabrics whenever
possible. Here, the pattern of the
sari fabric became a pleated trim
its a very fun, custom look.

9. We recycled the dining

rooms existing Gracie wallpaper by
cutting it up and decoupaging its
flowers and butterflies onto the
geometric silver-leaf Gracie paper on
the powder rooms walls (next page).

room, cutouts of vintage Gracie wallpaper were decou-

over the closets store luggage, hats, and seasonal items.

Jeffrey and I had been married for two years when we went
camping in Normandy, France. The woman who owned the campsite offered us beef
bourguignonne, and I was like, Yessss!we had very little money, and Id been
using a small gas stove in the tent. Well, the meal was extraordinary. I had to figure
out how to re-create it, and I used Julia Childs Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
I taught myself to cook using cookbooks; now Im obsessed. But I had no place to keep
themthey were piled on the floor in stacks! So I built them a home.
