"Although the house is modern, it was important for this space to feel welcoming. We loved the green and gray palette. The gray originated in the bones of the house, found in the floors and metal roof. The natural look of the wood, along with the gray and green hues, is really reminiscent of a summer day."

"We love to entertain during the holidays, and I always approach my table the same way I do a room—with lots of layers. Everything from flowers, the contrast of light and dark, various textures, old and new pieces. It’s all about the mix and the collection. I also create warmth through color.
