This month’s Veranda magazine is brimming with beautiful and inspiring homes. I particularly love this five-story brownstone designed by Ashley Whittaker for a family with four children. Ashley is known for her flawless use of colorful prints which exude happiness elegantly. As pretty as this home is, nothing is too precious making it ideal for young children’s activities and cocktail parties.
Can you tell that there are more than a dozen printed fabrics from large to small scale in this living room… all seamlessly balanced to strike the right note. The walls have a glossy Venetian-plaster technique that makes everything look even more lively. Eclecticism done right by Ashley Whittaker. A well updated traditional Interior design.
Steel and glass windows bring the masculinity side to the overall decor of the house making it suitable for the entire family.
Bright blue walls and chairs in red leather. The back of the chairs has a Muriel Brandolini fabric.
In the lovely foyer, Whittaker chose a custom grisaille de Gournay wallpaper mural as the backdrop for the jewel tone on the settee and lamp shades.
Hermes wallpaper in the powder room.
How not to be ready for a cocktail when you have a butler pantry like this? Burgundy color cabinets bear a Muriel Brandolini wallpaper and a disco ball.
