Classic elements are combined in an unconventional way in the entryway of this Upper East side apartment. The carpet on the staircase is a hand-patched antique runner.
When I saw this house a couple of months ago in Veranda, I knew I was going to post it one day. Its full of contrast, glam, creativity, and elegance. The latter is done in a very subdued manner, not over the top but with an evident refinement. The house was fully renovated by architect Nate McBride in collaboration with Interior Designer Alecia Stevens. Among the significant structural changes is the fantastic row of steel casement-windows which open onto a terrace on each floor of the house overlooking the beautiful garden in the backyard. The townhouse shows a great balance between classic, modern and glamour.
I love the casual refinement in the dining room. The Gracie wallpaper is modern and classic at the same time, the sisal rug is relaxed enough, and the round dining table is unexpected. The fantastic crystal chandelier is the icing on the cake. The vintage Mies van der Rohe chairs would not be my first choice, but thats what makes this room creative.
Talking about a room that is elegant and comfortable.
Love the garden patio.
