While the kitchen is swathed in creamy whites, the homeowners certainly didn’t shy away from implementing vibrant splashes of color, such as in the red dining room, expertly matched to resemble the rosy French heritage shade laque de garance. Layers of rugs in the drawing room and patterned drapery recall classic English Country style, and Sylive’s beloved collections of blue-and-white Spode displayed on walls and built-ins create a comfortable ambiance. Her artistic touch enhances all the prettiest details, from the hand-distressed wall leading up the main staircase to the restored four-poster bed presented in a guest room.
