Tag along to Gramercy Park, New York for a behind the scenes visit with interior designer Sara Story at her five story 1840s brownstone.
See how Sara gradually over twenty years, combined nine apartments in the building to create a family home that is filled with fearless style, ample whimsy and loads of love. While she is certainly careful and calculated with client projects, in her own home, Sara threw caution to the wind with unbridled creative energy. Learn how she combines her copious collection of large and varied art, while at the same time, not taking it all too seriously. See how she effortlessly combines pieces from legions of illustrious designers think Gio Ponti, Noguchi and Royère with no name pieces for a panoply of chic pattern and color. Having evolved over decades, the home is layered with impromptu acquisitions (like a 70s Swedish Ushaped leather sectional sofa bought on the spot at LA design destination Blackman Cruz) alongside carefully curated art and designed pieces. From a custom terrazzo dining room table inspired by furniture design legend Jean Prouvé to a Josef Frank floral enveloped game room, it’s a home of boisterous beauty with endless style and inspiration! If you just can’t get enough of Sara’s style, be sure to get her new book, The Art of Home https://amzn.to/42obbHu. And look for her Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach room debuting later this month. For more visit quintessenceblog.com
