FRANK BABB RANDOLPH ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN GEORGETOWN

When Washington lawyer and artist Robert Rae decided to purchase a Georgetown townhouse, he called on Frank Babb Randolph to help him design the interior. Rae found Randolph's home, previously owned by Henry Kissinger, inspirational.

Randolph and Rae shopped for antiques for the home in Georgetown that would compliment the beautiful stairwell, the tall french windows, and the bleached, wide-plank oak floors. What resulted is a stunning and elegant home that is a perfect place to showcase the lawyer's art. ENJOY!








Pick up your copy of the April issue of Veranda to read more about this beautiful home.

Robert Rae's Alabama roots are greatly responsible for the passion behind his work as an artist.

ANTONELLO RADI ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN FOLIGNO

Antonello Radi admits that he is a maximalist.  His 16th century Italian palazzo, in the Umbrian city of Foligno, is filled with beautiful antique art, pottery, rugs and furnishings.  His collection is primarily from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, although he admits that he has a few modern pieces.

This is a second home for Radi, who comes from a wealthy and prominent family who deals in finance and politics.  His primary home is in Spello, overlooking beautiful gardens.  ENJOY!







This beautiful home can be found in the April issue of Elle Decor.

See you soon,
Teresa

AT HOME IN PONTE VEDRA BEACH

Serendipity is the name given to this beautiful home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Architect Robert Hart owns and designed this Renaissance style home with wife, Sallie.  Interior designer James Michael Howard designed the stunning interior.

Reclaimed beams, high ceilings, and tall, arched windows and doorways make this home elegant yet comfortable. ENJOY!

FRENCH ART DECO ON PARK AVENUE

It was love at first sight for me.  The light blue interior and the dark wood and paneling won me over immediately.  Add in the floor to ceiling French-style windows... speechless.

Interior designer David Kleinberg and architect Peter Pennoyer worked in obvious harmony to renovate this 1920s Italian Renaissance-style Park Avenue apartment. The couple wanted a timeless architecture with a modern interior.  Mission accomplished.  ENJOY!










This is the second home I have shown in the past month designed by Peter Pennoyer.  To see more of this over-the-top beautiful home see the April issue of Veranda.


See you soon,
