A colourful home

Posted on Thu, 23 Feb 2017 by midcenturyjo

Talk about making a statement from the outside in! This home designed by architect Peter Pennoyer is a stately gem with a bit of an unexpected choice of red for trim colour…but then when you walk inside it all makes complete sense. The homeowners appear to have no fear of colour so I would expect an designer such as Katie Ridder to make the interior a random assortment of some very bold colour choices. And it starts the second you walk in the front door! Not sure how I would feel living with these colours but the architecture of the home is really spectacular.

This is a stately house, but not really very large. I think it's my favorite. The way the rooms fit, and flow. Privacy, but togetherness in relatively compact space. Just the joy of it, plus the dignity. I love this house and I've seen it around, but never these pictures, which add to my understanding and appreciation of it. Thank you.

Every room says, "come in, stay a while, relax, I can entertain you. And you will never want to leave…"
