PHOTOGRAPHY: DUSTIN HALLECKFRESH-FACED
Gould loves photography, but Neenan encouraged her to
consider different types of artistic media. “I introduced her
to the work of painter Linda Colletta, and she fell in love.” To
match one abstract print, Neenan drenched the bathroom in
Starburst Orange, a cheery hue by Benjamin Moore. “The paint
goes only three-quarters of the way up the wall to divide the
space a bit and give it the appearance of more height.”DELUXE DINING
Gould often has guests and clients over, so Neenan found citrine velvet chairs by Interior Define
to place around the Eero Saarinen dining table. “Jacqueline is casual, and I didn’t want her to feel
like she was working at this long board-of-directors table. These really pop.”BEAUTY SLEEP
Gould wanted to keep the pastel green bed from her
childhood. But it’s feminine and delicate — “everything
she was saying she wasn’t,” says Neenan. “It fought with
everything else in the home.” To funk it up, the pair added
a leopard-print velvet bolster, a Persian rug from Etsy,
and a bare-bones lighting fixture.Living Color

FTER JACQUELINE GOULD, FOUNDER
of the wellness coaching company
Your Inner Babe, closed on a newly
constructed condo, her first call was
to JoAnn Neenan, an interior designer she found
online through the design agency Homepolish. It
was love at first click. “She likes saturated colors
but was on a tight budget,” says Neenan, who was
excited to work with a decisive and trusting client.
The result is a cohesive look that is both modern
and glam — and that belies its modest cost.
