On the lower level, the fuchsia-and-gray
color scheme makes its reappearance in the
entertainment area, but each of the three
guest suites has been given its own
unique décor. The “black-and-white” bedroom
showcases a Barbara Barry duvet and bedding,
florals and polka dots and another cartouche,
this one acquired in Memphis. A second
bedroom has a Tyrolean theme with an FFDM
bed and side tables, a crewelwork-covered
loveseat, framed antique needlepoint and
gold-finished Louis XVI chairs “rusticated” with
potato sack burlap and upholstery tacks. The
third bedroom emphasizes pattern, texture
and metallics with a Universal bed, beaded
crystal cage chandelier and a fuchsia-and-gray
duvet contrasted with footstools in a Clarke
& Clarke stripe.
The epitome of “neo-glam,” this extraordinary
residence proves several things: handled
skillfully, bold design choices can be both
tasteful and spectacular. Meticulous detailing
adds excitement — and a whole new
dimension — to the décor of a luxury home.
And, in a highly competitive field, Gigi Lombrano’s

Pre-owned, this Louis XVI armchair was cleverly “rusticated” with burlap potato sack fabric and upholstery tacks. Bottom: Barbara Barry bedding, Jonathan Charles
lamps, and an ornate cartouche from Memphis establish the decorative theme in the “black-and-white” guest suite.
Oposite page: Pattern, texture, and metallics are emphasized in the third guest bedroom. The fuchsia-&-gray color scheme reappears in the floral duvet on the
Universal bed, contrasted with a Manuel Canovas stripe on the footstools. Overhead, a crystal-beaded cage chandelier provides another glamorous touch.
