The Living Room
The 1920s Chinese rug was purchased at auction.
“It was the first thing we bought,” says Brock
Forsblom. The Roman shades and scrim sheers are
done in coordinating Carolina Herrera prints. “The
view doesn’t exactly exist,” he says, “so we wanted a
window that would feel open and airy even when it
was closed.” The sofa and chairs were both found at
auctions; the sofa was covered in Voutsa’s Poppy
fabric and the armchairs in yellow wool from Ralph
Lauren. The painting over the sofa, by the artist
Sophie Larrimore, was commissioned for the room.
