True To FormKate Long Stevenson and her sons, Henry, 13, and George, 10.FORM & FUNCTION: The elegant curves of the Kravet swivel chair and antique sofa—upholstered in Perennials fabric with Samuel & Sons trim—contrast with the strong lines of the dark wood Arteriors end table, topped by a sculptural Villa & House lamp.La Vie En Rose: Natural light spills into the living room through French doors, framed by custom drapes in a Joseph Noble fabric. The soothing palette, anchored by walls in Farrow & Ball “Blackened,” is complemented by pops of pink from two West Elm chaises re-covered in Kravat velvet.CURVES AHEAD: In the open-plan, formal dining room, curvilinear pieces, such as the Apparatus Studio “Cloud” chandelier from Fritz Porter, Brooks Custom Woodworks table, and Lee Industries chairs, help continue the flow through the rooms.A fireplace in the family room adds to the casual coziness of the space.In the kitchen, Benjamin Moore “Simply White”-painted walls allow the stainless steel Wolf stove to pop against quartz countertops.The showpiece entryway, dominated by a dramatic sweeping staircase, is flooded with natural light through a playful arched alcove and accented by white oak chevron flooring.The garden room in the hyphen between the kitchen and the main home creates a nice pause, as well as a spot to soak up the view on vintage chairs paired with a Knoll “Saarinen” table.Kate in her home studio.MOODY HUES: Stevenson’s home office separates the living area from the primary suite on the main floor. Painted in Benjamin Moore’s dramatic “Witching Hour,” it provides a transition between the two spaces. The Schoolhouse “Plaza” brass chandelier adds drama, while the Stark wool rug softens the scene.ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: In the family room, a gray Perennials fabric covers the Lee Industries sofa, while pops of purple from the Lee Jofa fabric-covered pillows and art by Leigh Suggs add interest.The en suite bath’s sculptural soaking tub and striking marble tiled floor.The primary bedroom is ensconced in floral drapes in Quadrille by Threadhouse, a Cowtan & Tout fabric-covered headboard, and Matouk beddingArt pieces and a modern acrylic chair from Interlude Home; the office entryway.The office entryway.True To Form
