The twenty2 team holds textile standards to the highest caliber.
Compared to traditional screen printing, where different colors of a pattern are applied—often by hand—to a surface via a series of screens, digital printing allows for multiple colors to be applied at once. Seen here: a suzani-inspired pattern by St. Frank.

The shop’s fabulous finds include a sofa upholstered in fabric by Alan Campbell for Quadrille, a vintage pencil-reed cocktail table featuring a palm leaf design, and vintage carpet beaters that flank contemporary photography. Harper customized the barstool with the location of her South Carolina wedding, a palm tree, and a burgee flag.
The mirror in this vignette can be custom made in a variety of finishes, and the shell boxes are crafted by Susan Lloyd.

In the wife’s bath, the cast-iron Penhaglion tub showcases a polished stainless-steel finish.

Gucci wallpaper makes a statement in a first-floor powder room.
The home’s third floor serves as the youngest daughter’s bedroom.

Furniture-like cabinetry painted Farrow & Ball Railings contains the freezer, wine refrigerator, and refrigerator, while the door on the right leads to the butler’s pantry.
The couple’s portrait collection watches over many rooms in the house, including the Christopher Peacock-designed kitchen. The wife, says interior designer Antonio Pippo, was adamant the kitchen island not include seating. “She didn’t want people gathering around the island,” says Pippo. “She wanted them to be elsewhere, having fun.”
The homeowners elected to forgo grass and trees in favor of a meandering stone pathway that leads to the entrance of the three-story home, which went from pale gray to black.
The front door, which was repositioned during the remodel, opens into the living area and the staircase with its cable railing and wood handrail. A 100-plus-year-old bench from a church in Portugal sits under the front window.
The Judge oil painting sparks dinner conversation in this Greenwich dining room where two Visual Comfort & Co. chandeliers hang above a custom, polished, live-edge table.
“She just speaks to me,” says the wife, who works in fashion, of the portrait of a tarot card reader hanging in the primary bedroom. “There’s something about her I just can’t shake. Art should be something you can’t move on from.”
The husband’s bath features travertine-like stone on the walls and floor.

The tour de force in the front entry hall is the chandelier of cascading white plaster from Visual Comfort & Co. “It is earthy but glamorous and dramatic,” says interior designer Andrea Sinkin. The continuity of color that runs throughout the house begins with the staircase’s gray handrails.
The monochromatic gray tones of the primary bedroom make this a restful retreat for the parents. The upholstered bed is by Bernhardt. The Fiona mirror from Made Goods, one of the homeowner’s favorite pieces, is crafted from silver and mother-of-pearl in a floral motif.
A closet was eliminated in the primary bathroom making room for a pair of new vanities and a built-in makeup station. The space opens to a private outdoor balcony.
Grasscloth wallcovering and silk curtains bring texture to the living room. The chandelier of mirrored discs from Arteriors adds a playful note.
A spot for family dining was designed around a banquette on one side of the new island; the table base is from Dunes and Duchess, and the top was custom made by builder Palette Pro Painting & Renovation.
The banquette is upholstered in performance vinyl from Kravet, and floral arrangements are by Abilis Gardens & Gifts in Greenwich.
The color scheme continues in the dining room’s willow-pattern wallpaper from the Pluma line at Romo. Sinkin paired a Worlds Away table with side chairs in light-toned wood with caned backs and seats upholstered in blue-gray fabric. The sideboard is finished in woven grasscloth. The modern chandelier from Visual Comfort & Co. resembles a mobile.

The guest room’s ceiling and a wall behind the bed are covered in a marbled wallpaper that evokes the nostalgia of the endpapers in an old book.
A barn door can close off the dining room from the family room.
Hirsch pulled the lilac from the J.D. Staron rug for the glamorous high-gloss walls of the dining room. The dark wood of the chair frames and dining table keeps the room feeling grounded. Contemporary elements, like Ochre’s Gaia pendant chandelier, can be found throughout the house.
A swivel chair upholstered in deep-blue wool and a sculptural drink table occupy a corner of the family room.

Builder Walter Mattera designed retractable screens for the covered porch, which Davies outfitted with a large RH sectional and a Rove Concepts coffee table.
A Nika Zupanc cherry pendant lamp from 1stDibs hangs over a Steinway grand piano. Interior designer Denise Davies had the piano’s interior painted Benjamin Moore New Lime.
The family room is “the hub of the home,” says Davies, who outfitted it almost exclusively with custom pieces; the Kaws artwork was part of the clients’ collection.
In the laundry room, Davies chose cement Clé tiles whose undulating black-and-white pattern recalls the walkways designed by Brazilian modernist Roberto Burle Marx for Copacabana Beach in Rio.
Because the kitchen is so large, “a single straight island would have looked like a landing strip,” says Davies, explaining the logic behind the island’s L-shape and lower, cantilevered seating area, which she set with chairs from Blu Dot.
Cement also figures prominently in the guest bath, where the material is used for nearly every surface.
The exterior, designed by Tanner White Architects, telegraphs a modern-farmhouse vibe.
In the dining room, a Drop It Modern wallpaper makes a gestural statement, and custom chairs sit at a bespoke cerused-oak table. The chandelier is by Estiluz.
The daughter’s bedroom impresses with a Flavor Paper ceiling wallpaper, a Tom Dixon bedside lamp, and roman shades in a Pierre Frey fabric.
For the clients’ purple-loving daughter, Davies designed a suite awash in lavender and neon green.
Davies sought to keep the large primary bedroom from looking empty without overfilling it. “That’s where the custom Mongolian lamb rug comes in,” she explains. “It is a lot of bang for the buck—so much visual interest.”
A series of bluestone and grass steps lead down to the lake path, swooping beside a trio of trimmed hornbeams before traversing the meadow.
The property’s original tennis court was converted into a vegetable garden, and a new court was constructed. Its pavilion shelters spectators as well as storage cabinets.
Yew could be used as an edging, thanks to the protective deer fence. Moving away from the house, multistemmed dogwoods line the lawn stairs.
With so much continually happening in the garden, Parker recommended a stately unfilled urn to serve as a focal point.
Pleached lindens stand sentinel around the parking court, while ilex softens the stonework leading to the house.
To hold the slope leading down from the rose terrace, Parker planted a diamond pattern of butterfly bush and spiraea.
Interior designer Alexa Hampton selected the McKinnon and Harris furniture for the gravel parterre overlooking the lake.
The entry drive winds gracefully through a preserved tree canopy not far from a semicircular lawn surrounded by Little Lime hydrangeas. Bedded in candytufts (landscape architect Janice Parker’s favorite “tough-as-nails groundcover”), this viewshed can be seen from the main stairwell of the house and is a harmony of green-on-green.
To create a confetti of color at the back of the house, Scanniello planted the deep crimson Darcey Bussell with Heritage and other repeat-blooming varieties that would extend the drama throughout the season. In the beginning, Scanniello let the roses perform without competition. Later, other perennials were added to the beds.
English rose breeder David Austin introduced the Heritage shrub rose in 1984, and rosarian Stephen Scanniello still considers it to be one of Austin’s best. Not only does Heritage fulfill the homeowners’ request for heavenly fragrance, but it is also apropos for cut flowers.
Situated on the top terrace, the massive rose garden enjoys brisk upward air circulation to avoid disease.

Pretty patterns comingle to create an enchanting tablescape that’s a perfect backdrop for afternoon tea.
The artist at work: “Designing involves a great deal of trial and error. It’s a lot like gardening,” says Edwards-Pitt.
The Love Birds design, which covers the walls in the shop’s back room, is a fan favorite.
The “fabric wall” showcases samples of Edwards-Pitt’s seventy original fabric designs and inspires customers to mix and match; favorites can then be custom ordered on wallpaper, upholstery, tablecloths, and more.
