Steven Sclaroff - part 1
Tue, 12 Mar 2013
AMAZEBALLS. The first word that came to my mind when I saw this spectaular home. Steven Sclaroff was responsible for the restoration and interior design of this former studio and school building in William Merritt Chase's Southampton Art Colony, founded in 1892...which now happens to be the home of Kate and Andy Spade (yes, THAT Kate Spade). The nine thousand square foot residence retains many original details and preserves the two large studios where Chase taught. This home immediately brought a smile to my face, and I imagine it brings a smile to everyone's face who has had the pleasure to visit it in person. Now THAT IS A HOME. Steven Sclaroff, you are a GENIUS.

This is talent!!!
this is wonderful! I love how lived in all the rooms look but yet are still tidy and luxurious feeling.
I agree with the exception of the bathroom with the clawfoot tub. That wallpaper is atrocious
I like the bike on balloon tires - nice. Does anyone know the brand or story behind...?
What a homey place - irresistible.
What an incredible amount of space! I love how bold they went with the wall paper in the bathroom the expansive space and rich colours make it feel so luxurious. But seriously, how many couches do they own?!
the art... wowza! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
May look good and "sharp' in modern interior designs, but has a lot of feng shui flaws that would affect the residents' energies.
oh my - the rugs alone made me swoon
