Chesapeake Bay Getaway

Project Details

Location — Chesapeake Bay

Photography — Andrew Frasz

“In the summer of 2021, I was invited to meet with a new client at her magnificent Colonial Revival home on the idyllic shores of Chesapeake Bay. The lady of the house had a refined eye and loved scouting antique stores and auctions for serendipitous finds.”

“She and her husband had amassed collections of fine furniture and objects d’art from their world travels, but these items needed to be given a cohesive place in the home. So, our joint inspiration here came from leveraging the family’s trove of lovely things as a starting point, and then judiciously filling in the blanks with new acquisitions and bespoke finishes sourced by my firm. In the end, we created a harmonious interior and exterior design that truly reflects the couple’s personal taste and appreciation for beauty.”
