Entering the living room from the library hall through the French doors opens a shift in color value.
Rose and taupe greet you in a formal damask sofa. Painted frames on the Bergere chairs move to the
damask-skirted table with ease and grace. Window styles echoed each other;
thereby transitioning treatments were designed. The room functions equally well for quiet repose as it
does for entertaining guests.
A view from the foyer opens into a spacious and mellow family room, which is what Long calls
"humanizing" from a grand scale into a more intimate comfort range. The dramatic wall of
eighteen-foot Palladium windows overlooks the back patio. The expansive foyer, halls, family room,
and kitchen were knit together by coloring the walls with a soothing moss green, the underlying tone
of all the needlepoint rugs.
