A Modern Country Getaway - Part 2

Bedroom

The master's corduroy-upholstered headboard was made to order. The artwork above it, by Florian Schmidt, is echoed in the geometrical Dash & Albert rug. John Robshaw makes the patterned lavender bedding.



Bathroom

An antiqued-brass and bronze light fixture from The Urban Electric Co. shines above a Kohler trough sink in the guest bath. The window shades are Hunter Douglas. Priscilla inherited the sign on the door—which reads chien méchant, or "beware of dog"—from her grandmother.

Bright idea: Instead of towel bars, peg rails offer maximum utility in a tight space.



Kid's Room

Art by friends greets the gallery director at every turn, from Joe Fyfe's painting in the dining area to a mixed-media work by Robert Kushner—an artist Priscilla represents at DC Moore Gallery—in her daughter Caroline's bedroom. These works serve as reminders of the community that has nurtured Priscilla through her loss.

In this photo: John Robshaw linens and a Madeline Weinrib rug enliven this space. The beds are by Ducduc. The floor is painted Skimming Stone by Farrow and Ball.

Bright idea: Give canisters new life as bedroom lamps, like the red one on Caroline's bedside table.


Porch

"This house is infused with positive energy," Priscilla (left) says, "because it was a collaboration among friends and family." Now, when her sister Kate (right) visits, she lounges on the custom sofa that she commissioned. Pal John Danzer, founder of the garden furniture company Munder-Skiles, stops by for a drink on the porch (painted in Studio Green by Farrow & Ball) and relaxes on a section of his own design.

Recently, more than 30 members of Will's family gathered at the home for the holidays; there was room for everyone to feel welcome.

"My husband is buried here in Norfolk. It was a place he loved," says Priscilla. "People tell me Will would have been proud of me for moving ahead. I've never once regretted that decision."
