"Thom Filicia Releases His New Renovation Book, \"American Beauty\"\nIn American Beauty, interior designer Thom Filicia invites us into his rustic-chic retreat in New York's Finger Lakes region\nThom Filicia at his renovated weekend home on Skaneateles Lake in upstate New York.\nFilicia decorated the living room to emphasize the symmetry of the architecture. The walls are clad in a Phillip Jeffries linen wall covering, and the sofa, tables, and chairs are from the collection Filicia designed for Vanguard Furniture.\nThe sunroom's rustic log wall and ceiling, which are original to the early-20th-century house, are offset by luxe fabrics and dark, moody paneling.\nA low ceiling in the dining room was removed to reveal the original atrium peak, and corner boards were added to connect the ceiling to the baseboards.\nThe kitchen cabinetry was custom built, with nickel chicken-wire door fronts.\nFilicia wanted the guest room to serve as a private retreat; he used a green wall covering and a dark-wood canopy bed to reference the lush woods surrounding the home.\nThe master bedroom's nautical theme is carried into the bath with rope mirrors and bright-white paneling that the decorator had installed horizontally to evoke a ship's hull.\n\nAmerican Beauty: Renovating and Decorating a Beloved Retreat (Potter Style, $45)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
