"Country Modernism\nFilling a Nineteenth-Century Stone House in Westchester County with Contemporary Tones\n\"We had the walls painted a moss green to give it a breath of life,\" Stephen Sills says of the living room of a house in the hills of Westchester County, New York, which he decorated with his partner, James Huniford. They designed the center table. Pierre Frey sofa fabric.\nSills and Huniford also designed the landscaping.\n\"The living room was so long we created two separate seating areas and put an iron chandelier over a center table to divide the space,\" says Sills. The club chairs are covered in a Pierre Frey fabric.\n\"Our associate Kimberley Hull returned from her honeymoon with a book full of Ottoman patterns, which inspired the hand-stenciled walls,\" notes Huniford. The table, a custom design by Sills and Huniford, can seat as many as 24 people.\n\"The color of the walls reflects the leaves outside,\" Sills says of the master suite's sitting room, which has windows on three sides and is nestled into the terrain behind the house. The sisal rug is from Stark Carpet. The sofa is from the designers' own furniture line.\n\"There's an odd mixture of furniture in the master bedroom, ranging from a French upholstered wing chair and lamp to an Italian Baroque\u00E2&#128;&#147;style sofa,\" remarks Huniford, \"yet it somehow all blends.\" He and Sills designed the striped wool rug, which was woven in France.\nThe guest bedroom is in a part of the house that doesn't get much light, the designers point out. \"We chose a gold color scheme and an open-frame bed and architect's desk to give the room an airy feeling,\" explains Sills. The sisal carpet is from Stark.\nThe clients like to seat large groups of people at a single table, so Sills and Huniford created three wood tables that fit together and assembled a dozen Arne Jacobsen chairs on the terrace at the front of the house."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
