"Before After: A House Made Whole\nUnifying a Hodgepodge of Styles in Greenwich, Connecticut\n\"I wanted to take it back to the way it should have been,\" designer Sandra Nunnerley says of a Normandy-style house in Connecticut.\nIn the living room, as elsewhere, the designer edited the clients' furnishings and added a large carpet to unify the space. \"Working with Sandra, we pared down,\" says the husband. \"She makes fewer things look better.\"\nChuck Close's 1981 Keith III is on the mantel. Louis XVI chairs, H. M. Luther Antiques, with Scalamandr\u00E9 fabric. Guy Regal commode. Low table, Reymer Jourdan. Cowtan Tout club chair fabric.

The shade, headboard and bed skirt fabric is from Christopher Norman, as are the sconces. Brunschwig Fils chair print. Reymer Jourdan bench. Patterson, Flynn Martin carpet.\nThe master bath was gutted, and new cabinets and a sandstone floor were installed. Venus at Sea is by Jim Dine.
