Dreamhouse: Penny Drue Baird

Dreamhouse: Penny Drue Baird

Architectural Digest Top 100 interior designer Penny Drue Bairdâ‚¬s rooms are universally admired for their seamless weaving of past and present. From luxurious Manhattan apartments and a jewel-toned Parisian pied-Â -terre, to family homes in Connecticut and New Jersey, and a whimsical Bucks County barn, Bairdâ‚¬s work is the result of deep client relationships that have lasted for decades. A Tudor-style house is redesigned to feel fresher as its ownersâ‚¬ tastes mature, an airy Beverly Hills villa follows a young bachelorâ‚¬s first apartment in The San Remo, and sumptuous fabrics and textures provide a modern backdrop for the vintage collections of â‚¬Å“the chicest person Baird knows.â‚¬Â
Â
Baird incorporates bold architectural gesturesâ‚¬"tufted niches, gold-leaf and turquoise coffered ceilings, classical moldings and other made-from-scratch detailsâ‚¬"with fabrics from taffeta to practical corduroy, and unexpected finishes like mother of pearl and striÂ© painted walls, trompe lâ‚¬oeil limestone, classic bead board, or end-grain wood wallpaper. In his warmly written foreword, Mario Buatta lauds her skill and taste in sourcing unique pieces for each room. Art Deco cabinets, Sputnik chandeliers, and gracious European antiques discovered in France, England, and Italy are received with the same delight as salvaged barn siding and old crates. Au courant but never trendy, with elements both classical and contemporary, each DREAMHOUSE is infused with Penny Drue Bairdâ‚¬s irresistible sense of romance, charm, and joie de vivre.
