Green with Envy

This striking New Jersey home was decorated by the design team of William Diamond and Anthony Baratta. The homeowners were returning to the states after living abroad in both Europe and Asia. With widely varied tastes and an eclectic collection of English and Chinese pieces, color became the key to pull it all together.

One of the above 19th century chaises was found in London, the other the designers had copied. I wonder which is which.

From the amazing light fixtures to the unique carpet choices the home radiates charm, warmth, a special energy and elegance.

Oh what a glorious home, I really can't decide which room I would run to first! Hard to believe that it is in New Jersey and not in Europe.
