The master bedroom is awash in a warm beige paint, but it’s a slightly darker shade than in the living room and kitchen. “No room has exactly the same palette, but they all speak to each other so that nothing is jarring,” Ring says. Ring had the headboard custom-upholstered in linen on the interior and velvet on the exterior. Ceiling luster
kitchen is one big play on materials: The Calacatta Gold countertops, with their “beautiful balance of cool gray and warm taupe,” were the design gambit that inspired everything else. The wall cabinetry plays off that warm taupe in the counters, while the base cabinetry employs a French cerused-oak technique, a popular finish in the 1940s. Custom leather drawer pulls mix with nickel pulls for a blend of tradition with modernity, and the serene color palette balances cool and warm neutrals. The fridge and dishwasher hide behind cabinetry so that the millwork remains the focus.
Ring added a new ethanol gel-burning fireplace to the living room. For the surround, she chose a French-style limestone with a modern stainless steel inset. The bi-fold mirror above the mantel stealthily hides a flat-screen TV. On both sides of the fireplace, custom-designed 1940s-inspired consoles made of shagreen conceal home entertainment equipment. The two large mirrored obelisks flanking the fireplace were purchased at a flea market in Paris and once graced a lobby of a 1920s apartment building.

Drop-down mini table. In a laundry room so narrow it’s just big enough for one, this mini table is a game-changer. Most of the time it’s folded out of the way; when you need it, whether for folding laundry or pre-treating stains, you can fold it down with one hand.
