☆ A Glamorous Resort for the 1%—and How to Get Its Posh, Tropical Look at Home
  + stars: | 2023-10-28 | by ( Christina Poletto | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In My Favorite Room, an interior designer or architect singles out a historic room they admire, which we deconstruct and, with the design pro’s guidance, translate into advice on emulating the look. IN THE LATE 1950s, Canadian tycoon, investor and philanthropist E.P. Taylor set out to conjure a resort from the mangrove swamps and dirt roads along the coast of New Providence island in the Bahamas. His vision: an exclusive island playground where well-heeled elites could swing irons, yacht-hop and hobnob the night away. The plan worked.

☆ Harvest Gold, Again? Why ‘Ugly’ 1970s Colors Are Back—and Chicer Than Before

REMEMBER “avocado green” and “harvest gold”? If you were born before the Reagan administration, chances are your early years provided an overdose. Throughout the 1970s, these ubiquitous hues covered everything from station wagons to shag carpets—which is why by the time the minimalist new millennium rolled around, they’d become design shorthand for suburban, cringy and dated.

☆ When to Paint Over Your Home’s Woodwork—and When to Leave It Alone
  + stars: | 2022-12-27 | by ( Christina Poletto | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
TWO YEARS AGO when Kate Arends and her family moved into their 1956 rambler-style house in St. Paul, Minn., they encountered a thoroughly outdated kitchen that included uninterrupted oak paneling on the ceilings and walls. Not loving the wood’s golden hue, Ms. Arends, founder of lifestyle brand Wit & Delight, considered painting over it or sanding it down to a more neutral complexion, but the costs seemed prohibitive and the payoff uncertain.After the family had lived with the wood for a year, they decided to honor its hue but surround it with more modern décor. They painted Shaker-style cabinets a daring, un-woodsy powdery rose tone—Sulking Room Pink by Farrow & Ball—and further punched them up by installing slabs of Calacatta Viola marble with its trademark whorls of black and deep purple. An ink-blue gas range adds another shot of the unexpected. “If the wood is in great shape, the constraints of working within the shade or hue of the stain might seem limiting, but some really interesting solutions can come from those constraints,” said Ms. Arends.
