The New Palm Beach Classic

Every room starts with an ivory base and a statement crystal or brass chandelier, then layers in gilt mirrors, velvet, bouclé and marble, with olive green as a constant accent and blush where a room wants softness. Evening rooms go darker, with black lacquer and brass. Palm Beach shows up in the details: an arch, a palm-frond chandelier, botanical wallpaper, a ginger-jar lamp, a loggia furnished like a room. The result is a house that feels glamorous, collected and calm, and unlike any other listing nearby.

Found, not ordered.

A room with history feels different to stay in. It stays with guests long after checkout, and it makes them feel they belong. I source from South Florida estate sales: a carved sideboard, a pair of peacock chairs, an antique chandelier. Guests notice these pieces, photograph them and remember the house by them. No listing nearby can order the same one.

Designed to be felt. Designed to be remembered.

Rooms people want to remember earn the reviews, the shares and the return stays.
