look with vibrant blue linen upholstery — have button tufting that brings<br />
a tailored touch to the contemporary setting. Similarly, four armchairs<br />
make a striking addition to the cigar room. Their distinct upholstered<br />
exteriors catch the eye and their wide velvet seats ensure cozy conversation.<br />
The kitchen, striking in its own right, is a sleek showcase of metal and<br />
glass. The clients entertain often, hiring chefs to cook for guests. And this<br />
kitchen is a chef’s dream with its long, marble-topped island flanked by<br />
stainless steel cabinetry. The room’s crowning glory is the range hood —<br />
also stainless steel — that descends from the ceiling above the island.<br />
“The kitchen is very modern,” Deleon says. “It was the builder’s choice<br />
and it’s one room we fell in love with and decided to keep. It hits the<br />
mark with a beautiful combination of metals and marble. It represents<br />
the clients’ style.”<br />
While Catania and Connell loved the kitchen as is, they asked Deleon<br />
for one addition: a wine wall. The installation — featuring floor-toceiling<br />
columns of wine bottles against a mirrored background in the<br />
dining area — creates a dramatic backdrop for meals.<br />
Catania and Connell, Deleon explains, are very knowledgeable<br />
clients. “They have specific tastes. They know what’s hot, what’s new,<br />
what’s next. It was all about how we put these things together that made<br />
them happy.” DNJ<br />
