editorinchief | LETTER 

Raise your hands. Who thinks 

function is important in a home? 

As we page through home design magazines and scroll through photos online, what 

captures our attention is how a room looks. Exquisitely woven natural fiber rugs. A 

luxurious soaking tub under a large window with a beautiful view. Bedrooms in a bold 

color. A kitchen with open shelving. A fridge-freezer sheathed in gleaming stainless steel. 

There’s nothing wrong with beautiful rooms — that’s what we aspire to present in 

print and online. But just as important — and often less visible — is the function factor. 

Is anyone in the home allergic to certain natural fiber rugs? Does that large window over 

the bathtub show the neighbors more than you want them to see? Will that bold color 

keep you awake at night? Is open shelving a dust trap? Is that fridge-freezer close enough 

to a landing spot so you don’t have to cart a 15-pound turkey through the kitchen? 

Trained designers are founts of knowledge about function as well as beauty, as 

shown in every story in this issue. In our cover story, a storage-packed butler’s pantry 

in a Mendham home also functions as an extra prep space to keep the mess out of the 

kitchen when entertaining, designer Marissa Sauer says (“Custom Blend,” page 24). 

Function was top of mind for Peter and Tracy Salerno when they redid the kitchen in their Bergen County 

home. “Aesthetics was important,” Peter told Assistant Editor Marirose Krall. “But in our last kitchen, 

aesthetics took over and the functionality wasn’t there.” Read how they took a different approach this time 

(“It Takes Two,” page 30). 

Suzanne and Bob Veninata wanted to update the kitchen in their 1980s Rumson home to be lighter, 

more inviting and functional enough to tackle day-to-day life yet refined enough to host stylish gatherings. 

Designer Jessica Fischer found the solutions (“Opposites Attract,” page 36). 

The French manor architecture and the gardens at Three Fields, site of the 2023 Mansion in May Showhouse 

& Gardens, inspired the beautiful interiors. But function was equally important for Robin Mitilenes and 

Susan Farcy, who designed the kitchen and keeping room, respectively. The kitchen’s cabinetry was handmade 

to look a hundred years old but with features that accommodate modern needs. The adjacent keeping room 

functions not only as a sitting area in front of an original fireplace but also for dining, working at a desk and 

even sitting to remove shoes after walking in the gardens (“European Adventure,” page 40). 

Adding functionality and their own personal stamp was important for Daniel and Melissa Tassé after 

they purchased a Colonial-style home in Summit. They chose Libby Langdon, an interior designer, product 

designer, author and television personality, to guide the interior redesign. The result is a refreshingly colorful 

home that also meets the couple’s functional needs (“Personality & Panache,” 51). 

Also, don’t miss Associate Editor Meg Fox’s top picks for desks and game tables, a true combination of fun 

and function (“At Work — or Play,” page 22). 

As we enter into the year’s coldest and most blustery months, we hope you will cozy up with these stories 

of beautiful and functional spaces.

INSPIRATION COMES IN 

MANY FORMS TO CRAFT 

A NON-COOKIE-CUTTER 

KITCHEN IN MORRIS COUNTY 

Honoring the unique construction 

and character-rich details of this 

Mendham home was a prime consideration for 

the full-scale remodel of its kitchen. “We aimed to 

curate a blend of historical elements infused with 

a touch of modern-industrial elegance, creating 

a style that resonated with the homeowners,” 

says Marissa Sauer, owner and lead designer at 

Design MACS in Franklin Lakes. 

Sauer and co-designer Lauren Collette reconfigured 

the space, capturing square footage from a 

former hallway and relocating doors and windows 

where they made sense. The space behind the 

range, for instance, called for an expanse of new 

black-framed windows that now usher in natural 

light and views. Coupled with the bespoke black 

enamel range hood at its center, “it emerges as a 

central feature in the design,” Sauer notes. Gold 

A bespoke range hood, embellished with matte gold rivets, 

takes center stage along an expanse of new black-framed 

windows in the Mendham kitchen. 

The center island’s distressed black finish, gold recessed 

inlays and thick walnut top feel authentic to the character 

and history of the home. “The apothecary-style cabinet, 

inspired by the homeowner’s favorite TV kitchen, now sits 

where the hallway’s entrance used to be,” designer Marissa 

Sauer says. Its pop of blue ties in with “Blue Dog” by George 

Rodrigue, a piece of art that influenced the kitchen’s 

palette as a whole. “A coordinating encaustic tile inlay adds 

warmth through the colors and pattern, grounding the 

central area around the island.” 



SINK WALL | Two dishwashers flank the farmhouse sink and base cabinet, designed to look like repurposed furniture. Cabinets containing kitchenware and more can be accessed also 

from the adjacent family room’s eat-in banquette (not shown). The defined opening between rooms keeps the television above the fireplace within view (also not shown). 

DOOR TO PANTRY | The refrigerator/freezer is clad in wood paneling that matches an adjacent door for a seamless look. The door opens to an expanded butler’s pantry in space 

acquired from a former hallway. 

rivets wrap around the hood, a detail visible even from the backyard. 

Custom cabinets handmade by A.E. Ezmat Woodworking + Design 

in Paterson contain specialty elements that look like reclaimed pieces of 

furniture, Sauer says. The distressed black island has a vintage feel with 

its 3-inch thick walnut top, while the base of the knotty pine sink cabinet 

appears timeworn with a dark walnut stain. Those features “fit with the 

history and character of the home,” Sauer says, and are paired with white 

cabinetry and countertops of “Desert” by Enigma Surfaces, a brand of 

quartz the designer favors for its close resemblance to marble. 

Veining in the countertops has a slight blue tint that ties in with the 

rest of the kitchen, which is designed with a range of influences. The 

moody blue apothecary-style cabinet (which replaced a hallway door) 

took cues from one of the homeowner’s favorite television series: Robert 

and Sol’s Spanish-inspired kitchen in “Grace & Frankie.” Ditto for the 

patterned encaustic cement tile flooring that grounds the central area 

around the island. 

The apothecary-style cabinet’s pop of blue harmonizes with an 

existing piece of prized artwork elsewhere in the home: an original 

“Blue Dog” painting by George Rodrigue that served as inspiration for 

the renovation as a whole, Sauer says. 

Claiming space from a side hallway also made way for an expanded 

butler’s pantry equipped with a coffee station, built-in microwave/ 

convection oven and more. The room can be accessed through a secret 

door camouflaged by a paneled front like the adjacent refrigerator/freezer. 

Says Sauer: “The custom cabinetry, wallpaper and wraparound library 

ladder maximize style and efficiency in this room,” which also hides 

necessities such as brooms and mops. 

Rounding out the kitchen’s collected-over-time appeal is a range of 

hardware styles and finishes in brass, bronze or black. Coordinating the 

brass finishes or tones in the hardware and lighting, which can vary by 

manufacturer, was a challenge on its own, Sauer says. “We explored a 

variety of samples” to get it right. DNJ 


The efficient storage-packed butler’s 

pantry also functions as an extra prep 

space to keep the mess out of the 

kitchen when entertaining, Sauer says. 

A custom library-like ladder offers 

easy access to pantry items.

It Takes Two 

DESIGNERS — AND ACCOMPLISHED CULINARY ENTHUSIASTS — 

CREATE A KITCHEN THAT WORKS FOR THEM BOTH 


WRITTEN BY MARIROSE KRALL 

PHOTOS BY MIKE VAN TASSELL | DESIGN BY PETER AND TRACY SALERNO 

Separate islands are geared to 

the homeowners’ individual 

cooking needs. Tracy Salerno 

begins her baking projects at the 

island near the refrigerator. Peter 

Salerno makes pizza and pasta at 

the island with the stools. 


You’d be hard-pressed to find a couple more enthusiastic 

about kitchen design than Tracy and Peter Salerno. That’s to 

be expected: the pair are the owners of Wyckoff-based Peter 

Salerno Inc. — a kitchen design firm that’s won countless industry 

awards. But when the Salernos decided to renovate the kitchen in their 

own Bergen County home, they had more than design on their minds. 

“Everything in this kitchen was all about function,” Peter says. “Aesthetics 

was important, but in our last kitchen, aesthetics took over and the 

functionality wasn’t there.” 

Practicality and efficiency were important because both Peter and Tracy 

are accomplished cooks who’ve each created their own workspace in the 

kitchen. “We have two islands,” Peter says. “Tracy has a full, doubledepth 

island so she can do her baking. The other one is for my pasta and 

pizza making.” Each was designed specifically to maximize task-specific 

storage. The baking island holds bowls, food containers and cookbooks. 

The pasta and pizza island holds Peter’s extensive array of equipment, 

including a hand-crank pasta machine, drying racks and assorted ravioli 

cutters (notably heart, snowman and angel designs, which delight the 


The deep-purple hood is framed 

by Gothic-style glass-paned 

cabinets. “We wanted doors that 

had character,” Peter Salerno 

says. The rest of the cabinet 

doors feature an exaggerated 

bevel. “We didn’t want typical 

Shaker-style doors,” he adds. 

“We upgraded to 1¼-inch 

thickness. They don’t look flimsy; 

they look substantial.” Tracy 

explains the selection of the 

backsplash tile: “We chose this 

pattern to mimic the curvature 

of the mullions and the 

curvature of the hood.”

couple’s granddaughters). When the Salernos entertain, as they often do, 

the islands become serving spots. “Tracy’s island” is used to hold the food, 

buffet-style, while “Peter’s island” is for the drinks. 

The island cabinetry is a pale celery tone, while the perimeter cabinetry 

is white. Those soft hues set a gentle foundation, leaving the dramatic 

statement to the show-stopping purple range hood. Peter notes, “When 

I design, I design with focal points. I usually start with the range because 

that is similar to what the hearth was 1,000 years ago — the focus of every 

home, for both warmth and for cooking.” It was Tracy who came up with 

the concept for the hood. “I wanted to do something really cool and 

different,” she explains. “I thought we could make it look like a steamer 

trunk, with straps in copper. I wanted copper because it’s welcoming.” 

Peter took out his sketchbook and got to work. When he’d finished, 

Tracy sprung her daring color idea on him. She asked, “Why don’t we 

incorporate something really bold, like purple?” They agreed the rich, 

deep tone would work beautifully with the cabinet colors. 

The eggplant hue on the hood was color matched with the “Flamberge” 

Rôtisserie from La Cornue, a wish-list item for Peter. “I told Tracy it was 


“Newer tin doesn’t have a deep 

embossment like these [on the 

refrigerator] do. These are over 

an inch thick, double the depth 

of what a tin panel would be 

nowadays.” 

— PETER SALERNO 

The tin on the refrigerator doors was salvaged from a New Orleans blacksmith 

shop. Versace plates displayed above the refrigerator coordinate with the range 

hood and rotisserie. The floor tile, including the leaf design, was retained from the 

previous kitchen. 

“Everything in this kitchen is about function,” Peter says. This drawer is outfitted 

with dividers to separate coffee pods. 

my dream to sit at our kitchen table in front of the rotisserie (another 

nod to the fireplace of ancient times), have Andrea Boccelli playing in the 

background and see Cornish hens turning.” 

The tin on the refrigerator doors is another, more literal, nod to history. 

It was salvaged from the New Orleans shop of 19th-century blacksmith 

(and possible pirate) Jean Lafitte. The couple had the tin pieces — which 

were part of the ceiling in the original smithy — whitewashed with 

copper highlights. “They’re very cool,” Peter says. “Newer tin doesn’t have 

a deep embossment like these do. These are over an inch thick, double the 

depth of what a tin panel would be nowadays.” 

The finished project — a beautiful blend of function and aesthetics — 

is a tribute to the Salernos’ spirit of cooperation and negotiation. “It was 

a total collaboration,” Peter says. “For example, I chose the rotisserie; 

Tracy picked the color. This project was a matter of asking ‘what do I 

need? What do you need? What’s really important to you?’ and going 

from there.” DNJ

A RUMSON KITCHEN FEATURES A PALE PALETTE WITH BOLD ACCENTS 

WRITTEN BY MARIROSE KRALL | PHOTOS BY ANDREW FRASZ | DESIGN BY JESSICA FISCHER 

The soapstone backsplash and the 

custom brass range hood, both featuring 

variegated tones, add depth and 

movement to the room.

Organic materials, such as rattan, 

bring warmth and texture. 

The kitchen in Suzanne and Bob Veninata’s 1980s Rumson 

home had served its purpose. Now, it was time for a new 

look. “The clients sought to transform the dated space into 

a modern, open and functional area that would also be lighter and more 

inviting,” designer Jessica Fischer says. 

The homeowners know a thing or two about home design: Bob owns 

Rumson-based Veninata Construction and Suzanne is a licensed real 

estate salesperson with Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Fair Haven. The 

couple hired Fischer, owner of JFD Creative in Rumson, to help their 

vision for the kitchen come to life. “They were looking to create a warm 

and inviting space that felt contemporary without being overly trendy.” 

In addition, Fischer notes, “they wanted a space that was relaxed enough 

to tackle day-to-day life effectively and refined enough to host stylish 

gatherings when necessary.” 


Caned doors on the built-in cabinetry slide closed to hide 

the convenient desk and reveal drawers and display shelves. 

Like the island, it is made from natural white oak. 

“Organic elements were 

thoughtfully incorporated 

to bring additional texture 

and warmth to the space.” 

— JESSICA FISCHER 

Fischer began with an understated palette to reflect the more easygoing 

attitude the clients wanted in their renovated space. “We opted for a soft 

and neutral base as the foundation for the new design.” That base includes 

white perimeter cabinetry alongside soft wood tones in the natural white 

oak island and desk/storage station. The white shiplap ceiling underscores 

the nonchalant, calm vibe and, the designer notes, “it adds architectural 

interest, allowing the space to feel larger and expansive.” 

The room is accessorized with natural components that reinforce the 

peaceful attitude of the neutral foundation. Fischer explains: “Organic 

elements were thoughtfully incorporated. The materials — rattan accents 

and natural woods — were carefully considered to bring additional 

texture and warmth to the space.” In the dining area, a woven chandelier 

above the table coordinates with the seats on the chairs as well as the 

caned doors on the desk/storage cabinet. 

The flooring, which consists of porcelain tile in five sizes, features taupe, 

ecru and off-white shades. “It differentiates the space from the rest of the 

home while bringing in additional warmth and texture,” Fischer says. 

Bold accents bring vigor to the otherwise muted 

palette. The black dining table and chair frames 

create a striking contrast to the rattan elements. 

The light and the dark elements play well together, 

striking an ideal balance between laid-back charm 

and robust drama. The rich soapstone countertop on the perimeter 

cabinetry and the matching range backsplash complement the black 

components and feature striations that offer depth and movement. 

“Overall, the renovation successfully transformed the kitchen into a 

modern, functional and visually interesting space that aligned with the 

homeowners’ vision,” the designer says. “We were able to combine a 

bright, neutral aesthetic with modern aspects for an inviting and practical 

kitchen and dining area.” DNJ

ARCHITECTURE AND THE QUEST FOR A COMFORTABLE, INVITING ATMOSPHERE 

INFLUENCE THE DESIGN OF THE KITCHEN AND KEEPING ROOM AT THREE FIELDS 

WRITTEN BY REN MILLER 

PHOTOS BY MIKE VAN TASSELL 

KITCHEN DESIGN BY ROBIN MITILENES 

CABINETRY BY DEAN ZISA 

KEEPING ROOM DESIGN BY SUSAN FARCY, ASID 

Steeply pitched tile roofs with arched dormers, 

wood casement windows with shutters, and 

French doors that open to terraces are among 

the architectural highlights of Three Fields, the site 

of the 2023 Mansion in May Showhouse & Gardens 

in the Borough of Mendham. 

The showhouse was presented by the Women’s 

Association for Morristown Medical Center 

(WAMMC) and raised funds to expand and 

modernize the Gagnon Institute of Bioskills Training 

and Innovation at MMC. At the conclusion of the 

showhouse, the WAMMC announced the monthlong 

event had exceeded its goal and raised $1.65 

million. Mansion in May is WAMMC’s signature 

fundraiser. Since the first showhouse in 1974, the 

event has generated more than $13 million for 

Morristown Medical Center. 

Three Fields was designed by New York architect 

Greville Rickard and built between 1928 and 1930 

for Benjamin Duncan Mosser and his wife, the 

former Florence Willets Mosford, and has passed 

through several owners since then. It sits on almost 

36 acres featuring formal gardens, pools and pastoral 

fields beyond. The architecture of the home itself 

is rustic yet formal, more manor than modest, and 

is filled with rooms that gave designers a chance to 

showcase their best work. Here we highlight two 

adjacent rooms that look right at home in the French 

manor architecture. 

A mix of materials and colors of nature creates a comfortably 

sophisticated ambience in the kitchen and keeping room at 

Three Fields. 


THE KITCHEN: 

AUTHENTIC FORM & FUNCTION 

The architecture of Three Fields and designer Robin 

Mitilenes’ frequent travels to France inspired her design 

of the kitchen at Mansion in May. Although the home 

has witnessed nearly a century of history, the kitchen is brand 

new because it switched places with the dining room, which was 

too dark and too small for the family’s needs, says Mitilenes, 

owner of RSM Interiors LLC in Far Hills. 

In its new location, the kitchen is a generous 800+ square 

feet with the addition of a little space from the pantry on one 

side and the foyer on the other. Mitilenes created a backdrop of 

age, texture and patina for the new kitchen by adding, among 

other elements, stone walls, limestone flooring from France 

and reclaimed white oak ceiling beams. “The design of arched 

doorways and the symmetry of the cabinets flanking the range 

hood give balance and are also key architectural features of a 

French manor-style home,” she adds. 

The kitchen opens to the keeping room, which features a 

large window and 9-foot-tall French doors that bring in plenty 

of natural light. These features and “many beautiful antiques 

I have collected through my travels to Europe enhance the 

feeling of a French country manor with relaxed sophistication,” 

Mitilenes adds. 

In addition to more space and light, switching the spaces 

allows the owners to enjoy an original stone fireplace whether 

they are in the kitchen or the keeping room. Mitilenes tied the 

two spaces together visually by cladding the fireplace wall and 

FRENCH MANOR STYLE IS SIMILAR TO FRENCH 

COUNTRY, BUT THE FORMER IS A LITTLE MORE 

SOPHISTICATED AND THE LATTER MORE RUSTIC. 

“THE FRENCH COUNTRY MANOR WOULD BE WHERE 

A FAMILY OF NOBILITY WOULD ESCAPE TO FOR 

HOLIDAY, FOR RELAXING AND FOR ENJOYING THE 

BUCOLIC SETTING,” DESIGNER ROBIN MITILENES SAYS. 

“THE INTERIOR WOULD BE RICH WITH LUXURIOUS 

FABRICS, CURATED ANTIQUES AND IMPORTANT 

ARTIFACTS.” 

The 10-foot-long island resembles an old French buffet and provides storage 

space for baking and cooking needs. The designer stained and painted the 

custom ladderback stools herself and added a gathered skirt on the seats to 

soften the look. 



A custom Lacanche range is a centerpiece of the kitchen. The “feet” on the lower cabinets 

on each side of the range, cut from balusters of the original foyer stairway, were put in 

place to hold up the cabinets while workers awaited the planned skirting. Mitilenes kept 

them because she liked the way they look and also appreciated the nostalgia they add. 

A 50-inch apron-front brass sink sits under a large window with views of the front 

gardens. The relaxed Roman shades on the window feature a fox pattern in honor of the 

foxes that frolic on the grounds. The designer clad the walls in stone to add a timeworn 

feel to the new kitchen. 

kitchen walls in the same stone, referencing the partial stone façade of the 

rear of Three Fields. “My goal was to make the kitchen look original to 

the home, to make people feel like they were transported to an authentic 

French kitchen nestled in the Normandy countryside,” the designer says. 

Function was important as well. The homeowner likes to cook and 

wanted state-of-the-art appliances. The centerpiece is a custom 60- 

inch Lacanche range, which was handcrafted in France and required a 

12-month wait from order to delivery. Behind the range is a backsplash 

of blue and white handpainted terra cotta tiles donated by Euro Stone 

and Tile in Wyckoff. The range hood, reminiscent of one Mitilenes saw 

in France, was built in wood by Dean Zisa of Sage Design Studio LLC 

in Chester to fit the space and then covered in a limestone composite by 

Studio Eighteen in Kenvil. The mantel is a reclaimed oak beam. 

Other highlights include custom furniture-grade cabinets and island, 

which Zisa also crafted. “I wanted the cabinets to look like they had been 

built 100 years ago,” Mitilenes says, “and with Dean’s expertise I knew he 

would be the one to deliver this.” The top cabinets are made of 100-yearold 

reclaimed white oak with a wax finish to preserve and protect the 

color and richness of the wood, she says. The large hinges look like they’re 

from an old armoire for an authentic feel. Antiqued mesh inserts recall 

ones Mitilenes saw in photos of old French kitchens and those she visited 

herself on her travels. 

The lower cabinetry is rustic alder, which the designer chose because 

the wood’s natural cracks, pinholes, knots and grain variation lend an 

aged appearance, as does an off-white painted finish. “Using curved 

aprons for kickplates gave the lower cabinets a furniture-grade feel,” 

she notes. 

Another highlight, a 50-inch sink placed under a large window 


Painted panels disguise the refrigerator/freezer. Despite the kitchen’s generous 

dimensions, finding a convenient spot for the refrigerator/freezer was a challenge. 

A small lower cabinet and upper shelves to the right provide an extra slice of storage 

and keep the refrigerator/freezer from obscuring part of the window. 

Antiqued mesh inserts and large hinges lend an aura of age to the new upper cabinets, 

which are made from 100-year-old reclaimed white oak. The cabinets were given a 

wax finish to highlight and protect their color and richness. The new lower cabinets are 

painted off-white for an aged appearance. 

where the homeowner can enjoy views of the front yard, is made of 

unlacquered brass that’s hammered on the inside and smooth on the 

apron. The 10-foot-long island resembles an old French buffet with 

curved wood moldings and 16 antique brass handles from France. 

It provides much-needed storage for baking and cooking needs and 

features a custom antiqued brass sink and unlacquered brass faucet. 

The island countertop is honed Calacatta marble and the perimeter 

countertop is honed Pietra Cardosa, an Italian slate with deep gray 

coloring and sporadic veining. Both countertop materials were donated 

by Dente Trading Co. in Cedar Grove. 

The project wasn’t without challenges. A massive structural ceiling 

beam ran directly through where the range hood needed to be. Mitilenes 

solved the issue by adding a matching beam that neatly divided the 

combined kitchen and keeping room into thirds and then ran smaller 

beams perpendicular to the large ones. The structural beam was sheathed 

with thin slices of reclaimed wood to match the additional beams; 

Mitilenes credits Scandic Builders of Basking Ridge with making it all 

look authentic. 

With the range and generous cabinets dominating one wall and a large 

sink and more cabinetry on the perpendicular wall, Mitilenes found 

space for the refrigerator/freezer near the end of the sink wall. “Keeping 

the refrigerator within the working kitchen triangle was tough because 

I needed to keep it as close to the sink as possible while securing some 

working countertop space next to it,” she says. 

Pendant lights above the island are brass and copper with seeded glass, 

adding luster to the space. The sconces above the sink are vintage, adding 

just the right amount of ambient light to highlight the limestone walls 

and complete the look. 


Susan Farcy faced an almost blank slate when she first saw the 

space that would become the keeping room at Three Fields. 

The space, adjacent to the kitchen, had been gutted, but 

the new studs were on the walls and a new subfloor, two sets of custom 

French doors and a large center window were already in place. That was 

all Farcy needed for inspiration, or more to the point, the views through 

those doors and window were all she needed. “I wanted to capture the 

beautiful grounds so they could be enjoyed from indoors all year around,” 

says Farcy a professional member of the American Society of Interior 

Designers and principal of Susan Farcy Interior Design LLC in Wyckoff. 

To that end, she commissioned a mural by Glen Rock artist Christine 

D’Angelo to highlight details from the landscape seen through the 

windows. The mural includes representations of Japanese Katsura trees 

that were planted when the estate was developed and some of which 

remain today. A closer look at the mural also reveals foxes romping 

through the landscape, just like ones that still visit the property. 

The flora and fauna of Three Fields also inspired the colors and textures 

of the fabrics Farcy chose for the seating, drapery and tablecloth. The 


THE KEEPING ROOM: 

COMFORTABLE, INVITING & TIMELESS 

Designer Susan Farcy’s goal for the keeping room was to create “a welcoming area with comfortable seating where guests could enjoy a good 

conversation with a glass of wine by a crackling fire.” 

A small table in front of the large window offers a view of the backyard and is a perfect spot to play a game or enjoy a meal. 

The desk adds to the room’s function, providing a place where the owners can check emails or the kids can do homework. The bench is a 

convenient spot to sit while removing shoes after walking in the gardens. 

layering of soft blues, greens and creams helped to create the comfortable 

look she wanted, featuring 14 French and English fabrics for a layered 

look, though none of them overpowers the others. “I do comfortable, 

inviting and timeless interiors, which are appropriate in a home of this 

era and scale or anywhere where a welcoming home is the objective,” she 

says. For this space, “I envisioned the room as a comfortable place where 

family and friends would gather near the kitchen.” 

Visitors to the showhouse found the large space relatable, she notes, 

because each part served a purpose while still feeling part of the whole. 

One side of the room is anchored by the home’s original fireplace and 

French limestone mantel backed by a new limestone wall installed to 

look a hundred years old. “My goal was to create a welcoming area with 

comfortable seating where guests could enjoy a good conversation with 

a glass of wine by a crackling fire,” she says. Vintage slipper chairs were 

reupholstered in an ivory, blue and green fabric while English armchairs 

wear a textured blue fabric; a flame-stitch pattern on the storage ottoman 

adds another layer of interest. A round mirror on the fireplace mantel 

reflects light into the sitting area, while a low cabinet with fretwork 


on the doors draws the eye to the mural and French doors leading to a 

swimming pool. 

A small table in front of the large window offers a picturesque view of 

the backyard and provides a perfect spot to play a game or enjoy breakfast 

in the morning or an intimate dinner in the evening. The drapery in a 

check pattern and an airy chandelier with custom leaf-pattern shades add 

relaxed country appeal. Embroidered foxes on the table skirt are a playful 

nod to the foxes that frequent the estate and were a serendipitous choice 

of fabric because, unknown to Farcy, kitchen designer Robin Mitilenes 

had chosen the same pattern for her window treatments, though in a 

different colorway. 

Opposite the fireplace wall, the designer amped up the room’s function 

even more by adding a desk where the owners can check emails or kids 

can do homework. Next to the desk and the room’s other set of French 

doors, a bench is a convenient spot to sit while removing shoes after 

walking in the gardens. 

The room “is an inviting space where friends and family can gather … in 

a cozy environment,” Farcy says. DNJ

COLOR, PATTERN AND 

ORIGINALITY INSPIRE 

A HOME RENOVATION 

IN SUMMIT 

When Daniel and Melissa Tassé purchased their traditional 

Colonial-style home in Summit, they recognized its potential 

and began to explore ways to change up the interior to get the look and 

functionality they needed — all with their own personal stamp. 

After consulting with architect John James, AIA, principal of John James 

Architecture in Maplewood, they embarked on a gut renovation alongside 

The foyer announces the clients’ love of color and pattern and 

says “Welcome, we have fun here!” designer Libby Langdon says. 

“Oftentimes, foyers are treated as a pass-through space or don’t 

get as much design love as living and dining rooms, but it’s the 

perfect way to kick off the dynamic design of your home.” 


interior and product designer Libby Langdon and other key contributors: 

contractor Brinton Brosius of Maplewood and kitchen and bath designer 

Melissa Seibold of Canterbury Designs in Morristown. 

For Langdon, principal of New York City-based Libby Langdon 

Interiors, this would be her fourth design project with the “fun and 

fabulous” couple, who she says have become her friends. “I call Melissa 

the house whisperer because she knows how to make everything so 

incredibly functional and really thinks through what’s the best way to 

make things work for the way they live.” 

Architectural plans called for a new kitchen, updated bathrooms and 

the conversion of an unfinished attic into a third-story office and bedroom 

— and so much more. “Because we were going for a sleeker design, curved 

archways from the foyer to all the rooms were squared off and made a little 

larger for a more open feel that was less traditional,” Langdon says. 


An existing cow painting adds a sense of whimsy to the dining room in hues that are highlighted 

throughout. “Sometimes, people take their dining rooms too seriously. You can still have absolutely 

stunning and important furniture in your dining room, but you can also have some fun with it!” 

Langdon says. 

A multicolor chair pattern became the “connector” fabric that unites the different colors in the 

dining room: jewel tones such as the rich green accent wall, the high-gloss eggplant ceiling, and 

accents of black and gold. 

Even though the exterior is a stately Colonial, “the interior is anything 

but,” Langdon says. “I had fun reimagining what a fresh, updated design 

could look like in the bones of a traditional home.” She and the owners 

“had a blast working together, taking design chances where bold color, 

patterns and wallpaper were incorporated in unexpected ways. 

The couple’s existing artwork collection — especially those works 

with special meaning — influenced the color stories as they came to 

life. “If a room wasn’t being designed around a particular piece, I still 

had in the back of my mind where pieces might live when it came 

time to install.” 

The foyer, which kicks off the home’s dynamic design scheme, “feels 

like one big, happy hug,” Langdon says. Using different colors with 

pink as the primary tone has an uplifting effect. “It says ‘Welcome, we 

have fun here!’” Two multicolored upholstered ottomans pair up with a 


old abstract area rug and accessories with fun pops of color, including a 

favorite pink-hued painting. 

Nearby, Langdon shook up the notion of a formal living room, she 

says, with upholstered ottomans in a soft gray, orange and hot pink 

pattern, colors that became the springboard for the room’s palette. Colorblock 

drapes with pops of orange balance the richness of fuchsia swivel 

chairs while black accents — via the ceiling’s unexpected graphic black 

and white wallpaper pattern — tie in with the room’s black baby grand 

(not shown in photo). 

In the dining room, a multicolor fabric the clients loved connects 

all the jewel tones in the room, including the hues in a whimsical cow 

painting, Langdon says. “If you build a room around a fabric you adore, 

you’re guaranteed to love the design when it’s complete.” 

Melissa “is a fabulous cook” and the couple love to entertain, Langdon 


says, so these factors were top of mind in the design process. In the 

kitchen, with cabinetry designed by Canterbury Designs, food prep areas, 

how cabinets were laid out and what was going to be in each cabinet were 

completely thought through, Langdon says. “Aesthetic was important but 

functionality was paramount.” 

The kitchen is clean and sleek with just the right amount of contrast 

between the ecru cabinet tone and the rich stain of the island and butcher- 

A soft gray, orange and hot pink fabric on the ottomans became the spring board for the living 

room’s color palette. The ceiling’s graphic black and white wallpaper introduces an unexpected 

and fun element that also complements a beautiful black baby grand piano (not shown). 

This light-filled home office designed for Melissa Tassé was formerly a dark wood-paneled 

billiard room. A fresh paint scheme, new built-ins and chic embroidered sheers capitalize on 

the room’s natural light. In lieu of a large angular desk, they opted for a sophisticated stonetop 

Saarinen table and other luxe, feminine-inspired elements. 


lock work surface, Langdon says. Veining in the Taj Mahal quartzite 

surfaces repeats the cabinetry’s warm ecru finish. Geometric wallpaper 

from Phillip Jeffries “is the perfect textural blend” of ecru and brown 

tones, she adds. In such a large kitchen with a small amount of wall space, 

“it could take the pattern without being overwhelming.” 

Cool blue tones on the upholstered walnut-backed counter stools 

and the seats of the dining chairs offset the warmth of the cabinetry and 

coordinate with the new butler’s pantry — a smart addition created after 

a bay window along the back wall was converted to a door and floor-toceiling 

windows, which freed up space for the pantry. 

The owners and architect reinvented the space in other ways as well. 

Lowering the formerly vaulted ceiling in the family room, for instance, 

provided additional square footage directly above it for a more spacious 

primary suite and walk-in closet. The family room’s new coffered ceiling 

“is such a wonderful architectural detail,” Langdon says. She highlighted 

that feature by painting the ceiling in a high-gloss mineral color. “The 

gloss finish bounces light around the room during the day and at night,” 

she says. “I love the reflective quality!” 

By design, the family room is light, bright and user-friendly. “In a 

family room it’s important that everyone has the best seat in the house, a 


comfy spot to put your feet up and a place to put down a drink,” Langdon 

says. A combination of supple velvet fabrics, including the performance 

fabric on the cream sectionals, contributes to its soft and cozy feel. 

Probably one of the most impactful changes involved the conversion of 

a dark attic into a usable third level, Langdon says. This process entailed 

adding skylights and opening the stairwell so natural light carries all the 

way down to the first floor. “Not only was it a huge shift in how the home 

feels, it brought so much light into the house as well as enough square 

footage for the husband’s office and son’s bedroom.” 

The result is a home that resonates with the owners’ sense of style and 

The kitchen’s ecru-toned cabinets, designed by Canterbury Designs, incorporate 

details such as glass doors with decorative wood inlays. Taj Mahal Quartzite used on 

the countertops and backsplash “has striking movement in the veining” and repeats 

the cabinetry’s warm ecru tone, Langdon says. The island’s dark stain and butcherblock 

work surface lend contrast. 

“I wanted to bring in cool blue tones to play off the warmth of the main cabinetry 

and because it looks fantastic paired with the brown walnut colors,” Langdon says. It 

also repeats the blue tone from the adjacent butler’s pantry. A geometric wallpaper 

pattern from Phillip Jeffries “is the perfect textural blend” of the room’s ecru and 

brown hues, she adds. In a large kitchen with limited wall space, “it could take the 

pattern without being overwhelming.” 


how they live. “I think they truly loved how everything came together 

and how their vision grew, morphed and eventually came to life,” 

Langdon says. DNJ

A mudroom/laundry area “should absolutely be a spot to take design chances and add elements that will make you smile,” Langdon says. “You’re 

in there doing laundry after all!” In this case, the clients chose a high-energy Knoll vinyl wallpaper and “super fun” gooseneck faucet by Hansgrohe 

in bright pink. Painting the trimwork in the same blue hue as the cabinetry also “makes a style statement in a small space.” 

In the family room, “We landed on this soft mineral spa color paired with creams and tan and a few pops of teal,” Langdon says. Texture was 

important, the designer adds. She used a combination of velvet fabrics, including performance fabric on the cream sectionals, to ensure a soft 

and cozy feel. The new coffered ceiling was painted in a high-gloss mineral color that bounces light around the room day and night. 


Converting an unfinished attic into an 

office and bedroom “was a brilliant use of 

space,” Langdon says. A custom 29-footlong 

chandelier with lanterns on all three 

levels accentuates the open stairwell, 

which is flooded with natural light from 

new skylights. The hallway’s graphic 

wallpaper pattern “feels organic and 

showcases many different tones of blue,” 

she says. “It’s like artwork all on its own.” 

In the husband’s office (opposite), cleanlined 

furnishings mimic the straight lines 

of the glass door and windows, Langdon 

says. The live-edge desk has a waterfall 

detail on one side, plexiglass on the other. 

The son’s bedroom (below) is its own 

appealing hideaway with its classic Eames 

chair and range of wood finishes and 

textures.

Serene and peaceful, the primary bedroom contains a 

hushed palette of pale gray, silver, cream and champagne 

tones. “I wanted to add some texture but in a soft way, so 

we did a wonderful putty-toned wood veneer wallpaper 

on the wall behind the bed for subtle dimension,” Langdon 

says. Flocked silverleaf wallpaper on the ceiling inset adds 

a touch of glam. “When the chandelier is lit, the ceiling 

reflects the most beautiful glow,” Langdon says. 

The primary bath’s bold stone pattern in the shower is 

tempered by its subtle colorway. “Brass hardware and 

fixtures add such a warmth to the bathroom space with all 

the pale gray in the stone and vanities,” Langdon says. 

“I love the herringbone stone the clients chose for the 

window wall,” Langdon says. “It’s striking and such a beautiful 

backdrop for the tub.” Crystal rod sconces mounted directly 

on the mirrors “have just enough glitz and are reflective even 

if they are not turned on.”
