Screen Queen
I don’t tend to use the same furniture, colors, or anything really from one project to the next. Creating one-of-a-kind interiors means originality has to be a priority. There is one thing, however, that makes its way into Huntley & Co. interiors more often than not … the ever-fabulous SCREEN. New, old, folding, curved, wood, upholstered, tall, short – there is a screen to fit the bill. They can fill a corner, hide a TV, hold a wall, create privacy, complement art, and even act as a secret passageway. They can be nuanced or bold, custom or exquisitely crafted. Honestly, the screen is so epic and versatile, it should be in all of our projects!

A gold screen with hand-painted scenery over an antique sideboard helps create a “landing space” in a townhouse living area that lacks a true foyer.

Wishing you and yours a peaceful and joy-filled Thanksgiving. If you are shopping on Black Friday, check out our Chairish store, GREATHOUSE. Some of my best vintage and antique finds from near and far are available. And in the not so distant future, I guarantee there will be a screen or two for sale as well – every home needs one!

Chez Huntley – update 07/15
After a painful start to 2011 and an arduous renovation on the Huntley & Co. office, I
am happy to say that work has finally begun on my own home. Phase 1 is underway!
The millwork, the hardware, the furnishings and the fabrics have all been selected. The
subcontractors are on site and all is chugging along. It’s a little bit surreal, in fact. I’ve
overseen dozens of renovation projects, but it feels a lot different in my own space. I’m
fortunate that I can document all the progress on Luxe & Lucid for posterity. Cheers
to progress. Cheers to design. And cheers to the new and improved chez Huntley!
– The Facade –
A little more groomed, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.
– The Public Rooms Scheme –
The fabrics and finishes for the first floor rooms have a natural yet glamorous
vibe that suit the architecture of the house as well as my own aesthetic.
I’m sure there will be a little tweaking, but I definitely have a scheme in place.
– Paint Colors –
Neutrals have countless nuances, so you have to pick the value and hue that
complement your lighting, furnishings and softgoods. So far I’ve settled on
Benjamin Moore’s Vanilla Milkshake and Sherwin William’s Windfresh White.
