GALLERY Designer Christopher Maya Brightens Up a Grand Georgian

The sunroom walls and ceilings are a burst of brightness in Benjamin Moore’s Glass Slipper with trim and beams in Benjamin Moore’s Ivory White. Katie Ridder’s hand-painted Pagoda linen in Ruby makes for conversation-piece chairs. Ceramic elephant garden stools are from Prima Antiques. Raoul Textiles’ Robin’s Egg linen graces the sofa, punched up with a Loro Piana orange cashmere pillow. Custom stools sport a Holland & Sherry leather. The rug is from Elizabeth Eakins.

Graceful steps lead from the lawn and pool up to the rear of the home.

Original checkerboard flooring sets an elegant tone in the entry, as do appropriately chosen antiques, such as a George III serving table from the 18th century and a 19th-century Rococo bench, both in mahogany. The mirror sitting atop, from BK Antiques, is also mahogany and gilt wood, and the set of the obelisks is from Gerald Bland. A Rococo red-painted Jansen chair adds a functional note. Walls are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Snow on the Mountains.

In the living room, a pair of custom Paley chairs covered in a Robert Kime linen flank a custom coffee table and a sofa in a rich mohair velvet from Holland & Sherry; the vase atop the custom coffee table is by Brooklyn artist Yumiko Kuga. A Chesney mantel with blue marble insets anchors the far end of the living room. Decorative painter Arthur Fowler used a glazing technique and custom color to cover the walls.

An antique Robert Thompson table fits into the kitchen’s breakfast area with a set of 19th-century oak chairs, both found at Ann-Morris; Benjamin Moore’s Cloud Cover colors the walls.

The custom three-pedestal table and chairs become the focal point in the dining room. Decorative paint by Arthur Fowler is the backdrop to silver accents, such as a pair of European candlesticks and Art Deco double-light silver and bronze sconces above the fireplace. A New Zealand wool carpet from Woven New York anchors the space.

Knotty pine paneling wraps the walls of the library, where the sofa is covered in a Claremont Carriage Cloth and finished off with a custom Passementerie cotton braid.

The library fireplace is well-appointed with an antique English fire fender and a set of Georgian fire tools.

In the billiards room, a pair of Lee Calicchio mid-century chairs face a bench with seating covered in a Holland & Sherry wool and linen blend.

In the family room, Etro’s Ajuga in Sottobosco through Clarence House adds a playful touch to the sofa, while complementing a custom tufted ottoman in Clarence House’s Knightsbridge in Red merino wool.

Separate areas give the family room added texture as well as interest. A loveseat covered in Holland & Sherry's Raya in Celadon takes its place, as does a delicate card table and chairs where family and friends can tuck into a game or two. Carpet is from Elizabeth Eakins. Clarence House grasscloth covers the ceiling.

Blue hues in a bedroom start with a Manuel Canovas fabric-covered headboard accented with Passementerie trim. Reading material is stacked on a Yew Tree Antiques bench.

Claremont’s Serge Antiques wallcovering continues the chamber’s cool vibe; the armchair is outfitted in a Chelsea Editions fabric. A petite sunporch beckons, with Roman shades in another Chelsea Editions fabric.

A guest bathroom has Kohler sinks housed in soothing gray marble; Lefroy Brooks faucets are polished nickel; and the stone tile is a Cararra Marble basket weave.

The master bedroom has Benjamin Moore’s Feather Dawn on the walls and Elephant Tusk for the trim and bookcases. A custom Elizabeth Eakins wool rug continues the restful thread. Chelsea Textiles are used for the custom headboard, bed skirt and Roman shades. A settee at the foot of the bed is covered in a Claremont fabric, while more seating is provided by a custom Odum chair in a Colefax & Fowler plaid and a sofa upholstered in a Claremont blue linen. The St. James swing-arm sconces are fashioned from unlacquered brass.
