Inside the Weston Home of a Mother and Son Design Team

Leslie and Sam Allen, mother and son, outside their Weston home, a 1930s English-style cottage.

A cashmere throw and zebra linen pillows from Dovecote grace a window seat in Sam’s room.

The cast-iron urns and bases are painted with Benjamin Moore Deep River, the house in Benjamin Moore Silver Satin.

In the living room, an antique Persian Serapi is layered on top of a sisal area rug from New York Carpet. The oil painting above the fireplace mantel belonged to Leslie’s grandfather.

The round rattan table was a gift from Leslie’s friend and mentor Shirley Cohen.

For the powder room, the designer chose a Farrow & Ball wallpaper in a color that matches the border on some hand towels from her former shop.

An Elizabeth Eakins linen rug anchors the master bedroom where the bed is covered in Lands’ End linens.

Cole & Son wallpaper is a calming influence in the master bath; pottery and porcelain bowls are by Frances Palmer and Elizabeth Eakins.

Bought when he was much younger, the cowhide rug works perfectly with Scalamandré wallpaper. A Mary McDonald tangerine lacquer table lamp from Dovecote sits atop a white lacquer nightstand from Bungalow.

Sam accessorized his office with a lacquer Parsons desk from West Elm, polished nickel desk lamps from Bungalow and a linen Rogers & Goffigon window treatment.

An Ikea cabinet artfully displays ribbons and trims in Leslie’s office.

Leslie’s spacious office is light and airy thanks to its second-floor perch and multiple windows, including two small ones from the original garage. The large worktable, where she lays out projects, has a plywood top wrapped in galvanized metal.
