3/13Photographs by John BesslerThe well-designed living room also doubles as a kid-friendly family room. Annie Mahoney designed a pair of barrel chairs, which are smaller than average but can easily accommodate a man’s larger frame. The mantel is painted a pale blue; custom sofas flank an oversized ottoman covered in a playful animal print by Cowtan & Tout’s. The fabric on a pair of French chairs is China Seas ZeZe from Quadrille. Pillows in a variety of patterns add vibrant accents.Photographs by John BesslerThe well-designed living room also doubles as a kid-friendly family room.

The white linen window treatments are a breezy touch.Photographs by John BesslerJust off the kitchen, the sun-filled family room sports a pair of Deco-era hide chairs that have a retro feel.
