Rooms with a view

Article Abstract:

The South Orange home of a violinist couple is a place of almost dreamlike calm with its white on white interior, minimalist aesthetic, and touches of natural wood. The sleek, low-slung horizontal lines of the ranch-style house offers an efficient, functional floor plan and an easy connection to the outdoors, a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass brings in light and a good view of nature, and the kitchen and dining areas as a single space and the use of white throughout gives a sense of space and peace.

What's cookin'?

On the same frequency

Article Abstract:

Each room is designed to have a purpose, with red and orange strongly present in the color scheme of the decor, and the dining room is a blend of contemporary pieces and antiques.
