MARY BRENDLER
Indigo Z Home
Mary Brendler was tasked with a major renovation of this splendid Pound Ridge room while main- taining the dining table and chairs of the former space. To create a simple yet elegant gathering area that honors both antique and contemporary features, the traditional furniture was paired with a striking chandelier, simple yet attractive rug, and grasscloth. The dark green of the upholstery adds a contrasting element to the otherwise neutral palette.

Debra Kling Colour Consultant
Intended for children and adults alike, this New Rochelle open-plan dining room serves as a com- fortable yet elegant space where the whole family can gather. Warm hues are found in the form of furnishings and decor; custom walnut cabinetry is complemented by a live-edge table made from
a thick walnut slab, along with the seating for 10. Designer Debra Kling, known for her propensity to incorporate bold, vibrant colors, added in the client’s favorite color, turquoise, with wallpaper, an inviting window seat, and a leather-trimmed indoor/outdoor sisal carpet. A custom built-in bar, with antique-mirror mosaic by First Class Woodworking, anchors the room and serves as an enter- taining area for daytime celebrations or an intimate evening for two. The space is elevated to new heights with dazzling handblown lighting that adds drama.
