Among the collections displayed in the dining room: transferware, alder-wood baguette boards, and rattan wine baskets. Sarah is also an avid collector of of all things avian—taxidermied birds, nests, and cages.
Living Room
With such an eccentric mix of decor, Sarah felt bold color would be a bad idea. "If I had put up chintz wallpaper, you wouldn't notice the architectural shape of a birdcage or the patina of a wooden milking stool," she explains. "White reveals nuances." It can also be surprisingly warm. Instead of basic white paint, Sarah had an artisan spray the walls with a watered-down blend of several creamy hues before troweling the plaster—yielding a rich effect with tinges of gray and putty and yellow that's different in every room.
In this photo: The living room coffee table was once a cider press. Verellen makes the slouchy slipcovered sofa, while the bookcases and trumeau mirror came from Sarah's own store, Chateau Sonoma. Here, Sarah and Darius play with their son Tyge, 3.
As intended, the backdrop highlights the subtle contrasts of Sarah's vintage scores: the hammered-zinc surface of the breakfast table against the cast-iron chandelier above it. The vivid blue feathers of a stuffed peacock against the worn wood of a century-old clock salvaged from a French train depot (all from the famed Parisian shop Deyrolle). The rough weave of a jute rug against nubby linen slipcovers.
The living-room walls wear a darker custom-mixed color—the perfect foil for a mounted white deer found at an Atlanta flea market. It dons sleigh bells year-round.
