Unexpected Color & Pattern in a Gramercy Park Home

NYC designer Sara Story's work seems at once embedded in tradition and full of unexpected surprises. Take, for instance, these details from one of her Gramercy Park projects...

We're loving the wallpapered shelfbacks, the saturated ceiling color, and the glossy red wood panel wainscotting. Check out that painted wood floor in the dining room, too. See more of the home at Sara Story Design.

That red wainscoting would be an awesome method for the common AT dilemma: "I rent, but hate my bathroom tile colors!" Of course, you'd need to be able to have a little DIY blood in your genes, but that looks great. Not to mention the awesome floor tiles and sink.

And that DR floor is awesome. Makes me wish I had a floor I need to paint!

That purple ceiling and painted floor with white walls is crisp and unexpected!

I love the bathroom and the floors in the dining room. I think the gray and white room is ugh! but the painting that says "orange" is really clever - made me laugh.

So lovely. I'm enjoying the patterns in the living room and the red of the bathroom!
