Tell us a little bit more about the materials you selected. What do you love about them?
"I knew I wanted walnut, marble, and brass. There’s something very traditional and handsome about those materials together. But the material with the strongest presence in Connelly is tile. Beautiful terra cotta subway tiles glazed in a creamy white, cover most of the walls with a thin black stripe running along the top. It’s almost like being at the bottom of a pool. This same creamy white is also dominant on the mosaic floor, but framed in a thick border of black and maroon zellige tiles. I love the contrast of the textured mosaic floor against the smooth tiled walls."
