5 Beautiful Things

 

Decorating Details at The Beekman

I spent this last weekend in beautiful Sharon Springs with some friends of mine and had a chance to catch up with Brent and Josh at their home. On this occasion, I made it a point to really look at some of the details they have used in their decor – and to photograph them for posterity. Ever the busy farmers, Brent and Josh let me explore the house while they tended to their many outdoor chores. It was quiet as I ventured through storied halls of the Beekman, letting my mind wander and my eye fall upon some of the subtle elements that give the rooms their quiet elegance. When you’re decorating your own spaces, always be mindful of the smaller things that can help a room attain its welcoming atmosphere: the pattern of lace against the light, the shine and shadow of damask, the embroidery on an heirloom coverlet or a treasured painting. Below are five of my photographs from my visit to their home.
