As the days grow shorter, and it begins to feel like midnight at 6 pm, slower living feels just right. We’ll peek inside charming homes in New York…an eclectic mix yet all of them reflect a tranquil and hushed mood. New York City or countryside? I am partial to the Hudson River Valley, but a French-inspired teeny Brooklyn apartment zhushed by Brigette Muller? Yes, please. Onward, but slowly and serene-like with tranquil interior inspiration in New York.
Tranquil Interior Inspiration from New York
Modern Minimal Luxe
Athena Calderone’s interiors are instantly recognizable.
I am partial to her ultra-serene zen dens like this bath:
Modern Farmhouse in New York
What if your airy serene farmhouse interior also featured an airy serene Christmas tree?
Well then, your room would sing! Need to see more of Shawn Henderson’s New York country house?
Atrium Kitchen Dreams
You may recognize this kitchen as the one in the New York home Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent designed and then parted with a few years back.
But did you know they missed that home so much after moving to Southern California that they bought it back when the owners were ready to move on? Who can blame them? You don’t just go recreating a bespoke kitchen like theirs!
Did you know Jeremiah has written a book that will launch in February? I can hardly wait!
Not Your Everyday Hamptons Style
When I think of Hamptons style, I instantly think Coastal Grandpa, Coastal Grandma, etc:
But there’s truly much more to discover beyond what you might think of for Hamptons style.
I’m a huge fan of Michael Del Piero’s work whether it is near Chicago or the Hamptons:
This Hamptons guest bathroom (in Jennifer Ash Rudick’s SUMMER TO SUMMER) features crystal sconces (Palwa, ca. 1965), design elements by Piero Fornasetti, and walls finished in painted Masonite.
New York Home With Swedish Country House Aesthetic
I’ll never forget this antique dealer’s home featured in Remodelista years ago!
Remember this beauty from the owner of The Red Chair?
How about you? Do you like your Swedish country house pale and lovely like the one above or more vibrant:

I must admit I have the fever too…
and I’ve got my eye on this set:
Favorite French Kitchens in NY
While she may have moved on from it, many of us have not! Tina’s Enchanted Home kitchen has all the ingredients of a serene dream of a timeless French kitchen to love!
One of Hello Lovely’s followers was so enchanted, he used it as a springboard for his newly built kitchen HERE. Another New York kitchen to charm you? I’ll never tire of tuning into anything Annie Diamond (Most Lovely Things) is creating, baking, decorating, or consuming:
Annie’s energy and appetite for seasonal wonder is absolutely inspiring and amazing, and what a gift that she shares all that goodness with us. Oh, and Jocie Sinauer’s kitchen with its Swedish Frenchy white textural coziness in Hudson is BEYOND:
New York Interior Inspiration from Simon Upton
Simon Upton’s amazing book NEW YORK INTERIORS is a wonderland of high end, bespoke, unexpected beauty.
Isn’t this city kitchen a triumph?
Let’s peek at a few more surprises in the book:
Do you suppose Steinbeck was right?
Or is this a more accurate description of the Big Apple?

Michele- the quote about the determination of a woman rearranging furniture surely speaks to me! To cope with the election results, Over the past week, I alone revamped 2 bedrooms: furniture, linens, art, etc., in lieu of sobbing. Re-using elements from all over the house in new ways. Now surrounded by blissful dusty blues and silvery sage greens settled amongst the creamy white splendor! Design therapy is real. Beauty heals the soul. Ever so grateful for the serene loveliness you provide every day! Thank you, thank you, thank you…

I hear you – where there’s a will, there’s a way when it comes to moving furniture alone! So glad you are moving – physically moving – through the feelings and uncertainty. Thanks so much for your lovely words for me. They’re a balm.
