Designer Celerie Kemble (the daughter of Mimi Maddock McMakin) lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side on the 27th floor. Pictured is her private outdoor garden, which boasts a great view of Central Park. In terms of entertaining, her advice is simple: "Wine, cheese, and a good laugh is all anyone really wants anyway."
Here's the family room of architect Peter Pennoyer and his wife, interior designer Katie Ridder, who live in a 1920s home in Westchester County, New York. An antique embroidered Indian fabric frames its entrance, and the room is filled with leather Moroccan poufs, Knoll tables and Jens Risom lounge chairs. The fireplace surround is mirrored and Moroccan lattice paneled.
A pink sofa in the madcap Notting Hill townhouse of Suzanne and Christopher Sharp, founders of the Rug Company. "Predictability and fakery have no place in our home," they say. The couple certainly likes to think pink: The entrance hallway of their home is a dark fuchsia.
Here is Suzanne and Christopher Sharp's living room. They love to fill their home with fresh flowers at home, and they especially like pink Gertrude Jekyll and cream Madame Alfred Carriere scented roses. They also love the fragrance of a wood fire, and when it's too warm for one, they like Diptyque Feu du Bois candles.
Designer Mimi Maddock McMakin is a fourth-generation Palm Beach resident (and the mother of Celerie Kemble). She declares, "I can't live without flowers or greenery," and she brings those two indoors with the green walls and pillows with botanical patterns. She's also fond of down-filled sofas.
