In With the New

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On March 12th, I wrote a <a href="http://aflippenlife.blogspot.com/2015/03/katies-house-and-hotel.html" target="_blank">post</a> about <a href="http://quirkgallery.com/" target="_blank">Quirk</a> director Katie Ukrop's house, which was featured in the August 2008 edition of <i>Domino</i>. This evening I found some photos online that seem to indicate that Richmond, Virginia, interior designer <a href="http://suellengregory.com/" target="_blank">Suellen Gregory</a> has updated the Ukrop home. The interiors still have a lot of pink touches, but the walls have been painted gray. What do you think?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-7I2ZoJ-_pzw9OHNElIxJhgBtASEEjCi-momd7b7AB_ay_oFkds6OOK8iCX6eg9N3PpiGzuqk-RPvdITZ60miPnh6LMjBqjhWktnn3rpv1W_o3a5LYyHvRnySFtdDWLTNm09NenrNb4/s1600/63a2241d3aaf8f3746934943bb077092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Every inch had to be sanded, coated several times with acrylic paint and then glazed, but the resulting infusion of delicate tints took the house into the 21st century.

An old armoire, which she coated in white, hides the television and stores her 'ridiculously large' cache of sweaters. Further recipients of the all-white treatment: the mantelpiece, the iron bed frame and the wall sconces that serve as bedside lamps. She pumped up the femme factor - luckily, her husband doesn't mind - with pleasingly mismatched linens, most of which are garden-themed, the bench was re-covered in a vintage curtain from a local shop. The inside of the nonworking fireplace is enlivened by an arrangement of seashells and an artwork from a local auction hangs above.
