| Jeffrey Bilhuber Interior Design |
I saw this image featured again - on Heather Clawson's "habitually chic" -it's the Locust Valley Long Island country house of Decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber- Which is currently on the market - Notice the bright apple green wall color very similar to what Mario Buatta used in Patricia's (Altschul) Charleston house- What this color does is to give antiques and more traditional furnishings a bright updated finish- a true Designers color choice, it is not often seen. When I lived in New York I was told by good sources that Count Hubert de Givenchy launched Jeffrey Bilhuber into New York and international Society. Apparently they met while Jeffrey was working at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan-
This fabulous color that Jeffrey used in his 17th century country house prevents the room from feeling old and tired -it gives it a fresh updated look and very much a designer look- And I'm sure that's why Mario chose it for Patricias house in Charleston especially since he brought existing furnishings from her previous Long Island home also on the North Shore- And in the below image, Patricia was kind enough to share this picture of her Charleston Garden on Twitter! Beautiful! DF
