Floor plan labels are thrown out the window as a designer helps a family shape rooms to fit the way they live
The pool table is an antique family piece that she had re-felted in a classic blue. Also, when Chiappone saw the family’s collection of ship models, she knew right away that the crystal ship chandelier was just the one for this space.
Grounding the room is a geometric David Hicks rug, which adds a modern touch. The nautical charts are of Block Island and Deer Island, two places the family enjoys visiting during the summer. The two chairs are family antiques that Chiappone re-covered in a more modern print that picks up on the blue felt.

She also saved money and the owners’ sanity by painting the wall below the chair rail rather than papering it. “It’s also much more durable this way,” she says. “If one of the boys scratched the paint, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but if they scratched the wallpaper, it would be!”
