Design Crush: Griffith Blythe Interiors

Written by Natalie Aldridge.

In a tale of sisterly love, the dynamic duo of Griffith Roberts Roth and Blythe Roberts McNerney, are shaking up the design scene, one punchy print at a time. Following stints alongside renowned designers in Manhattan and the nation’s capital, their creative kinship gave rise to Griffith Blythe Interiors—a testament to their shared vision, boundless flair, and sisterhood.

Nestled in the heart of Washington, DC, the pair has effortlessly combined their talents to establish Griffith Blythe Interiors, a design haven where modern chic meet with timeless sophistication. Here, contemporary allure effortlessly intertwines with classic charm, crafting spaces that are luxurious, vibrant, and unfailingly comfortable. While rooted in tradition, it is their clever use of bold hues and grin-inducing prints that inject a delightful dose of fun and youthful exuberance into their interiors.

In an exciting expansion of their firm, the sibling duo Blythe and Griffith noticed a need for linens that were not only refined but also playful and long-lasting. Enter Gatopard, bursting onto the scene in 2020 with a delightful array of designs featuring tablecloths, napkins, placemats, cocktail napkins, and even pajamas! They have also handpicked a fabulous selection of tabletop accessories from every corner of the globe to complete the ensemble.

Let’s take a peek into the world of Griffith Blythe Interiors and Gatopard!

Home at Last with Gil Schafer

The work of Gil Schafer, one of the world’s leading architects, is beloved for its elegance, charm, and strong sense of history and place. For the last three decades, Schafer has designed houses that not only meet the demands of the current moment, but are also designed to endure. His work embodies the very best in classical design and architectural longevity while remaining adaptive to the ebb and flow of life as it evolves across days, years, and even generations

Home at Last: Enduring Design for the New American House is the third book from Schafer, following his bestsellers The Great American House and A Place to Call Home, which together form a three-part series on the design of the American home.

Home at Last: Enduring Design for the New American House

Released this month by Rizzoli, Home at Last includes homes Schafer has designed in the mist-covered Hudson Valley, on a bluff above Lake Champlain, on the windswept shores of Block Island, and on the coast of Maine. He shares the stories of these houses and their owners, exploring the choices made for architecture and interiors, and reemphasizing his guiding principles: how to create classical buildings that “live modern”; how to adapt buildings to different regions and ways of life; the connection to landscape; why fancy can coexist with simple, and traditional with modern.

With original photography by Eric Piasecki, layered with practical takeaways, Home at Last is a tribute to the power of the American house. Let’s take a peek inside!

“Perhaps the most indispensable quality of an enduring home is that it is adaptive to the evolution of life. Sometimes you’re formal, other times relaxed. Sometimes the place over- brims with family, then becomes an empty nest.  Sometimes you want to cozy up in a corner, then throw open the doors and windows and invite the landscape in. A home that lasts ‘forever’ makes room for all of these opposing impulses, sometimes simultaneously.” – Gil Schafer

This is a gorgeous book that any lover of classic, timeless design will appreciate. You can order a copy of Home at Last via Amazon. The Glam Pad also highly recommends The Great American House and A Place to Call Home.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at AERIN for Pottery Barn, an Old Westbury Estate for sale, and the soon-to-open Oakstreet Shoppe. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

AERIN for Pottery Barn

From wallpaper to bedding, toys, and furnishings, this collaboration showcases delicate wicker accents, charming scalloped edges, and endearing floral and fauna motifs. Playful essentials that effortlessly blend sophistication with childlike whimsy, appealing to the refined tastes of discerning parents everywhere. Each piece is more darling than the next!

A Storied Old Westbury Estate

Nestled within the historic Old Westbury, New York, the esteemed Erchless estate has recently been listed for sale, marking a rare opportunity to own a piece of American heritage. Commissioned for Howard Phipps, the youngest scion of the illustrious Phipps family, this distinguished residence was meticulously crafted by the renowned architectural firm Adams & Prentice in 1935. Situated adjacent to the iconic Old Westbury Gardens, the residence of Howard’s elder brother Jay, Erchless emanates an aura of timeless elegance and historical significance deeply intertwined with the fabric of New York society and American history.

Notably, Erchless stands as one of the few remaining Gold Coast estates still under the ownership of its original family, with successive generations maintaining its legacy through the years. Situated on 92 acres of award-winning gardens, the main house was crafted in the stately Colonial Revival style, boasting fifteen bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and a distinctive U-shaped design that encloses a sprawling central courtyard. Impeccably maintained, the interior exhibits unparalleled craftsmanship, adorned with numerous fireplaces, intricate moldings, and meticulously crafted woodwork. Among its distinctive features are two sunrooms with arched windows, ingeniously designed to descend into the basement on elevator motors, transforming the spaces into charming summertime porches.

Today, it remains a cherished property imbued with memories, awaiting its next custodian to continue its storied legacy into the future. If these walls could talk…

Oakstreet Shoppe

A charming home boutique and design studio will open this May in the burgeoning town of Abilene, Texas. Oakstreet Shoppe was founded by the dynamic design duo and TGP favorites, Rebecca and Lucas Gibbs of Gibbs Design + Build. This husband-wife team has forged an impeccable reputation for themselves in the world of high-end interiors and construction, recognized for their unparalleled craftsmanship and classic style.

Born from their full-service firm, Oakstreet Shoppe will be a treasure trove of timeless gems including curated homeware, furniture collections, and exciting finds that we can’t help but swoon over! The couple transformed a once dreary corner with a dilapidated metal building into new structure with an old soul. Before and afters below!

This haven of high design holds special significance for us, being the hometown of our founder Andrea. We cannot wait to see what is in store (quite literally) for Oakstreet Shoppe…. Stay tuned for more!

Pretty in Pink Guest Suite by Rivers Spencer

Pink is a “trending” color this year, but it also happens to be a timeless favorite here at The Glam Pad. So when we saw Rivers Spencer‘s guest suite at the 2023 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, we fell head over heels for its sophisticated, feminine elegance. Spencer named her space “Les Fleurs du Marécage” (the Flowers of the Bayou) in homage to New Orleans and the geographic areas surrounding it—which is where Rivers Spencer’s design firm is located.

The main design element in the bedroom is the Philip Jeffries bespoke mural wallpaper depicting a panoramic scene of the bayou punctuated by florals. The trim and ceiling paint color, Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace OC-65 in a high gloss finish keep the space light and bright and maintain a crisp palette against the depth of color and visual interest of the mural. The space is very long and linear architecturally—using a single, unmodulated floor covering from Stark Rugs has the effect of making the room feel cozier as well as more cohesive as one moves from one area of the space to the next.

The bed is a classic, simple yet elegant design from Highland House furniture and is upholstered in a soft ivory Dedar velvet. The half canopy over the bed is finished with a Fabricut dupioni silk on the exterior, which matches the fabric of the window treatments from The Shade Store, and trimmed in Samuel and Sons cut velvet trim in ivory, while the interior of the canopy is draped in a contrasting Colefax and Fowler blush silk. In another nod to New Orleans, Rivers collaborated with Leontine Linens to create custom bed linens, which are trimmed in a border of magnolias and bayou white flowers and an intricate ‘RS’monogram.

The bedroom area of the suite is meant to be laid out like a luxury hotel suite mixed with the hospitality of a Southerner’s home, replete with all of the amenities a guest could require. The vignettes within the room showcase an ebonized antique desk and chair in one corner, adjacent to an antique Venetian mirror for dressing atop a sleek modern upholstered bench. At the opposite end of the room in front of the fireplace a pair of antique fauteuils upholstered in white cowhide sit tete a tete opposite a modern marble cube, while in the windows flanking the mantle a pair of antique columns topped with Rod Morehead sculptures complete the vignette with a nod of both symmetry and whimsy.

Finally, a custom lacquered bar sits across from the guests’ bed and to the left of the door to the bathroom. The decorated with decanters of liquor and a champagne bucket and complemented with a buffet of glass jars filled with candy.

The bathroom showcases the Kohler imperator freestanding tub in front of a marble tiled shower and marble baseboards and wainscoting throughout the room provided by Triton Stone Group. The floating double vanity fabricated out of Calacatta marble, also from Triton Stone Group, is accented with wall-mounted Kohler brass faucets that serve as the pièce de résistance.

The overhead lighting is a custom scaled fixture by renowned New Orleans lighting designer Julie Neill, while a single antique chair upholstered in a blush and gold Fortuny stripe with whimsical seat of rye grass sits next to the freestanding tub. New Orleans artist and the designer’s dear friend, Kevin Gillentine created a large-scale abstract for the space.

On The Market: 17th Century Newton House

Written by Natalie Aldridge

Happy Friday! To kick off the weekend on a high note, we’re treating you to a sneak peek inside a truly covetable countryside estate. Newton House, nestled in the charming village of Irnham in Lincolnshire, UK, has hit the market for the first time in nearly 400 years.

Dating back to the 17th century, Newton House embarked on its journey as a detached dower house. In 1699, it found itself under the lease of the Irnham Estate by none other than John Newton, a relative of the esteemed Sir Isaac Newton. Steeped in history, this distinguished residence has stood witness to centuries of change and evolution. With its Grade II-listed status, Newton House has undergone various additions and renovations, notably during the Georgian era. However, amidst these transformations, the home has managed to preserve its characteristic charm and grandeur.
While large in scale, the home exudes refinement and simplicity, with grand elements strategically placed throughout. In the true fashion of a country house, these details imbue the home with a cozy, family-oriented, and relaxed atmosphere. From the charming rusticity of the Plain English kitchen to the opulent comfort of the Fired Earth bathrooms, every nook exudes a delightful blend of warmth and character.
Having undergone recent meticulous restoration, Newton House now stands as a stunning testament to exquisite craftsmanship harmoniously intertwined with contemporary conveniences. A sense history truly lingers in the air of this home. Let’s have a look inside!

Style Profile: Bailey Ward Interiors

Bailey Ward is an Atlanta-based interior designer who brings a fresh, clean aesthetic and contemporary flair to every space she touches. We are delighted to welcome Bailey to The Glam Pad today for a Style Profile Q&A!

At the core of her work is the belief that people deserve to live in homes they’re proud of – ones where they can retreat and enjoy making memories. She believes people shouldn’t have to sacrifice beauty for function, and she makes that delicate intertwining a reality for each of her clients. Bailey’s work can be described as collected, curated, well-styled and chic, and she’s not afraid to incorporate a splash of color among natural fibers and textures. With her, every aspect of a room is intentionally designed to reflect the perfect blend of her perspective and expertise with the client’s unique style.

With nearly a decade of commercial design experience, Bailey has acquired the art of attention to detail, refined craftsmanship and project management skills. She brings a unique understanding of the design process to the table and values the importance of functionality for her clients’ spaces. Bailey holds a degree in interior design from Mississippi State University, CIDA-accredited.

Bailey lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, William, baby girl Maddox, and Golden Retriever, Tako. When she’s not knee-deep in design work for clients, you can probably find her taking Tako for a walk in their cozy neighborhood, whipping up a hearty salad in the kitchen, or preparing her home to entertain friends and family.

Welcome, Bailey!

Q: Tell us a bit about your career path. Did you take a traditional path to becoming an interior designer? 

A:  I have always been a creative and was interested in interiors from a young age. I was constantly asking to redecorate my bedroom and requesting graph paper to sketch out floor plans and house design software when I was probably just learning to type! Most of my core memories contain details of friend’s and family’s homes and experiences had in those homes. I am grateful to have gotten a degree in Interior Design and learned so much of the knowledge and skills that I still use daily. When I got out of school, I didn’t even consider that residential design could be an option and went the “safe” route working at a commercial firm and later in furniture sales. After much encouragement from my husband, I took the leap in 2019 and haven’t looked back!  

Q: What are some style/design elements that you think are distinct or signature to your decorating style? 

A:  I love mixing old and new. Layering traditional interiors with a touch of something fresh and unexpected – such as a fun abstract piece of art or contemporary textile. I also love color and am not afraid to use it! My interiors while traditional always have a relaxed and livable feel to them.

Q: What designers inspire you?

A:  Looking back at some of the greats such as Albert Hadley, Billy Baldwin. I also find myself poring over my books by Ashley Whitaker, Markham Roberts, Thom Scheerer, and Gil Schaffer time and time again.

Q: Do you have any favorite go-to paints, wallpapers, linens, artists, etc.? 

A:  I like to keep things fresh project to project but love Farrow and Ball colors – Hague Blue and Card Room Green are favorites. I love a beautiful floral fabric and a grasscloth wallpaper really adds dimension to a space. Claremont fabrics are a favorite as of late! 

Q: Where do you enjoy sourcing antiques and art? 

A:  We love shopping local antique stores and we are lucky to have Scott’s Antique Market in Atlanta monthly where we do a lot of sourcing for clients. Chairish has also made it easy to shop online for antiques!

Q: What has been the most challenging (and the most rewarding) part of developing your business? 

A:  Starting my business when I did was a blessing but also incredibly challenging. I was just getting up and running in March 2020 when Covid hit. By April, our industry was incredibly busy and I was managing an overwhelming workload and navigating all of the challenges that Covid brought to our industry. I also became a mom of 2 over the past 3 years and figuring out how to juggle it all is tough. 

The most rewarding part of this job is forming relationships with my clients and getting to see how my clients live in their space. I have watched clients become parents, grandparents, and experience loss and joy in their home. I feel honored to get to be a small part of their lives. 

Q: What is one fail-safe design element that every room should have? 

A:  Good lighting! If I were to build a custom home for our family, the only place I would have can lighting is the kitchen and bathrooms. Lamp lighting (with an incandescent bulb) really sets the right mood. And it has been said before but every room should have a place to set your drink!

Q: What are your tips for setting a lovely table? 

A:  Layers and texture! Pretty table linens, fresh florals, and something personal or unexpected. I love using my grandmother’s dinner plates or candlesticks, paired with a more contemporary tablecloth or unique drinking glasses.

Q: Do you have any favorite “movie houses” and how have they inspired you? 

A:  Anything Nancy Meyers but specially “Something’s Gotta Give”. The details in the kitchen and living room make me so happy. I also loved watching the TV show “Anatomy of a Scandal” solely for the interiors. 

Q: Let’s talk about beauty products… What is your favorite splurge and your favorite save?

A:  La Mer Cream – so rich and luxurious, makes your skin so soft! My favorite save has been anything from Merit Beauty. Their Flush Balm in Cheeky is my go-to for lips and cheeks. 

Thank you, Bailey, for joining us today! We are huge fans of your gorgeous style and portfolio!

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at interior designer Amanda Lindroth’s new chapter, Marian McEvoy’s collection for Schumacher, and artist Juliann Lancon. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

In 2017, Amanda introduced a collection of tropical living accessories and furniture pieces, essential items that filled a noticeable gap in the market. It all began with a humble blue notebook filled with sketches and ideas, leading Amanda on a journey across Asia in search of the finest treasures to bring back home. Swift success soon followed, with a dedicated following of customers and friends warmly embracing her designs and brand.

As ardent admirers of her eponymous collection, we were saddened to learn that after nearly a decade in business, Amanda will be closing her charming collection. All is it not lost though, Amanda will be contributing her creative talents and expertise to a larger brand. Her interior design business will also remain intact. We cannot wait to learn more about her exciting new venture!

Bagatelle: A Look Inside Timothy Corrigan’s Latest Collection with Samuel & Sons

Written by Natalie Aldridge

Two years ago, internationally acclaimed interior designer Timothy Corrigan visited the recently restored and opened Hotel de la Marine museum in Paris. Designed and built between 1757 and 1774 by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, Timothy was captivated by the refined sophistication of the Neoclassical building and the extravagant fabrics and colors chosen within the private apartments. This visit served as a catalyst, prompting him to further explore the textiles and passementerie of this graceful epoch.

“THE BAGATELLE COLLECTION IS DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY THE NEO-CLASSICAL DESIGNS OF FRANCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY, A PERIOD KNOWN FOR ITS REFINED ELEGANCE IN COLORATION AND STYLE. WITH ITS RICH DETAILING, THIS EXQUISITE NEW COLLECTION BRINGS THE PERFECT FINISHING TOUCH TO ANY INTERIOR.  – TIMOTHY CORRIGAN

From meticulous research, the Bagatelle collection with Samuel & Sons emerged, a testament to Timothy’s profound admiration for the Neoclassical period and its historical motifs. The French Neoclassical epoch is credited to a resurgence of interest in classical Greek and Roman architecture and design between the mid-18th and early 19th centuries. In a parallel narrative, akin to the sophistication of that era, the Bagatelle collection employs a comparable approach, incorporating design motifs from the Neoclassical period.

Nevertheless, it transcends tradition by presenting these motifs in innovative ways, introducing fresh perspectives in terms of construction and the fusion of styles within each piece, whether it be a tape or tassel. Resembling a delectable array of confections, Marie Antoinette would undoubtedly love every trim and tape in the collection.

“SAMUEL & SON’S HAS ALWAYS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. DEVELOPING THIS COLLECTION WITH THEM WAS SO MUCH FUN BECAUSE WE WANTED TO REALLY PUSH THE BORDERS IN TERMS OF DETAIL AND LUXURY. I AM SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE COLLECTION THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER.” – TIMOTHY CORRIGAN

With the nickname of TRIMothy, it is no wonder the collection is so extraordinary. Whether it’s the intricately hand-crossed tassels of the Bagatelle Tassel Skirt Fringe, the precision-crafted Bagatelle Braid, or the posh texture of the Bagatelle Marabout woven from silk and wool, each pattern tells its own tale. The Bagatelle Scalloped Tassel Fringe takes the limelight, flaunting meticulously hand-tied tassels that add a touch of timeless elegance. It is as if each one has attended charm school. Timothy Corrigan is truly the conductor of chic.

To learn more and view the complete collection, visit Samuel & Sons here. You can also see more of Timothy Corrigan’s work and tour his exquisite French Château here! The Glam Pad also recommends his book, The New Elegance: Stylish, Comfortable Rooms for Today.
