Some rolling country. A quiet place to stretch out from the City. Forget the Monday-to-Friday grind. A modern home — mostly white — and a collection of classic furnishings, yes, but go a little deeper. This is no shrinking violet; it’s a wild, bright bouquet curated for a young family craving imagination and play in their weekend getaway.  Chartreuse, burgundy, coral, magenta, saffron, and a flash of neon are the colors in this dream. Surreal fabrics make you look twice, joyful geometric patterns are larger than life and metallic shards on hand-painted wallpaper fall like confetti. In the family room, a seating nook doubles as a stage for impromptu performances or a place to snooze. Balancing the cool modernity is a highly personal art collection with work from Erin O’Keefe, Dave Muller, Kelly Ording and Danielle Dimson. Are we there yet?
