“We wanted a calm and welcoming room for the families to come ‘home’ to,” says firm principal Anne Tarasoff, “and we felt
that a palette of soft blues would achieve that goal, including the plaid walls, which were hand-painted in a three-stage process and bring a bright pearlescence to the space. Good design is not just visually pleasing; the lifelong benefit of good design is feeling content and complete in your environment.”
“To create a serene, peaceful, and elegant room, the incredibly talented Kenneth Widener painted a faux bois pattern on the walls in calming shades of lavender, aqua, and apricot,” says firm co-principal Tatyana Miron (below, at right). “To brighten the space, we hung mirrors on the wall opposite the window,” adds her partner, Alexandra Pappas, “and beds with scalloped headboards generously donated by Avery Boardman. Compared with the limitless energy and spirit of the staff at Ronald McDonald House, our job was easy.”
“I took my cue from Shakespeare’s phrase ‘One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,’” says Costa. “Nature has always soothed the human spirit, and our goal was to create a room that fills the heart with peace and quiet the minute you enter, with wood and organic textures throughout and even a tree swing. The paint colors, Benjamin Moore’s Turmeric and Mascarpone, remind me of the color of autumn leaves.”
