Art Opening
Interior designer Eva Quateman created two seating areas in the living room with matching striped upholstered chairs in shades of taupe, charcoal, and brown. “I wanted the furniture to be beautiful, but I didn’t want it to be the show. I wanted it to kind of disappear so it wouldn’t fight with the art,” she says. Two abstract paintings hang above a living room sofa. “Those are the only pieces of art we bought with a specific purpose in mind,” Anita says.
