“I’ve always loved Marella Agnelli’s pink-and-white bedroom in Morocco. I tend to think of a bedroom as more of a woman’s domain, where you’re allowed to take a softer, more feminine approach. But surprisingly, men love it, too.”

“Different levels of light are important in making a romantic bedroom, and reading lights inside the bed help those like me with failing eyesight.” The custom lampshades throughout the room are a signature of Cathy’s work. “I’ll often line them with a pale pink. It makes women prettier, men more handsome, and the room glow.”

Cathy created an intimate seating area in front of the Chesneys mantel, layering pattern and texture with wicker chairs and inlaid furniture. “Antique textiles on pillows, the panel sewn on the ottoman, and the vintage rug give the room some history.”

“When I traveled to India several years ago, I visited the Baby Taj (I’timad-ud-Daulah) in Agra, which took my breath away. I worked with de Gournay to capture some of the details in the wallpaper.” Kathy found the botanical prints at Scott Antique Markets.
