Good things take time. In our upcoming spring issue of aspire design and home magazine, we’re celebrating the role time plays in our creative endeavors. From projects embracing the nostalgia of times past, to the overall time-consuming labor of love that it is to design a home.

“The goal of the media room was to create a comfortable space that was whimsical, full of personality and connected to the outdoors,” Mendelson explains. “The Cole & Son wallpaper was our starting point, and the rest of the pieces fell into place. Casual materials like wicker, bamboo and linen lend to the vibe.”

The west drawing room of Aderton, designer Kelee Katillac’s home in Arrow Rock, MO, pulls together many themes of her new book. It features a restored Zuber mural identical to the one Jackie Kennedy saved and installed in the White House, a mahogany American Classical box sofa upholstered in Kravet’s Picnic Green Bleecker like the curtains, Native American pottery by Maria Martinez and Martha Appleleaf (one of Martinez’s relatives), a rush-seated chair by Dante Gabriel Rossetti made for Morris & Co. and a table base used as an eccentric side table. Ochre’s contemporary Gaia Counterweight lamp arches over the sofa.

A warm and eclectic media room features Farrow & Ball India Yellow walls, tying together existing furniture with vibrant accents. Button’s choice of Romo fabric for window shades complements the room’s character.

“I love feminine accents but wanted to do something to spice the wallpaper up,” Grauer shares. To do so, she added bold touches, such as a bed frame swathed in Imogen Heath fabric sourced from Studio Four NYC and a bold lip print found on Chairish.
