Green Front Furniture President Den Cralle’s journey to transform William Bottomley’s one-of-a-kind Mediterranean Revival mansion into a stunning, contemporary home continues. After opening up the foyer, Den turns his attention to the walls. How should he update and personalize each room while remaining true to Bottomley’s original vision?
This series lets you be a fly on the literal walls of Monument by Green Front. Watch the design revitalization of the Library — based on the room’s ornate and gilded ceiling. Take a trip with Den and Avery Frank of Avery Frank Designs as they head to Gracie, a storied New York City-based company specializing in custom hand painted wallpaper panels, including chinoiserie. Working with the elements of the house and an already-selected handknotted Green Front rug, Den and Avery get to work. They hone in on the colors and feeling that will honor the past, play off reach room’s remarkable details and speak to the unfolding story of Monument in the 21st century via none other than expertly installed, luxury wallpaper — a work of art unto itself. Witness the care taken by H.J. Holtz & Son as they install it.
Monument by Green Front is an adventure in timeless craft, architectural history and modern design. Follow along for an inside look at an intimate journey of creative collaboration in a unique and unparalleled architectural setting.
