She has been featured in myriad magazines. Recognized as a fabric guru with an eye for color, Jennifer has achieved accolades for her unique sense of style and vision. Jennifer Owen chose our Graz Table Lamp for her bedroom bathed in teal hues. The Graz Table Lamp in Jennifer Owen’s space.

Our Aline Mirror graces a wall in the bedroom designed by Rio Hamilton. Their beautiful and expansive collection of lighting, furniture, and accessories is perfect for hospitality projects like the revamping of the historic Cornell Inn.” “The pink hue on the wall is Bouquet Rose from Benjamin Moore.” About being able to tap our products for his space, Rio notes: “I was thrilled when I learned that Currey & Company was a sponsor for The Kaleidoscope Project Showhouse. “Both are made from metal and have a gorgeous gunmetal-like finish,” he says of the pieces.

Santiago created more drama by integrating lighting into the onyx bar and shelving.” Santi chose a pair of our Formby Wall Sconces, one of which is seen in the image above that was taken during opening night.

She went on to say, “He reinterpreted the opera house’s opulence using Scalamandre red silk wallcovering, Cole & Son Teatro wallcovering, a chandelier from Currey & Co, and art – a wall mural and portrait of Maria callas – by Ricardo Monge. She said of the bar, which is crowned by our Fen chandelier, “Inspired by the Metropolitan Opera house, designer and acclaimed tenor (and IFDANY president) David Santiago, known as Santi, created a swanky mood with red and gold.”

We weren’t able to attend the opening so we lived vicariously through this lively recap by Jane Dagmi, the intrepid editor-in-chief of Designers Today magazine. The Acento Bar, designed by David Santiago for the Kaleidoscope Project. Carpenter was also a member of the committee steering the venture, along with Amy Lynn and Liz Nightingale.Ĭarriage House bedrooms and suites were designed by Iantha Carley (the Bennet Room), Doreen Chambers (the Silver Thistle Guest Room), Rasheeda Gray (the Rasheeda Room), Dennese Guadeloupe Rojas (the Doreen Suite), Rio Hamilton (the Teddy Room), Linda Hayslett (the Maddi-Mia Room), Nikki Njeri Klugh (the Cleopatra Suite), Jennifer Owen, Purvi Padia (the Lioness Room), Chanae Richards, and Shawna Underwood (the Hudson Room). Johanna Howard and Patti Carpenter had bedrooms in the Main House, as well. LaVergne designed the Lady Cicely Room Christy Davis designed the Davis Room Gail Davis created the Ernestine Retreat Rydhima Brar created Rydhima’s Room and Nile Johnson envisioned the Nile Johnson Room. Tackling the spaces in the Main House were Virginia Toledo, who designed the dining room, named the Comparte Room Everick Brown, who transformed the lobby into the Kutana Room and David Santiago, who created the Acento Bar.Īlso in this building are spaces by Austin Gray Design Group, whose team members Denise N. The roster of talent that contributed is impressive. The designers used as their inspiration the holistic triad of rest, reflection, and rejuvenation. There are18 guest rooms and suites, a lobby area, a small dining room, and a bar between the two buildings. The showhouse encompasses two buildings-the Main House and the Carriage House. The Main House of the Cornell Inn, circa 1888, is the original inn-it is one of two buildings The Kaleidoscope Project transformed. Even more appealing is the fact that the transformed spaces will permanently remain for guests to enjoy each time they stay in the inn. Not only was the showhouse staged in a historic bed and breakfast, The Cornell Inn, the 23 designers who transformed the spaces are BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color). When we received the call to sponsor and to contribute products to The Kaleidoscope Project Showhouse, we didn’t hesitate to participate.
