“I used grasscloth on the walls in this house because they are plaster and have a lot of imperfections,” Leavitt says. “Because this kind of wallcovering is thicker, it hides a lot more sins, and it was easier, less messy and less expensive than sanding down the walls to make them smooth.”
The table is an antique that Leavitt refinished with a weathered gray look. He chose the striped rug because it reminded him of a beach towel. A wingback chair upholstered in a simple plaid makes a comfy reading spot. “Chartreuse works so well with navy,” Leavitt says of the pillow. Pops of this hue tie the first-floor rooms together. “The white rattan lamp is an example of how we kept a casual global feel.”
Lamp: Ralph Lauren; chair fabric: Robert Allen; rug: Plaid Fox
