Georgetown Gem

The latest issue of Capitol File magazine dropped this week.

I'm thrilled to say that a Georgetown pied-a-terre designed

by Huntley & Co. is featured in its pages. Not only because

it's a big, glossy spread (yes, hello!), but also because it's one

of my favorite projects in recent years. The residence was a

disaster with amazing potential - an 80s interior (think

white laminate and pleated valances - bleh!) in the heart of Georgetown

with views of the canal. Luckily, this hidden gem was purchased by my

client, an Irish businessman with great taste and the desire to take risks.

Millwork modeled after English cabinetry, a state-of-the-art German

kitchen, bathrooms of marble and onyx, a custom wood parquet floor

and every luxurious textile known to man: velvet, shagreen, ostrich,

cashmere and silk. The end result was a rich and inviting space perfect

for dramatic entertaining or quiet nights at home. The consummate

American landing pad for a European world traveler.

The kitchen at top is a favorite of most visitors.

Hoping you all find a bit of inspiration for your own homes!
