Landscape ideals in Litchfield county
Our neighbor in Litchfield county, Daniel Romualdez, has a garden that is my dream inspiration for rural Connecticut landscaping. I love how colorful this apartment was—the walls were painted a rich pink, and the fireplace was tiled in a vibrant green. A vivid yellow bench sat next to an emerald green goatskin table. A stroke of genius from Stephen was displaying the Meissen collection in the den, on a wall papered in a bold damask print. Somehow the pair of Brazilian midcentury chairs work with the Meissen, an impossible conversation between centuries and continents.We have worked with Stephen Sills for four projects and consider him a close friend; this one was one of our early introductions to his work. One of Stephen’s great skills, shown so masterfully in this apartment, is his command of a neoclassical aesthetic in a way that is totally modern and fresh. He mixes art, furniture, and objects from disparate genres in a way that is completely harmonious. His eclecticism is serene, never brash.

Landscape ideals in Litchfield county
Our neighbor in Litchfield county, Daniel Romualdez, has a garden that is my dream inspiration for rural Connecticut landscaping. I’m a big fan of Daniel’s work (Tory Burch’s Hamptons home is a standout), and this landscape, done with the incredible Miranda Brooks, seamlessly blends the wild with the manicured. It’s a fine line to walk in upstate Connecticut—avoiding things looking too “done.” By focusing on layers of greenery rather than formal floral gardens, Daniel and Miranda set the bar very high.
