When Richard Ferrari was
searching for a house in Sag
Harbor, New York, he looked no
further than across the street,
where his friend
Bob Tortora
was
restoring an early 1800s home.
Richard, working with
architectural renovator
Bob Tortora, preserved as many
original elements as possible,
including the pumpkin pine
floors. He put a small addition
on the house, composed of the
bar and family room seen through
the doorways (he also enlarged
the master bedroom above).
Richard requested bookshelves to
line the dining room, giving the
room a dual purpose, to house
his library of Second World War
history books. The room is
painted Tabasco 18-1536 TPX by
Pantone; pantone.com.
