True to Form
A long, narrow, antique table is centered in front of an original bay casement window in the dining room.
Kay favors clutter-free and simple designs with an emphasis on texture and form. She’s frugal with color, as well, and generally limits it to paintings and upholstered pieces. “I like color, but I like it in objects that can be changed out rather than on walls. I like textures to speak for themselves,” Kay says.
