Cream Stripe Wallpaper Biography
This story originally featured in The Book of Interiors Volume 2 (2005)
The three-storey redbrick state-of-the art "Tudor Victorian" style townhouse is situated in the former paddock of a long demolished Georgian manor house in Blackrock, Co. Dublin. It was designed by McGrane & Partners. Paschal O'Reilly of Renaissance Interiors was subsequently recruited to lend his inimitable flair to the interior.
The house is accessed through a front door, bordered by Japanese ligustrum sentries. The oakwood door opens directly onto a sleek white marble floor. A silver frame Elba mirror and rare Harrison & Gill scroll chair, both sourced by Renaissance Interiors, lend an immediate sense of French sophistication to the hall. To the right, an oak staircase wends its way up to the first and second floor bedrooms. The dining room lies directly ahead and to the left is the drawing room, a voluminous comfort zone set around an English Tudor sandstone fireplace installed by Ballymount Fireplaces. A contemporary montage mirror hangs opposite a hypnotic triptych of St. Kevin's Sanctuary by Enniskillen photographer Pip Sides. A large three-seater sofa, designed by Renaissance, is covered in Bourdelle java from the Musee du Tissu collection; a two-seater and wing chair are covered in Rayure Parchment from the same collection. "Louvre Java" drawing room curtains frame the bay windows, the exterior of which is accentuated by jutting granite sills.
The French-pleated drawing room curtains are echoed on the French windows in the dining room next-door. Likewise the solid dark walnut coffee table by Theodore Alexander in the drawing room is effectively a smaller version of the dining table. The dining chairs are covered in fabric from the Musee du Tissu while a series of decoupage glass and bronze table lamps by Theodore Alexander are discreetly arranged around the room.
The French windows open onto a salient garden that has lately sprung up to the rear of the property. Under the direction of Fintan Gilman, Naas landscapers "Down to Earth" (087-6167918) have perfectly illustrated how a relatively small space can be converted into a mini-utopia. A full moon shaped grass lawn floats upon a sea of pebbles, interspersed with the flotsam of Chinese granite rock, quartzite paving and Indian sandstone. Banksia roses, red robins, agapanthus and golden bamboos encircle the entirety. A wall the rugged red of an Arizona sunset runs down one side of the garden, its theatrical effect accentuated by three concave mirrors inserted within. It might stretch the imagination but when the sun shines in a garden like this, you could be forgiven for expecting a tropical micro-climate to take permanent root.
