A new small butler's kitchen behind the bar makes a convenient space for organizing snacks and drinks for parties. "I love my new bar area," Golman says. "It was my dream to tear down the walls and create a bar area where everyone could stand during parties."
Built-in bookshelves create an ideal backdrop for the couple's collection of art and antiques.

Golman splurged on these custom sliding doors; she loves how they make the space feel even more open.

Golman loves clean lines and simple backgrounds. "I enjoy tailored looks," she says. "In many ways I design like I dress. I utilize monochromatic color schemes, adding in pops of color to add uniqueness to a space."

Golman brought the white quartz from the bar into the kitchen countertops. Combined with maple cabinets and a blue glass mosaic backsplash, it makes the space feel fresh.

Landscape architect Peter Godat helped Golman build her vision for a modern backyard area. An acid-washed concrete deck flows with the blue slate pool surround.

The home's original layout was divided into small spaces. Golman and the architects opened up these spaces to make the home feel larger and more entertainment friendly. This formal living room, set right behind the dining room, takes advantage of one of these smaller spaces.

The formal dining room feels elegant and grand, with an antique table, a Baccarat chandelier and ivory toile textiles. An antique Japanese medicine cabinet anchors a back corner.

Frosted glass and aluminum doors in the entry set the tone for the interior's contemporary style. A Venetian mirror and antique rococo console create an eclectic mix.

A petite modern bench from Christian Liaigre and an art piece that Golman bought in New York contrast with the more ornate elegance of the rococo style on the other side of the entry.
"I enjoy combining different elements. In this space I combined my father's ornate antiques with modern art and furniture to create something unique and relatable," says Golman.

White walls and light floors create a gallery-like atmosphere for Golman's father's antiques and her own art collection. This vignette sits between the living room and the entry.
