Transforming a Restored, 173-Year-Old Home | Farrow & Ball

Author and Brooklyn native LaTonya Yvette understands the importance of home. Inspired to create a space that builds community, LaTonya created The Mae House. As well as designing the space for her own family, the mother of two wanted to give back to others: The Mae House will offer free stays to members of the BIPOC community, particularly families from nearby New York who don’t often have the opportunity for holidays. In exchange for their stay, they’re simply asked to rest.
As firm believers in the power of colour, we were up for the challenge of creating a palette to match the ambitious mission of this lovingly restored, 173-year-old holiday home. Naturally, we sent in an expert - a Farrow & Ball Colour Consultant. Take a tour and enjoy this wonderful space.

I love these videos where Farrow&Ball shows a whole world with depth that their colors help encompass

I think it would be super helpful to have someone explain the base colour and how it might perform under different light conditions, size of room and amount of coverage.

What a beautiful spirit and wholesome idea to help others via the Mae House Interesting colour schemes, i am currently playing with ideas for my long lounge/diner Too many blues for me but, its great seeing the contrasts. I’ll probably be in the greens and browns

If you feel you have to have music please don’t make it louder than the person speaking.

Yes, am desperately trying to hear what she says. Half the time, impossible.
