Nice, subtle contrast piping on the couch, and the pillow has the same print as the banquette in the corner.

Mysterious, brooding landscape painting!

I usually love the acclaimed CeCe Barfield Thompson's designs. This one, there are things I like, and don't like.  Can you stand a 'micro - review' of the room?  Feel free to dispute any opinion of mine, and/or add yours.

LIKE: 

The calm, relaxed feeling, even in a sophisticated NY pad. 

DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE: 

Just my personal taste, but her brown, while rich, is too "golden" for me.  Esp. the couch.  What would you call it-- cognac?  "Topaz"?   ( At least the names sound sumptuous, ha). Move the shade a few notches "cooler" to cocoa, taupe, chocolate, etc. and would love it.

LIKE: 

She confines herself to one, superb collection--  the antique celadon porcelain on top of the stunning armoire.  Like most celadon, they uplift the whole room, bring color and history in, and glow softly up there...

NOT LIKING:

The sculpted rug.  Can just imagine how a soft, worn Indian or Turkish rug would temper the formality, and give just that extra 'color jolt' needed.  I'm fantasizing her client insisted on the more "regular",  neutral and boring (but no doubt expensive) floor covering....   It almost looks like it could be jute or something like that, as opposed to wool, but whatever it is, it's too "regimented".

LIKE:

The chaise by the window.  Looks inviting and almost casual, esp. with the patterned throw on it.

LIKE:

The intimate corner with the banquette and lovely circular reeded table. What a great place to congregate, dine or just hang out.

The delicate and sprightly chintz on the banquette is just what the room needs.  Love the way she pulls out the slate-y blue of the print, in the blue chair and vase.  The portrait is a quirky and amusing touch.

LIKE:

I know this sounds nutty, but the pair of drip-glaze table lamps in the room are almost my favorite thing.  The way that irregular warm 'toffee' color spills down the creamy lamp base, picking up the other predominant brownish color in the room, love! 

Also like the cone shaped shades on all the lamps, strikes a clean note of modernity.

A few other areas and rooms --

Love the old map.  And there's a soft blue again...

Elegant lacquered merlot walls in powder room--

Mmm, more rich warmth.

Is this a bar, or a breakfast nook or ??   I like the way the smoky mirror looks with the warm wood...

The bedroom continues the calm, restful feeling, but in a way that is cool and refreshing...

Love the chalky lamp and chair--

Like: the height of the room

Don't Like: the rest.

The living room isn't an ideal place for chaise if one has guests. Who'd sit there other than the resident? 1 person? Would they lie on their back on the chaise? There's no back otherwise, so no support. A big waste of seating space.

Like: the bedroom location of the other chaise in the bedroom

Don't Like: the flowers in the powder room

Just lovely.  I like everything about this place.  I love the fringe on the sofa!

I scrolled several times to find something I liked so I could have a positive response. I like the lilac's and white tulip's.

[CANDLEQUEEN]

I like the bedroom-very peaceful and pretty, serene. That shade of blue is very calming to me.

I also like the entryway with the mirror.

I don't care for any of the rest - just not my style at all.

[CarolinaGirl88]

Very interesting place. My favorites are the entry and the bedroom. I like a lot about the living room, too. I think it's lovely, but would prefer a printed rug to add some color- maybe greens? The powder room is pretty; quite "fancy," though.  I'm not a fan of the kitchen/breakfast nook area. 

[Bonkers1]

Entirely too busy - where is the focal point?

[ciao_bella]

Nice warm tones, but I'm not a fan of the kitchen or breakfast bar. Don't like the counter tops or backsplash at all! 

[SandySparkles]

I pondered the personality of each room respectively, and found the beautiful, yet quaint bedroom with its cool tones to hold my favor!🙂 The strategic placement of the vase with just the right amount of lilac floral presence made the space quite welcoming! I would absolutely LOVE❤️ to spend a night there!🥰

There are SO many interesting elements in the other rooms, but the color schemes are not my favorite.😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

two things:  That painting is depressingly dreary.

                    That banquette has got to be the most 

                          uncomfortable seating set up.
