Returning to his upstate New York roots, designer Thom Filicia turns a lake house into a gathering place for friends with rustic, but sophisticated decor. For more decorating ideas, read an interview with Thom Filicia.
"In summertime, the boathouse is our waterfront home base," Filicia says. Besides storing towels, water skis, and life preservers, it shelters a touch pad for controlling music from dockside speakers. Inside, vintage chairs are grouped beneath a papier-mâché chandelier. Come winter, the pavilion doubles as weatherproof stowage for the folding dock, paddleboards, and other gear.
In the dining room, Buckley Royal linen upholstery softens both the walls and the Greek Peak chairs, named after a local ski resort. Restoration Hardware's Burlap Dome pendant canopies the Bordino dining table from Vanguard Furniture, whose finish echoes paint-rubbed floorboards sealed with tung oil. Ceiling and trim, Dogwood Blossom by Pittsburgh Paints.
Inspired by existing plank doors, Filicia applied battens to the walls and ceiling of the den, "our cozy retreat where we can hide from the world." Here and throughout the house, he banished recessed downlights from a 1960s renovation, because they were antithetical to an intimate mood and period provenance. Circa 1900 Collection Train Station Swing-Arm Sconces by Restoration Hardware, illuminate his Lincoln Hill sofa and an unknown artist's faux-bois resin painting.
