Time can often be the enemy of a design project: The house is ready, but the kitchen isn’t; the fabric will be here Friday, but the sofa may take another three months. This house in the Kentucky countryside came together slowly and at a pace determined by the thoughtful way clients and designer collected, rather than acquired, its colorful contents.
In the music room, a Sheraton drum table and other antiques cede the limelight to a drop-front cabinet by South African maker Dokter and Misses and hand-blocked wallpaper by Marthe Armitage. “The idea,” says RP Miller founder Rodman Primack, “was not to fall into standard country house tropes and to have fun and collect along the way.”
