"Black is dramatic and daring. It has that forbidden quality, which is irresistible. I think of sexy black negligees and fast black cars. A room painted black is a place where you can tell secrets. The semigloss finish gives it an edge, like patent leather, and makes everything pop. You have to be very confident to use black, and that kind of confidence is very attractive." -NANCY BOSZHARDT See the next slide for paint information.

If Miles Redd smoked, he would definitely use a cigarette holder. We could almost imagine him in a 1930s black-and-white movie and his home is testimony to the glamour of other eras more charming than our own. He’s fine with the modern world, can cope with it and all (he’d just bought a BlackBerry, despite his general dislike of technology), but he seems to feel that true elegance resides elsewhere. Not surprisingly he derives a certain signature inspiration from images by people like Richard Avedon and René Gruau, pictures which capture that somewhat elusive, brittle world of our near past. So we’re going to be talking more about you in this interview, rather than about design. We’re not going to ask you so much about whether or not you like furniture on the diagonal. You know, there are no absolutes … although there are certain things that I hate like glass tops on skirted tables and weird little idiosyncratic things … I hate roller suitcases. It’s just the sound, the clack, clack,... See less

MIMI READ: You've drenched the foyer and stair halls in an extreme shade of fuchsia. Was the owner nervous about letting you steer a classic Brooklyn brownstone head-on into pink? JONATHAN BERGER: She went for it right away. It's an all-girl household, and she wanted to celebrate that fact. Who is she? Heather Evans, a marketing executive and former model who lives here with her four daughters — Zoe is 19, Eva is 14, Lila is 12, and Sofi is 10. All of them are extremely active and energetic, with lots of friends over all the time. The minute you walk in and see the hot pink foyer and those pink leather chairs around the game table in the middle of the parlor floor, you know just who they are. Pink was our main statement, and we used bits of it throughout the house, taming it with browns, pale blues, and creams. Did the girls get involved in the process? Oh, yes. Before they even closed on the property, the girls started putting together a scrapbook filled with pages from recent design... See less

Berger found the Napoleon III-style rope ottoman at Christie's, and the ceramic garden stool on eBay. A Tuareg North African carpet made of leather and reeds is from Textilia Gallery; the vintage Ionic column floor lamp is from Tepper Galleries. See less

An antiqued mirror in the back of the living room reflects the front area of the room. The hand-painted wallpaper is by de Gournay; the graphic late-19th-century carpet is English. A pair of George III chairs, painted chalky milk white, are covered in Scalamandré’s Anemone. Berger designed the hand-hammered brass coffee table. See less
