reflecting the blue hues of the water. Courtney had admired similar panels at a luxury hotel in New York City. “I fell in love with the colors and the whole calm feeling of those panels,” she says. Made in China, the designs are hand-painted on textured papers that were installed in strips by a paint contractor. Framing the panels are moldings that flank 9-foot-tall double doors at each end of the room. 

In the dining room, Courtney somewhat reluctantly gave up her grandmother’s rectangular table. “I was adamant they use a round table,” Lagrange says. “You’re all together, and it’s more conducive to conversation.” A mirrored commode and gilt chandelier with rock crystals give the room a touch of Hollywood glam, the designer notes.

The kitchen was also renovated several years ago, and the McEnirys needed only to update it with paint, some new appliances, and stainless steel panels on the existing twin refrigerators. The linoleum floors were stripped and resealed with a high-gloss finish, and the black granite countertops were also refinished and resealed.

Lagrange jazzed up the kitchen with punches of apple green on the window shades and the mats on two prints hanging in the breakfast area. “We built on the black-and-white scheme and tried to hip it up a little bit with the fabric and color,” she says.

Daughters Grace and Eloise both weighed in on the design of their own bedrooms. Nineteen-year-old Grace went with a vibrant toile in an unexpected combo of acid-green and red. “It’s not your typical pink-and-green toile,” Lagrange says. Grace’s room doubles as a guest room because she is at college much of the year.
