Read the Room - where I walk you through a room and let you see with me. Read the Room is my antidote to the common, overwhelming message of “Shop the room!” This series is meant to bring balance. To inspire and inform, with ideas and concepts, with ways and means, for living in and furnishing our homes. To help us all remember that a beautiful room is so much more than a catalog of specific goods to be acquired.
I’m thrilled to invite you into the kitchen of Tara Mangini and Percy Bright, of the famed two-person renovation company, Jersey Ice Cream Co. After spending a decade renovating houses for clients, they turned their talents toward their own antique farmhouse in upstate New York, purchased five years ago.
