Cover Story
Home Design Fall 2010: Family Style
Two girls with two fathers occupy a converted library; bearded bro
roommates go bucolic in Greenpoint; a mother converts a YMCA track into
a kitchen; Gloria Vanderbilt adorns a stately home with mementos of
her storied life; identical twins Teman and Teran Evans make unidentical
choices; a father turns a brownstone into a playpen for a 10-year-old and a
pig; a family entertainer retreats to his bachelor pad. By Wendy Goodman
On the Cover: Bunny and Lulu, twin daughters of interior designer Darren Henault and lawyer Michael Bassett. Photograph by Jason Schmidt for New York Magazine.
