This week, we're joined by distinguished architect and designer Thomas Kligerman of Kligerman Architecture and Design. Tom takes us on a journey through his rich background and design philosophy, as showcased in his latest book and career monograph "Shingle and Stone." He shares insights on American architecture, the evolution of the shingle style, and how he blends traditional elements with modern design.

Decorating Dilemma:

Hi Jen and thank you for writing! First, Thomas suggests using simpler moldings to leave walls uninterrupted and give a sense of height. For the ceiling, Tom recommends a flat finish and suggests experimenting with a hint of pink to complement the green walls. A little bit of green can go a long way. Painting moldings and walls in the same color, with slight variations in finish (e.g., eggshell for moldings, slightly less shiny for walls). Overall, Thomas suggests letting the architecture be consistent, and maybe let the color be what’s different. Can’t wait to hear about how it goes, and what your husband thinks about the little bit of pink!
