"When it came to Paris renovations, Sara Story had heard all the horror stories and knew she would have to say "Non, merci" to any place requiring construction. "I didn't want to have to do a lot of work," she admits. Instead, the Texan designer, who is now based in New York City, bought a two bedroom, third-floor pied-à-terre on the Left Bank that did not need any demo: The kitchen was ready,"
"Story is a passionate collector of art (her mother was a curator at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston), and in her entryway hangs a portrait by Ewa Juszkiewicz, in which the Polish artist has wound the head of her female subject in fabrics. It's a piece that can serve as a précis for the space to come: Story has enveloped the place in sumptuous textiles."
Sara Story bought a two-bedroom, third-floor pied-à-terre on the Left Bank that required no demolition, with a ready kitchen, archetypal parquet floors, and good light. She prioritized skipping construction and focused on creating a layered, textured, but not fancy Parisian apartment, employing more decoration than in her U.S. projects. Story placed a portrait by Ewa Juszkiewicz in the entryway and enveloped the home in sumptuous textiles, including brown-and-steel blue jacquard upholstery and bespoke cerulean pillows. She paired re-covered Roger Landault armchairs with a small hippo-shaped side table and balanced custom and vintage pieces for function and character.
