Q&A with ‘Young Traditionals’ Suysel & Anne of Tilton Fenwick (Part II of II)

We got the chance to chat with Suysel dePedro Cunningham and Anne Maxwell Foster of Tilton Fenwick to learn what patterns they can't get enough of this Spring.




GDG: What do you recommend we watch for this Spring?
SC+AF: We’re note typically pink people, but with both the long-awaited arrival of spring AND the Pantone color of the year (18-2120 Honeysuckle) we are inspired! We’ve got some pink going on in the decoration of our new office, which we're so excited to reveal! Until then, one of our favorite wallpapers is Perfect Pink. And, speaking of Farrow & Ball, how about their newest paint colors? We love this bold orange. Unlike pink, orange is one of our staples. We just simply can’t wait to use this new hue, “Charlottes Locks.”


GDG: What is the first thing you can wait to do once warm weather sets in?
SC+AF: We love a good pedicure! As decorators, we are constantly finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere. Even a nail polish color can trigger a great idea! We recently had a wall finished in decorative Venetian plaster that was inspired by an Essie nail polish color!




GDG: Any fun examples of this Winter really getting to you?
SC+AF: Our Paris trip in January to Maison + Objet definitely helped shed the winter blues. Even though the weather was just as cold and dreary as New York, it definitely recharged our creative energy. One fun story happened in the middle of January, with the weather bleak, snowy and absolutely frigid. We found great joy from just looking at this new fabric from Oscar de la Renta at Lee Jofa.  When we ordered it for a client’s headboard it was instant happiness!
