More dramatic art fills the space – a large painting by Mike Williams and a stack of works by Dana Ruth Harvey – acquired from Cole Pratt Gallery on Magazine Street. "What we love about our home," says Susu, "is that it is filled with things we personally select. Andrew loves landscapes and I adore color and unique details; the house is definitely us!"

numbered plexiglass, glass, and steel table, available in one specific size only, is shipped from Paris and installed right on site. It's an all day affair. Three thousand pieces of crumpled 24 karat gold sheets are placed in the table one by one before it is sealed; Susu was even invited to place some of the pieces herself.

Hanging above the French buffet de corps are two oil on paper works by Andrew Bucci dated from the 1950s; sitting on the dining table are a pair of candlesticks by ceramic sculptor Bradley Sabin and atop the bronze sconces are two additional Bucci abstracts – all tied together by an envelope of warm silk wallpaper.
