Picture Central Park in the spring, with cherry blossoms flowering and lush grass growing under the shining sun. Now imagine interiors inspired by those seasonal sights. Thats exactly what Samantha Stathis Lynch did while designing her clients apartment on New York's Upper East Side, only one block away from the famous park. Theres nothing more uplifting than seeing the first pops of vibrant green shoot up in the center of the gray city, says the founder of the New Jersey-based studio Samantha Ware Interior Design.Kirsten FrancisSamantha Ware, DesignerInitially, the clients enlisted Stathis Lynch to give the post-war Manhattan apartment, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a cosmetic makeover packed with color and pattern. While there was nothing wrong with the apartment to begin with, it lacked personality and was essentially a blank canvas with white walls, white cabinets, and simple bathrooms, says Stathis Lynch. But as the process went on, a kitchen renovation became a necessity because the existing cabinets were made of melamine and nearly impossible to paint. They needed to be replaced.Adding a kitchen renovation meant the project took a few extra months, but it also meant they were able to tweak the layout to maximize every inch of the 1,400-square-foot space. The star of the new cook space is the fresh cabinetry fabricated by Iron Oak and painted in Shasta Daisy by Portola Paints. When I gave the cabinet makers the color, they looked at me like I was crazy, says Stathis Lynch. But the first time they walked into the space when the kitchen was fully installed and the furniture was in, they said it was the happiest apartment they'd ever been in!Related StoriesThroughout the rest of the home, Stathis Lynch brought in additional bright yellows, shades of lavender, soft pinks, and natural greens. The living room is anchored by a floral Nanimarquina rug and an apple green velvet sectional, while a soft sage green grasscloth wallpaper creates a restful atmosphere in the primary bedroom. The client requested that the office, which doubles as a second bedroom, be an uplifting space with the ability to stimulate creativity, says Stathis Lynch. Maison C wallpaper wraps around the room, while a plush, dusty pink, velvet sleeper sofa offers the perfect place to relax with a book.The result marks a huge shift in the apartments design history, a stark contrast to its last version. With the soft, pastel pink of the cherry blossoms in full bloom comes hope and a sense of renewal, which I wanted to emulate, says Stathis Lynch.EntrywayKirsten Francis The client and I absolutely fell in love with this piece, says Stathis Lynch of the wall art by Marcy Cook Vreeland.
