Not sure if what you have is valuable? Dunner offers free auction estimates via virtual appointments, with easy no-contact pickup of your goods. “Sometimes it’s more advantageous to sell those pieces now and get the money to invest, to buy something new, to put away for your heirs or give to a charitable organization.” Freeman’s is especially interested in pieces from legacy brands like Boucheron, Buccellati, Bulgari, Cartier, Harry Winston, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels.

“A lot of people have jewelry that they’ve acquired through their life and they’re still holding onto, but they never wear it and their kids don’t want it,” says Debrah Dunner, a Potomac-based rep for the auction house Freeman’s. If you’ve been sorting through old jewelry - and thinking about parting with some of the pieces you no longer love - now is a great time to take advantage of high gold prices and the booming auction market. All these months at home have given many of us a chance to tackle long-neglected organization projects. The co-op even created a custom scent for the space-“Hinterland Petrichor” by Phoenicia Soap Co. A blue-tone, mycelium-inspired, hand-painted design by artist Marcie Paper takes up one wall Katie Westmoreland’s hand-painted botanical musings fill out the rest. Co-op member Brenna Chase of Willow Deep Studio created a custom stained glass mushroom piece for the space and the walls are split with two different hand-painted treatments. The soft bedding, upholstery, and other textile accents include chiffon, linen, velvet and botanical dyed silk taffeta in deep greens, browns, and reds by Vagabond’s Daughter. Conceived and directed by Jennifer Salvemini of JLS Lifestyle Consulting, the room is dominated by a handcrafted Tusk and Tenon four post canopy bed in local ash by AUZ Design Studio. Inspired by Victorian-era naturalism and the idea of aging as a luxury, the space’s layers of careful design are reminiscent of the rich layers of a Catskills woodland floor. Many of the cooperative’s 10 artists met through the showhouse during previous years, and the creative synergy Damour had hoped to spur is well on display with their collaborative design. The home’s primary bedroom, recast as the “Forest Floor Boudoir” by the West Shokan-based art collective Hinterland, serves as a sort of piece de resistance for the fifth iteration of the showhouse. "A Room of One's Own" is a collaboration between Quittner Antiques and Worth Preserving. W ool-filled pillows, a handwoven blanket, and sheepskin, produced by Millterton-based Dashing Star Farm, complement the antique hanging rug that rounds out the space. The designers ingeniously transformed the room’s closet into a cozy reading nook by raising the floor to bench height and layering the surface with pillows, blankets, and lighting.

Another bedroom, repainted in a historical dusty terracotta shade, has been recast as a study and library.Ī collaboration between Quittner Antiques and historic preservationists Worth Preserving, the space, dubbed “A Room of One’s Own,” is full of antique tables and chairs, dreamy oil paint landscapes by Marieken Cochius, and custom-painted floor cloth by Studio Teppi. Local artist Ryan Cronin’s “Everything I Always Wanted” sets a pop art tone for the room. A custom headboard by Studio Glagola runs the length of one wall and is covered with Fabricut textiles. L’Alease ’s fun, whimsical take faces the street and features the home’s rounded bay windows.

Also upstairs, three bedrooms provide a study in contrast while all preserving the Victorian’s historic vernacular. The showhouse involved the complete installation of this kitchen, by Hendley & Co. The 2022 showhouse was previously a commercial property with only a kitchenette.
