In this age of over-curation, there is something comforting, perhaps even ahead of the zeitgeist, about the by-accident way the trio approached this home. The draped walls in the office came from leftover canvas Posen and Fulk were testing for a Banana Republic pop-up concept. The living room, anchored by two Deco armchairs, is dominated by a scarlet velvet sofa filched from a Banana Republic furniture line, as was the rust-colored Moroccan rug. The dressing room\u2014with its old Persian rug and deeply unfashionable mahogany desk\u2014is just wrong enough to be, well, cool. The campaign desks dotted about the house, a nod to the first seafaring owner, sit happily with the myriad objects\u2014ornate lamps, funny chandeliers, over-the-top vases, patchwork tablecloths, peculiar cushions\u2014gathered from local vintage stores by a pair of magpies constantly on the lookout for treasure.<\/p>\n

Before the call ends, Ball says, \u201cThe cottage is not, like, particularly fancy. I don\u2019t really love overdone stuff. It\u2019s a rental, so there\u2019s only so much we can do.\u201d Then he adds, with a contented smile, \u201cIt is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
