"This town house was the coming together of our lives," says Abigail Klem Spector of the 16,500-square-foot West Village abode she now shares with her husband, private equity executive Warren Spector, and teenage daughter, Georgia. "It was the first home that we were going to create together. I wanted it to reflect us as a family." This reflects not only their love for each other but also their desire for their home to embody their family values and experiences.
"Abigail wanted something unique; she didn't really want a house that was just decorated by a decorator whose signature you might recognize," says Lincoln, whose gallery, Jeff Lincoln Art + Design, pairs important historical design pieces with blue-chip contemporary art. "She wanted something more curated and collectible, and it also had to perform for her lifestyle." This showcases the importance of personalizing space and ensuring it aligns with the family's way of living.
Although the house had been stripped of its original interior detailing before Warren became its owner, the history of what had once been inside and its neighborhood's bohemian artist past were major sources of inspiration for Lincoln's redesign. Here, Lincoln emphasizes the significance of historical context in home design and the value of blending modern needs with a residence's artistic heritage.
