Phoebe Sung and Peter Buer, founders of Cold Picnic, reside in a 1910s townhouse in Ridgewood, Queens, where they embrace its closed layout to create uniquely themed spaces. The colorful living room features a custom Denis Denis rug and functional furnishings tailored for family life. The playroom stands out with citron walls and eye motif decor, making the most of its limited light. Buer's craftsmanship is highlighted in their dining room's built-in bookshelves, showcasing their extensive book collection accumulated from years of dedicated book sales. Each room reflects their distinct style while accommodating their lifestyle as parents.
With the dogs and the kids, it's always a matter of trying to make things look nice enough but also have it be completely functional.
We've always liked separate feelings for each space.
When we used to live in Boston, we would go to a book sale at a church in a neighboring town every weekend.
It's both laid on the white-painted wood floors and used as durable upholstery for a Hay Mags sectional.
