Picture homeowner Bob Wolfe in a rakishly tipped fedora, shaking cocktails at a stylish bar while his lovely blonde wife, Laurie, greets guests warmly at the door. Jazz music plays in the background, completing the swingy vibe of a mid-century modern house that’s been decorated with a “Fly Me to the Moon” aesthetic. The couple are quiet country-folk who love hiking, tennis, cycling, fly-fishing, and looking at the views of Steep Rock Preserve from the wall of windows in their mountaintop Washington home. Above all, they love watching the sun rise and set through their windows. “We’ve seen more sunrises since we moved to this house than in the entire rest of our lives,” Bob says. The house they fell in love with is a 1960s classic. Not everyone realizes that Litchfield County was home to Bauhaus star Marcel Breuer; the Wolfes’ home definitely pays homage to that clean-lined, angular history. But for the furnishings, Laurie says, “I wanted to do something fun.” And she wanted to do it fast, giving designer Karen Davis of @davisrainesdesign in New Preston a mere few months to pull together a renovation of the lower level, all new furnishings, and room after room of wallpaper.
