"Adolescents tend to operate in a blissful state of oblivion around the aesthetic curation of a home, but Adam Sternberg wasn't like most children. When, at the age of 10, he learned that his mother was giving away a beloved drapery fabric, he instead convinced her to keep it in storage, where it sat for nearly 60 years until he found the perfect use for it in his own home."
"The 8,300-square-foot abode, which he found after years of real estate fits and starts, and decades caring for his aging mother in Manhattan, contains cherished family furnishings, antique heirlooms, and various collections of tableware, books, and art-all of which were spread across multiple residences and storage facilities around New York City and underwent a painstaking editing process prior to arriving upstate."
Adam Sternberg, a retired documentary film producer, saved a beloved drapery fabric at age 10 and later used it in his Westchester study. The fabric is a restored botanical print featuring drawings by 17th-century naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian. The 8,300-square-foot expanded 1950s farmhouse houses cherished family furnishings, antique heirlooms, and collections of tableware, books, and art collected from multiple residences and storage facilities. Sternberg inherited thousands of items from his mother, unpacked and examined every box, and shaped the house as a way of preserving and telling his family story. Designer Sally Rigg was tasked with streamlining and modernizing the house.
