Excerpt from Yachting Magazine; by Dudley Dawson-
Her décor, with interiors handled by Ardeo Design, is absolutely exquisite. Traditional and tasteful, Affinity abounds with details reminiscent of fine sailing yachts of the past. There are inlaid darts and compass roses in the tabletops and door moldings, accented with jade and turquoise. Carved wooden ropes are integrated with the crown moldings that wrap around the overhead in many rooms, and are echoed in mable inlays on bath countertops. Expressive and finely detailed paintings of nautical scenes adorn many bulkheads, and in some cases are mounted to panels that slide down to cover television screens that aren’t in use. It would have been easy to overdo such an interior and bring it to the point of caricature, but the mood is just right.
