Living in a West Village town house is a dream shared by many New Yorkers. When Andie and Jon Kully and their two children were lucky enough to upgrade from a Manhattan condominium to a storied brick-faced exemplar on a cobblestone street, they made theirs come true. Complete with a separate carriage house accessed via a covered horse walk, one of the city’s last remaining, the 1859-built abode had been previously renovated to handsome effect. However, its interior needed an overhaul to fit the Kully family’s needs—and taste.
Although Andie is a retired interior designer, she wanted to collaborate with another professional on the decorating. She was drawn to the work of New York–based talent Starrett Ringbom on social media, and a mutual friend connected them. Their styles were in total alignment. “I love color and print and pattern, and Starrett has a similar appreciation. Aesthetically, I felt we were very like-minded,” says Andie, who now acts as the creative director of Left Lane, a hospitality and real estate development firm cofounded by her husband.
