The primary bedroom features soothing tones of taupe and gray. The end tables hold vintage H-734 Assemblage lamps by Richard Barr for Laurel Lamp Co., designed in the early 1960s. “The sculptor’s Watchung workroom was located just 15 minutes from the Short Hills area,” Schafer says, “so the lamp design is native to this part of New Jersey.” Like the fireplace area downstairs, the primary bedroom features a sunken seating space — a common element in Midcentury design. The artwork above the dresser, featuring kaleidoscopic shapes in distinct but not overpowering hues, is called “Op-Art” by Carole-Lee Simmone. It adds hints of color to the room’s otherwise neutral palette. The sofa in the sunken nook near the fireplace is another remnant from the previous occupants. “It’s custom for this room. That was a win,” she says. “There were so many beautiful things from the ’70s that I was just swooning over.” Perhaps the most prominent of those beautiful things is the central atrium, a popular element in Midcentury architecture. “It’s everyone’s favorite,” Schafer says. “I had a party and hung disco lights in it. It’s the spirit of the house.” The Schafers — only the second family to live in this residence — have maintained that spirit, as well as their relationship with the previous owners, who still live in the area. “They built this house and they wanted to make sure it gets the respect it deserves. They knew we were going to do right by it.” DNJ SOURCES Overall: design by Malyev Schafer in Short Hills and London.

The wallpaper in the bunk room is a 1970s vintage safari animal print and is original to the house. Schafer notes, “My son’s favorite color is blue. I said ‘this is perfect.’ I designed the room around the wallpaper.” The bunk beds have a modern whitewash. “It’s not too vintage. There’s a sense that it’s of our time.” designnewjersey.com 59
