When designing the interior of her home, Blair knew she wanted to channel an East Coast vibe, but she looked to a specific spot in the Midwest for inspiration: the boarding school she attended as a child in Michigan, which was filled with old-fashioned design elements.
In addition to all of the bold colors, Blair’s 1950s Cape Cod-style home is filled with artwork and plaid accents.
“I wear black leather during the day, but I sleep inLilly Pulitzerpajamas,” Blair remarked of her personal style’s disparate influences.
Most importantly, Blair shared, she wanted her home to tell “a story,” an ideashe recycled from her late friend Carrie Fisher.
“She lived in a house that had this kind ofbeloved clutter that told a storyeverywhere you went,” she shared.
In fact, Blair even has a piece of furniture from Fisher’s estate: anEero Aarnio ball chairshe had reupholstered, that now sits in her 7-year-old son Arthur’s art room.
“I love my funny little house,” she remarked, adding that she’s glad she focused on re-decorating instead of ripping down the walls and starting from scratch.
