The cozy softness of the room's milky gray walls, the pale oak herringbone parquet floors — after much deliberation, left unsealed to develop a patina — the verdigris side table that contrasts against a massive couch in what she calls a "truly faded-out persimmon" pink: All speak to Lyons's idiosyncratic genius for color and texture, but also to her exacting and precise eye, one trained over years superintending dozens of store openings and developing an understanding for how a space is meant to spotlight only the most central elements.

The building now sits on the well-known museum mile, and has that Upper East Side feel of dynastically preserved wealth, redolent in almost every aspect of the building: the nest of serenely white plaster archways at the entrance; the great hall's majestically high ceilings consisting of coffered, carved oak; the decorative plaster ceiling with raised strapwork design on the second floor; the intricate teak, parquet flooring; oak woodwork paneling; the carved wood railings of the grand staircase; and the stained glass tympanum and roundels over the entrance to the main floor's reception room.
