Furnishings: I've furnished Palazzo Hudson with inspiration and comfort as my top priority. I mixed all of the paints myself, based on the colors of Frederick Church's Olana Mansion. The home features my personal art collection composed of everything from 1800’s Italian portraiture to contemporary art, combined with antiques, elegant furniture, chandeliers, and side lamps. All of the original wood moldings were preserved in the house, and most of the windows feature original centennial glass that creates a unique light as the sun draws across the Hudson Valley sky and drops behind the Catskills.
Entertainment: There are extensive libraries of my personal book collection inside both the house and in the Blue Library Lounge Barn. There's a flat-screen smart TV with Roku. Board games are located in the armoire in the living room. There is a chessboard in the pool house. Card decks are in drawers. There is a historic upright concert grand piano kept well-tuned and ready to play. Musicians love it! Bluetooth stereos are in the house and the backyard/pool area and pool house.
