Hearthside Comfort

Eddie Armchair by Lona Design “This chair is one of my very favorites, incorporating classic design elements with a whimsical twist. At the fireside, or in any space, this chair just begs you to relax and put your feet up at the end of a long day.” THROUGH KATHERINE COWDIN, INC.

Dorsey Throw by Sferra “These cashmere throws are so soft and decadent! The herringbone texture and fantastic colors are a wonderful accent to any room. They also make a fabulous gift, even to yourself.” THE LINEN PRESS, OLD GREENWICH, (203) 637-0200

Serpentine Andirons by Ironware International “These andirons are great fun. Their hand-forged artisan look and beautiful finish give them a warm, unique feel. Put them near the fireplace for a very special look.” THROUGH KATHERINE COWDIN, INC.

"Sadge Barriers" by John Funt (2005) “This oil painting would make an amazing focal point above the mantel, bringing peace, color and depth to the room. How wonderful it would be to sit with your feet by the fire and enjoy that view!” NELSON MACKER FINE ART, THROUGH KATHERINE COWDIN INC.

We asked three Connecticut designers to set a cozy hearth.
