Built and architecturally engineered by Todd

Emerson, owner of Sterling Development

Corp. in Bloomfield Hills, and designed by

Amy Miller Weinstein, owner of AMW Design

Studio in Birmingham, this Birmingham

home's dining room layers multiple elements

while feeling clean and modern. Orange

felted wool covers Ligne Roset chairs all the

way down the legs; the table, which seats

12, sandwiches a layer of mesh between

two sheets of glass, creating a moire pat-

tern; hand-spl

tered wallpaper lines the

walls above u

xpected wainscoting; and a

pair of side-by side Bocci chandeliers from

Birmingham's

rkitektura In-Situ dangle

light-refle tin

crystal orbs.

In the same home's eat-in kitchen,

Weinstein lined a modernized

picnic table with white embossed

child-friendly faux-leather chairs

and duplicated them in barstools

at the black honed-soapstone-

topped island. John Morgan from
