The Inn at Pound Ridge is one of the area’s hot spots, known for its wonderful ambiance and great food.  The elegant but down to earth fare by Chef Jean-George is the main attraction, but the decor is what I find so memorable.  The curve of the banquets, the use of leather, and a neutral palette add up to an interior that makes you want to stay for hours and hours.

Named for the building’s history as an inn, the Inn at Pound Ridge is a refined, yet rustic, restaurant in picturesque Pound Ridge, New York.  Built in 1833 as a residence before later serving as an inn, the building has been restored and carefully renovated.  Many of the original materials have been preserved, resulting in a modern sensibility that stays true to the building’s historic past.  A mixture of reclaimed wood, zinc, and marble throughout the interior meld with artful lighting to create a truly warm atmosphere.

In fact, the interior of the Inn and Pound Ridge was so well done by designer Thomas Juul-Hansen that it has become the inspiration for a home I am currently designing in Montana.  I love how the Danish furniture, the stone, and the wood elements at the Inn became a point of reference for a home in an entirely different state.
