Remarkable Rooms of Richard Keith Langham
Growing up in the tiny town of Brewton, Alabama, Richard Keith Langham revealed an early instinct for design, rearranging his mother’s furniture, advising her friends on paint colors, and endearing himself to a small but flinty band of steel magnolias. One of these women, determined to catapult young Langham to success, dragged him into the office of a prestigious Birmingham architect and declared, “Darling, this is Keith Langham. Can’t you see he’s just the most talented boy in the world!” Talent and hometown backing eventually landed Langham in New York, where, as an associate of Mark Hampton, he began to work with grandes dames like Jackie Onassis and Patricia Buckley, cultivating a reputation for sophisticated interiors and impeccable style. As his new book illustrates, Langham is equally at ease working on a Central Park penthouse, a New Orleans mansion, a Pennsylvania barn, or a Palm Beach retreat. Good taste, he seems to say, can reside anywhere, including Brewton, Alabama.

Tour Sara Ruffin Costello’s Striking and Stylish Home
Sara Ruffin Costello—interior designer, sittings editor for Vogue, founding creative director of Domino magazine, contributor to T magazine and Travel + Leisure (among others)—has many admirable qualities and talents. She’s smart, she’s glamorous, she has an incredible eye for fashion and home style. But less apparent on paper, and more so the minute you start talking with her, is that she’s a really good time. Frank, ribald, and loosey-goosey, she has both polish and mischievousness, and that comes through in her home.
Sara’s appetite for fun was never in doubt, but her ability to engage in it got a major boost three years ago when she, her husband, and their three children moved from the relatively cramped confines of a Manhattan apartment to a grand home in New Orleans’s Garden District. There, in an Italian Gothic house once owned by a railroad tycoon, she finally has the time and space to throw all the parties she wants (a lot) and to design and live in rooms that reflect her chic, playful esprit and love of good lines. “It’s formal, yet informal,” Sara says of the house. “It’s cit
