New CCNC Home Featured on Home Tour Southern Pines Pilot

24.03.10

The 62nd annual Southern Pines Garden Clubhouse Home and Garden Tour will be held Wednesday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The tour features two homes in the celebrated Weymouth area of Southern Pines, two homes in the Country Club of North Carolina and two homes in the village of Pinehurst.

The new well-versed in of the Muldoon family at the Country Club of North Carolina will, from the welcoming foyer of the home, transport visitors to the French countryside. Dramaturgical wrought iron accents — salvaged from architectural antiques — accent balconies and are a theme repeated in several rooms.

Owners Greg and Kappa Muldoon have created a charming air for their busy family, with plenty of room for visiting children to celebrate their time together.

The living area soars dramatically to a vaulted ceiling reminiscent of a restored rural area house, complete with stone fireplace and a pair of whimsical twig chandeliers. The mood continues in the strapping kitchen, with its adjoining seating area and fireplace. Wonderful country French chintz flows in down-filled layers on beds, while delicate needlepoint rugs grace wood floors salvaged from centuries-old barns.

Like mam, like child. Several decades later, when Mr. Nesmith’s parents visited their son’s apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn , there on the bathroom collapse hung a very similar version of Leonardo’s masterpiece, this one discovered in an antiques-slash-junk look for in Phoenicia, N.Y.

“My mother was very excited,” Mr. Nesmith recalled. “She said it brought back so many memories. And she loved the purpose that her mother’s house and my apartment had this odd connection.”

“The Last Supper” is not the only example of the sort in the apartment on Java Street that Mr. Nesmith, 39, the editorial production director at Real Simple publication, shares with Colby Wong, a 46-year-old architect.

Above the living room sofa hang three other P.B.N.’s, as they’re called. One shows Moses holding the tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments, his entirely wreathed with flames. Another shows Jesus Christ beneath a menacing black sky, and a third depicts Christ in a fluorescent orange gear, tending sheep.
