Natural instincts: At home with designer Alana Woerpel


Alana Woerpel says her favorite room in her own home is the sunroom. “You can be inside and outside all at once, sitting on cushy upholstered furniture yet surrounded by woods, rhododendrons and a mossy courtyard with a fountain,” she says. “The real treat is when it snows. It’s like being in the middle of one of those glass globes with the white flakes swirling around you. Magic.” Photo: Amy Jackson
