Mansion in May 2025 Tulip Award Winners
“All of our interior and landscape designers have done a spectacular job. We are so grateful for their participation in this year’s Mansion in May. Each one of them brought their individual creativity and expertise and worked long hours to make this mansion a success,” said Mary Courtemanche, Co-Chair, Mansion in May 2025.
Interior Design
According to interior design space winner Kristin Badolato, she derived her inspiration for The Dining Room from both the surrounding landscape and the architectural integrity of the home.
​
“Great design listens to its surroundings. For this dining room, I drew inspiration from the lush landscape just beyond the bay window and sought to create a space that not only reflects that natural beauty, but also pays homage to the elegance and history of the home’s era,” said Kristin Badolato. “The result is a timeless design that blends traditional foundations with modern elements, offering a fresh yet classic aesthetic.”
Landscape Design
The winning landscape space design team of Sarah Conine and Beth Rosevear collaborated on the design of Chasing Serenity and created one grand outdoor living area.
​
“This space adjacent to the pond and a welcoming pool was the perfect setting to design and create a patio that offers an idyllic escape where you can embrace the beauty of the outdoors in style,” said Beth Rosevear.
​
Sarah Conine said, “This is Garden Cottage’s 7th Mansion in May and we were honored to once again participate alongside our fellow designers in support Morristown Medical Center.”
“Our guests were captivated, unable to choose a favorite,” said Barbara Ruane, Co-Chair, Mansion in May 2025. “Each room and garden whispered its own story, each space a world of its own. Together, they left an impression that lingered long after the visit.”
