Color, Texture, and Art Bring Palm Springs Pride to This Pennsylvania Home
There’s no place like home—and there’s also nothing quite like an interior designer who really “gets” you. The designer-client relationship is an important bond that, for Jeffery Osgood and Patrick Richard, spans across multiple years and projects. While the couple hired Krystal Reinhard of Old Soul Design Studio to decorate their former apartment in downtown Philadelphia, they craved more space post-pandemic. So, they purchased a 3,606-square-foot home in Pennsylvania’s West Chester county—and knew exactly who to call to bring their vision to life.
“Krystal didn’t just design our home,” Richard explains. “She helped us discover who we are, in space and style. Our partnership with her is built on deep trust, shared taste and a kind of design telepathy that’s hard to describe.” Reinhard honored the couple’s penchant for contemporary design—she says their old unit was “very Mad Men mid-century”—but infused a little Palm Springs-inspired glamour.
“We always say we’re ‘mid-century modern gays,’ and Palm Springs is a design language we speak fluently—even from Pennsylvania,” explains Osgood. “There’s something about the joyful geometry, the confidence in color and the effortless blend of vintage and new that captures our spirit.”
The result? A thoughtful mix of textiles, patterns and art that brings out the best of both coasts.
The Living Area
Since the couple moved into a spec home, a turn-key property without customized details or features, Reinhard was tasked with the challenge of making a large great room feel intimate and personal. “As an industry, we’re steering away from these massive open concepts and doing more compartmentalized rooms,” she explains. “I wanted to make sure there was flow and intention: That they could move within the spaces, but felt like each space had its own designated area.”
While the coffered ceiling grounds the great room, strategically placed furniture creates the illusion of smaller, cozier spaces. In the living area, a leather couch from CB2, RH’s acrylic upholstered stools and a gilded coffee table from Modern Elements Furniture build a beautiful background for connection and conversation.
But the focal point of the space is the graffiti-esque painting from Texan artist Kelly O’Neal. “There’s this very colorful art piece that’s blended with a minimalist, contemporary vibe so it’s still soothing,” she says. “That way, the pops can be enjoyed and spark conversation.” To emphasize the bold artwork—and seal its fate as the anchor of the area—Reinhard painted the wall behind it in Iron Ore by Sherwin-Williams.
The Dining Space
Though Reinhard is no stranger to dark, moody colors, the dining area acts as a midpoint between the living space’s black accent wall and the lighter kitchen. Here, upholstered chairs from RH flank a glass-topped, brass-based table from Bernhardt—giving this often-utilitarian space a touch of glamour.
Crisp, dramatic neutrals might be at the forefront of this space, but Reinhard brought a softness to the dining area with metal and acrylic stools reupholstered in nature-inspired fabric and a verdant artwork, also by Kelly O’Neal. According to the couple, O’Neal’s works were their first big art investments and set the tone for the home.
“It tells people this is a home that values fine design, but doesn’t take itself too seriously,” Richard shares. “A place for laughter, clinking glasses, long conversations, and for chosen family.”
The Kitchen
Neutral kitchens often get a bad rep for being humdrum, but Reinhard’s interpretation celebrates the beautiful intentionality of the pared-back palette. She swapped out subway tiles for a full-slab Silestone Calacatta backsplash and matching countertops. A trio of black pendants from Visual Comfort hang above a gray island, which offers a welcomed juxtaposition from the white cabinetry.
Speaking of the cabinetry, the kitchen is outfitted with hardware in an array of finishes to provide a layered, lived-in feel. “Who wants to walk into [a room] that feels sterile and utilitarian?” asks Reinhard. “It is an intentional thought to bring in those metals so that you do get the sense of warmth. Even though it may be a newly sourced piece, it doesn’t feel that way.”
The Primary Bedroom
Reinhard designed the home to evoke memories from Osgood and Richard’s many travels, but when it came to the primary bedroom, she fixated on building the ultimate staycation spot—one the couple would never want to leave. “I wanted to give them a sexy, moody retreat that felt like a bespoke Airbnb you might have in Europe or downtown New York City,” she explains.
Dramatic hues made a comeback in the form of Sherwin-Williams’s Tricom Black, a high-gloss hue that covered the upper part of the room to modernize its tray ceilings. A leather bed frame from RH and Avasa’s custom bedding complement the darker ceiling while offering a refined, tailored finish to the couple’s bed.
Similar to the home’s common areas, art played a big role in the boudoir. An oversized piece from Leftbank Art hangs over the bed—creating the illusion of a beefed-up headboard—while a series of metallic “wall vessels” lend a touch of unexpected texture. “It feels like a sculptural art piece,” Reinhard explains. “It was a fun space to play with different genres of design and art: There’s a bit of traditional [design], and then we have those super cool modern light fixtures juxtaposed against a classy crystal chandelier.”
The Guest Bedrooms
From accent walls to punchy upholstery, pattern is the clear star of the home’s guest bedrooms. The secret, Reinhard says, lies in the proportions. “There’s a time and a place to go all out, but scale is super important when you’re curating a space,” she explains.
Here, opposites attract: A bed frame swathed in Kristine Sarley’s geometric, jade green fabric feels balanced next to the micro-printed curtains. Meanwhile, a high-contrasted Thibaut accent wall is expertly paired with textured solids.
The Office
“We didn’t want to mimic Palm Springs,” Osgood insists. “We wanted to channel it: the sense of welcome, playfulness and light.” Perhaps no room captures the spirit of Palm Springs quite like the office, where an accent wall, featuring wallpaper from York Wallcoverings, takes center stage. In fact, Reinhard says this repeat was love at first sight.
“Everybody has a starting point with a space, whether it’s a rug or an art piece,” she says. “For me, it was the paper.” A modern take on Palm Springs style and an excellent Zoom background? Consider us sold. Reinhard rounded out the room with a black desk with woven touches and angular chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting Group, which she says mimics a palm leaf.
The result? Retro, refined and rife with personality. “We like to think of it as a home that throws a wink as much as it offers a hug,” Osgood says. “It’s modern, yes, but not sterile. Nostalgic, but not stuck in time.” Richard agrees: “It’s Palm Springs by way of Pennsylvania, with every detail curated to reflect comfort and joy.”

What’s old is new again in Pennsylvania as the Penguins and Flyers renew a long-simmering rivalry
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Sidney Crosby would not take the bait, even though the smile on his face and the gleam in his eye hinted that maybe the Pittsburgh Penguins captain kind of wanted to.
Told that Philadelphia Flyers coach Rick Tocchet – an assistant with the Penguins when Pittsburgh won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017 – knew his current team was going to have to “get after” Crosby and longtime running mates Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang when the cross-state rivals open their first-round series on Saturday night, Crosby just grinned.
“I mean, to be expected, what else can you expect me to say?” the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer said with a small laugh. “We’re all out there competing. We all are after the same thing. That’s how it works.”
Technically, that’s how it always seems to work whenever the Flyers and Penguins get together, regardless of circumstance. Things only figure to be ramped up considerably during the eighth – and perhaps most unlikely – playoff meeting between two teams separated by 300 miles geographically and considerably more in terms of postseason success.
The three Cups that Crosby has won during his 21-year career are one more than the Flyers have in the franchise’s nearly six-decade history, and yes some are still keeping track of Philadelphia’s long nuclear winter since its last championships.
The chances of either club being the last one standing when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman hands the Cup to the victors in early June are slim. Oddsmakers put the resurgent Penguins in the middle of the pack to win it all, while the Flyers – who needed a 14-4-1 sprint to the finish to return to the postseason for the first time since 2020 – are among the longest shots in the 16-team field.
Not that any of that will matter when the puck is dropped and the venom that has long defined the contentious relationship between the clubs bubbles back up to the surface.
That venom on Philadelphia’s side has long been targeted at Crosby, who has beaten the Flyers three times in four playoff meetings, with the one loss coming during a frantic six-game series in 2012. Almost all the faces from those teams are gone.
Except, of course, for perhaps the most important one. Crosby, the only player in NHL history to average a point a game in 21 straight years, remains a threat and highly motivated by the return to the playoffs following a three-year absence.
“We have a ton of respect for Sid,” Tocchet said. “He’s an unbelievable person and player. But we’ve got to get him in the ditches right? We’ve got to make it hard on him.”
A long-awaited debut
Rasmus Ristolainen’s agonizing wait to feel the vibe of playoff hockey is over.
The Flyers defenseman will make the first postseason appearance of his 13-year, 820-game career when he hops over the boards at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday night.
Ristolainen’s wait before his playoff debut is the third-longest in NHL history. The 31-year-old even played in the Olympics before a postseason game. He won a bronze medal in February while playing for Team Finland at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
“Just really excited to play meaningful games this time of year,” said Ristolainen, who played in just 44 games this season while battling elbow injuries. “It’s been a really, really fun last month or so.”
Skinner or Silovs?
First-year Pittsburgh coach Dan Muse has flip-flopped between goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Arturs Silovs since the Penguins acquired Skinner in a trade with Edmonton in December.
Whether that will continue in the postseason is anybody’s guess. Skinner has a decided advantage over Silovs in playoff experience, having backstopped Edmonton to consecutive Cup appearances in 2024 and 2025.
Yet Muse has kept his thoughts close to the vest, and statistically speaking, Silovs and Skinner posted nearly identical numbers, none of them particularly great. Silovs finished the year with a .887 save percentage and a 3.07 goals against average while Skinner had a slightly worse save percentage (.885) and a slightly better goals against (2.99).
“We’re looking at all factors,” Muse said. “As I’ve said multiple times, I think both guys have been great for us. Both guys are a big part of why we’re here today preparing for Game 1.”
What’s old is new again
Philadelphia forward Sean Couturier has played for the Flyers for so long that he was actually teammates with his boss, general manager Danny Briere.
Couturier was once a key cog during a previous rebuilding phase in Philadelphia, back when he was the eighth overall pick in the 2011 draft. Couturier made his debut that season and has largely remained a steady presence in the lineup – save for back injuries that cost him the 2022-2023 season – and is the only Flyer still around from the franchise’s last home playoff series victory against, yes, the Penguins in 2012.
Couturier, Travis Sanheim and Travis Konecny are the only three Flyers on the roster to have played in a home playoff game, back in 2018.
“We were for a lot of years kind of in the middle, competing hard,” said Courtier, who had 12 goals and 24 assists this season. “We had some good teams. Just always missing a little something to get to the next step. I think it was maybe time to take a step back and rebuild. I’m just glad with how everything’s gone, honestly.”
