Page Six recently had the opportunity to explore Dorinda Medley’s iconic Blue Stone Manor, which was beautifully decorated for Halloween. However, the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum’s passion for interior design extends far beyond the spooky season, as she maintains a stylish and inviting atmosphere throughout the year.

The journey to the Berkshires was made possible by Tri-State Cadillac, who provided “Virtual Reali-Tea” co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real with their luxurious electric LYRIQ vehicle. Upon arrival, Medley, 59, eagerly showcased the estate’s most exquisite features.

She began by highlighting her custom Missoni carpets adorning the grand staircase, which add a vibrant pop of color and texture. Medley explained, “I just think it’s great because it pulls in all the colors of the house. And it’s a little bit modern but it doesn’t conflict with everything else kind of going on this house,” referring to the blue, green, and red hues in the zig-zag pattern.

Describing her home’s unique aesthetic, Medley remarked, “I always say the house is a little bit Marilyn Monroe, Frankenstein and old-world gilded age.”

At the bottom of the stairs, a sentimental art piece catches the eye – a painting purchased by Medley’s late husband, Richard. She recounted how Richard had a habit of impulsively bidding at school auctions, often to her frustration. This particular painting, acquired for $10,000 at a Sacred Heart auction, later turned out to be worth ten times that amount.

Medley shared, “He’s like, ‘You know that thing is actually worth, like, $100,000?’ So I had to get it insured immediately. So that’s a funny thing … I always think about that story and I always think about Richard when I come down [the stairs] in the mornings.”

Another cherished artwork in Medley’s home is a bedazzled picture of Marmite, reminiscent of her time living in London. She affectionately calls this area her “Living in London corner.” The painting holds special significance as it represents her daughter Hannah’s love for the distinctly British spread.

Medley explained, “This piece I saw in a gallery in London many years ago. When Hannah was little, she loved Marmite. And Marmite is such a cultural thing in London. You almost have to be raised with Marmite to like it.”

Although Medley herself never acquired a taste for Marmite during her decade in London, she wanted to honor Hannah’s fondness for it. She concluded, “It seems like every child in London — or in Britain — loves Marmite. So of course I had to buy this great Marmite painting. It’s such a great talking piece.”
