This library uses
industrial type metal shelving clad in a wood surround with decorative
crown and base. Even though the room is also furnished in contemporary
metal furniture, there is a sense of historicism provided by the sculpture, antique lighting fixtures and accessories.
A smart crisp
blue room trimmed in beige is set off by the prettiness of a quaint,
cozy reading nook. The tendril upholstery in the same colorway is used for
shams, bedspread, wall fabric, and window treatments.
The powder room
in a suburban residence draws on a feeling of nostalgia. The turned
columns supporting the vanity, the antique mirror and the unusual arm
chair, as well as other decorative motifs in the room were remnants of
the owners childhood home. The use of contrasting marble slab and mosaic
floors, as well as the woven upholstered wall-coverings add richness to
the space.
