This is an
inventively designed new room with overtones of a classical country
house. The use of a rustic finished paneling with an elaborately carved
cornice forms a perfect surround for the books. The room offers a
feeling of unpretentious grandeur.
A detached garage
with attic was incorporated into a suburban residence and turned into a
dramatic two story family room filled with character. The stone walls and beamed
ceilings are original to the 1920's garage.
This garden room,
which is surrounded on three sides by glass, always has light streaming in.
The floral theme throughout tends to bring the outside in. The walls
have stenciled patterns which are punctuated by porcelain flowered wall
sconces.
