A BEAUTIFUL HOME

Posted by PicasaA beautiful home in a beautiful setting is ultimately what my client wanted. First came the practicalities, good schools, walkable community, the necessary number of bedrooms and bathrooms. She found it all in an area filled with other beautiful homes. Her home stands out as unique. It is French Norman style architecture with stone floors, beamed ceilings and paned windows with antiqued glass.
Truly beautiful.

Living Room



Posted by PicasaThe living room is filled with gorgeous fabrics. The window treatments are flowing panels of silk from Scalamandre'. The sofa is covered in a lush, deep mushroom colored velvet. The area rug is a wool and silk, hand knotted, custom design made in Nepal. The colors of the rug are taken from the subtle tones in the terazzo floor, cream, grey, taupe and a touch of lavender.
This palette is used throughout the living and dining room.

Dining Room


Posted by PicasaThe dining room has soft, pale lavender walls. The deep wood tones of the furniture are contrasted by the shades of vanilla in the silk embroidered fabric at the windows.

Family Room

Posted by PicasaThe family room has windows on three sides, wonderful natural light. To subdue that light, the Roman shades for the windows are in a Bailey & Griffin print fabric that repeats the colors in the stone floor.
