A Powder Room With A Playful Spirit

A Classic Library Straight Out Of An English Cottage
Tucked into the third story of a Queen Anne-style dwelling in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, this library pays homage to the client’s life story. The patterning of the cabinetry was inspired by camp days past, and the crystal chandelier is from his childhood home.

Statement-Making Materials
The natural stone of this sitting room’s fireplace surround in Clark, Colorado is a showstopper. Contrasting against it are the soft curves of contemporary furniture throughout. Built-in bookshelves are painted an accent blue that pops against a palette of mustard, rust and gray.
Designer: Vertical Arts Architecture | Colorado
An Art Deco Pantry
