"The architectural style of the home is Tudor. For the interiors, we played off the barrel-vaulted ceilings and the grandiose space that the Tudor style of architecture lends itself to. This allowed for lots of opportunity to play with color and large scale patterns," says Bruckstein. Case in point: The dining room has a barrel ceiling, and the adjacent library has an even higher vaulted ceiling. "I needed something dramatic to be able to hold its own across from the 12’ foot ceiling of the library," says Bruckstein. "This room really is a play on geometry and all about contrast." "We have the rigidity of right angles against the organic quality of a massive slab of suar wood," she says. "Mercury glass was the first form of glass used as an artistic expression versus a utilitarian product, which makes for an interesting pair with a chandelier based on the design of a Russian satellite."Table: Custom made by APG MetalworksWallpaper: Osborne and Little
