Client Wish: This young professional couple wanted to transform their plain builder-supplied room in their new dream home and make it something both she (very traditional and formal) and he (more mid-century modern but also formal!) could walk into and feel like they were living in the lap of luxury.

Wish Granted: The fine 19th century inspired wood furnishings with their inlay and silk-like sheen dance amidst rich, chocolate brown walls, an embellished ceiling and marvelous mid-century leaning dining chairs that wink with contrast brown trim. Sleek embroidered silk draperies are cut for fullness and the buttery gold fixtures and accessories infuse the room with a fresh, youthful vibe. The room says old money in a new way. Oh, and dinner’s at 8.
