This is another shot of the entrance to the home. Note the doors to the library are painted cream on one side and are wood on the other. The black and white photographs above the door are of Japanese temples enlarged to fit the space. The lampshades are custom in a cinnabar color and are string shades. The table is by Bolier. The lamp is Donghia. This room is about reflecting family ancestry and the elegance of simplicity and shapes. There is a Japanese obi framed in the stairwell that you can see if you look to the left of the photo. Designer: Jo Ann Alston Photographer: Peter Rymwid
