Photographer: Agnes Jawoszek Walking the line between transitional and traditional design, this interior mixes the freshness of modern lines and elements with the classic beauty of traditional furnishings and textures. Emphasizing the height of the room is a travertine fireplace interspersed with textured limestone ledges. Adding glamor and sparkle on the opposite wall is mica wallpaper inset in panels proportioned to play off the sofa perfectly. The juxtaposition of the wallpaper to a similar paint color provides an interesting play on textures that is understated yet glamorous. Formerly a lifeless space, the use of various materials and elements mixed with a pop of color, enrich the space resulting in a stunning and elegant interior.

This estate is a transitional home that blends traditional architectural elements with clean-lined furniture and modern finishes. The fine balance of curved and straight lines results in an uncomplicated design that is both comfortable and relaxing while still sophisticated and refined. The red-brick exterior façade showcases windows that assure plenty of light. Once inside, the foyer features a hexagonal wood pattern with marble inlays and brass borders which opens into a bright and spacious interior with sumptuous living spaces. The neutral silvery grey base colour palette is wonderfully punctuated by variations of bold blue, from powder to robin’s egg, marine and royal. The anything but understated kitchen makes a whimsical impression, featuring marble counters and backsplashes, cherry blossom mosaic tiling, powder blue custom cabinetry and metallic finishes of silver, brass, copper and rose gold. The opulent first-floor powder room with gold-tiled mosaic mural is a visual feast.

The "OZ" mural painted by Steven Graff in 2005 made the front page of the local newspaper along with the Artist. The Artist has always enjoyed viewing the classic movie, "The Wizard of Oz" and wanted a permanent reminder. The mural is painted in durable acrylics. In fact, no acrylic painting or mural done by the Artist has ever cracked, peeled, or faded...paintings done in the mid-70's look exactly the same today.
