Once apon a time I was a scary basement located in a congested section of Cambridge MA. My clients and I set out to create a new space inspired by France that could also double as a guest room when needed. Painting the existing wood joists and adding bead board in between the joists and painting any exposed pipes white celebrates the ceiling rather than trying to hide it keeps the much needed ceiling height. Italian furniture, books and antique rug gives this once basement a very European well travelled feel.

Curated style! Traditional Tudor architecture gets a makeover with a brush of white paint on the walls and purple hued paint on the ceiling. The black horned sconces draws your eye in to a space exuding beauty and pleasure; where one can relax and enjoy the coherent decor. Gordon Gregory Photography

The ceiling surrounding the dome is painted to emulate decorative carved plaster. The dome is 12 ft. diameter; the overall ceiling is 35 ft. long and 22 ft. wide (includes unshown section).
