No need for a throw rug. The inlaid tile pattern creates a "rug" in front of the vanity, and the radiant heating keeps toes warm while at the sink. The freestanding tub has a graceful, curved shape and is a wonderful place to read or watch birds in the trees. Design: Carol Lombardo Weil, Photo: Alain Jaramillo

To keep the windows as open as possible the draperies were magically pulled back using the Italian stringing method. Small details make a big difference -the rust silk cornices are pleated to add texture and the color is accented in the button detail and top edge piping on the pleated linen drapery. The subtle diamond weave in the silk sheers has the added embellishment of white faux pearls. The soft light from the contemporary chandelier adds to the cozy factor for this room.

This is quite a different room from before. It exudes comfort with lots of luxe finishes. Floor to ceiling custom silk draperies behind the upholstered bed create drama and accent the height of the room. We kept the same color palette with new furnishings - sleek and glamorous nightstands with a matching triple dresser, a subtle men's wear inspired herringbone fabric on the settee, with a muted abstract patterned rug.

Kitchen - small 1950s light wood floor and brown floor kitchen idea in Los Angeles with a farmhouse sink, recessed-panel cabinets, turquoise cabinets, marble countertops, multicolored backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a peninsula and white countertops

This is a Tromp l'oiel (fool-the-eye) library "Reading Room" themed bathroom of separately cut out "books" "arranged"on faux shelves, of real antiqued wood molding. The toilet was blended by making it part of a library table. The toilet tank became a stack of books under the table. (Yes, wallpaper can be glued to porcelain!) The larger window scene was hand painted and the removable, stained glass "window" was hung over a painted sky-with-leaves which is lit from behind by an light-sensitive electric window candle. Painting in tops and sides of the books cut out of wallpaper completed the illusion. Photo credits: Neffworks.com
