The Neo-corner shower makes the best use of the shower area and still feels airy with the frameless glass walls and door. The rainhead and hand-held shower elements offer a choice of spray, and makes for easy shower clean up.

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

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.

Chairs facing each other provide an intimate seating area at the foot of the bed. The large scale artwork "Don Quixote" by Zaza Khabuliani, provides a inspiring and whimsical touch to the room. And the handmade paper artwork, " Adventure of Courage",by Jeanne Petrosky above the cream painted chests adds a pop of color and another layer of subtle texture to the room.

The chocolate glaze on the maple cabinets echoes the dark chocolate paint on the walls and the dark granite countertops.
