The first thing you notice about the breakfast room is its coziness factor and the stunning backyard view. The vibrant pops of color in the antique Moroccan kilim rug carry through to the neoclassical chairs and floor-to-ceiling silk draperies to create a lively space that still feels intimate.

The second guest bedroom is quite different than the rest of the home, with its colorful patterns and intricate furniture design. The 1800s French bed is upholstered in Schumacher’s fabric “Plaisirs de la Chine”, which is flanked by green silk draperies.
