A full renovation to reproduce an elegant detailed apartment was needed for a client moving from a spacious Connecticut home and into the more crowded Upper West Side of Manhattan. Like most empty nesters, a change of scenery was desired. A full renovation proceeded to reproduce an elegant detailed apartment with paired down upholstery and drapery in rich brick, brown and silvers. A daring library in deep avocado lacquer is tamed by comfortable upholstery, a custom rug from Beauvais and a classic paisley velvet.
