NYC Railing

HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Pantone colors of the year are Rose Quartz and Serenity (typically there is only one color). I am puzzled by this choice.  I was convinced it was going to be a shade of green?   Perhaps 2017’s color of the year will be a green.  I feel like green is coming…

In the 1940’s, the hotel’s 9th floor (penthouse) was converted to several high end apartments. Below the authentic concept drawing from that remodel. It was exciting for me, to view the drawing in the actual space today.  Shocked to discover the furnishings from 70 years ago were more contemporary.

Wow, a spectacular barn door made of glass!  It is hand carved, painted and silver gilded by Glass River Design.  It is also laminated and tempered for safety.

One of many favorite guest bedroom…so simple yet so complicated.

From unfinished Indian rosewood veneer to statue display shelves and mirror.    Big thanks to Dave at B&B rare woods in Golden, Colorado for his time guiding me through his vast selection of wood species.  

If this scene were to inspire a color palette, it would not necessarily include purple.  Instead, it may inspire a vast range of green playing wonderfully together, as reflected here.
