New additions to the Library!

The library is looking magnificent with the addition of a classic mid-century Saarinen table, a quartet of chic 1960’s lucite chairs & a unique French chandelier inspired by the sinuous line drawings of Jean Cocteau. The sunlight streaming in through the window accents beautifully the shades by Hunter Douglas & window treatment by Restoration Hardware.
