ASID Showcase Home Library Powder Room |

| Coming off the library, the soft color pallet lightens and creates an open feeling in this space. This color selection is carried through in a hand-painted mural depicting an African safari inspired by the owner's love of animals. The cabinetry was designed to provide storage around the tank in a formerly nonfunctional space. Due to the offset placement of the window, it seemed necessary to balance the wall by redesigning the cabinetry surrounding the sink. Empire-style cabinets tie in with the formality of the library and an existing French table and chairs. The brass lions, crowns, laurel wreaths, and eagles on the hardware were inspired by both the mural and the Empire style. Painted sconces blend in with the hand- painted wall and amend the awkward placement of the existing lights. An oriental area rug enhances the hardwoods. | ||
