Last Call

Last call - the DC Design House closes this Sunday May 13th. This beautiful room wrapped in a warm gray (*think it's Farrow & Ball Hardwick White) was designed by Annette Hannon. Originally an interior room with little architectural presence, Annette added in coffered ceilings and moldings above the fireplace mantel to take the eye up. Although these ceilings are just a bit over 8 ft, they feel much higher. A hand-painted screen rests on the sofa console and provides an intimate environment around the fireplace seating.

Beautiful drapes with trim edging the top.

One of my favorite features was the closet converted for bar use. Annette designed the custom wood work detailing on the doors. Wish I had a pic of the interior as it was papered in Farrow & Ball Lotus Leaf! (Photograph above by Angie Seckinger)
Moving past the expected intaglio, Annette framed a series of stamps. Great DIY idea!
