Country house library/ den
Country barn home. The previous owner had this library painted completely in rusty orange with white trim (aack!). I painted the trim + the built-in bookcase in a high-gloss espresso, the walls + upper moldings in a deep vanilla. What to do with your husband's crimson velvet sofa?! Put it in a room where it can proudly stand alone and make the rest of the room colorfully exotic. Using a sarong on the sofa achieves this effect and pulls the other colors together. Safavieh rug. The coffee and sofa tables were left behind by the previous owner.
