artwork, accent pillows, and tables. Glass, see
through metal tables as well as slim rimmed art
frames, glassware, and furniture all add a touch
of transparency. “The key is to use a bit of the
same colour in various parts of the space. When
viewed as a whole the hits of colour have impact
adding to the layered look.”
The dining area, to the left of the foyer and next
to the living room, is a light sketch of elegance.
The rose motif, seen throughout the rooms, as well
as round glass shapes are accompanied by shades
of oyster, pearl, and pewter to which stripes offer
a graphic counterpoise. “We wanted the room to
look like a winter garden offset by the warm teak
dining room table and crisp charcoal dining room
chairs,” comments Rosaci.
In the flirtatious bedroom the ‘brocade’ of the
wallpaper and the toile of the bed’s coverlet echo
the dining room’s clean interpretation of classic
motifs. Here white side tables and mirrors add
cool sophistication to balance the sugared pale
pastels. “I love a space that incorporates whimsical
elements and are eclectic in nature. The result
is a built-up and layered collection of elements
that truly make the space.” The Judy form, jewelry,
mirrored box, and baroque framed photos add
eccentric embellishment to the room’s stripes,
squar es, and rectangles.
“I adored creating this space. It is a true reflection
of my grandmother’s youthful spirit and style all
the while being practical and functional for her
needs.”
