tables seemingly defy gravity with their slim outlines and provide
function while reproducing light. “When mixing patterns make sure
the pattern is different in size and proportion. It’s the successful way
to do layers,” Isabelle advises.
Isabelle wanted a “calm” space for the master bedroom. Reflective
surfaces introduce light. Gold in the draperies and lamps highlight the
room’s softly spoken elegance. Lamps with large shades and an “open
base” complement the room’s proportions without being “heavy,”
Isabelle observes. The ensuite sparkles with glass and marble whereas
the guest bathroom is dressed in vintage colours and fixtures. The
Boba’s love of travel is seen in their powder room. “I wanted to be
taken to another world—the room is inspired by the Hôtel Costes in
Paris. I wanted an enchanted feel,” Isabelle says.
“Friends and family love it—people sense it when it intrinsically feels
good. My husband is really happy with it,” Isabelle remarks.
“I’m glad it’s done. It’s hard work, but a fun process. It takes patience,”
Isabelle states. “It felt a little like Christmas when it was done.”
