Have you guys seen the beautiful Chicago home designed by Steven Gambrel in the latest issue of House Beautiful? The interior design of he home is full of layers of color and texture. My favorite room is the library which is painted in a custom high lacquered blue. I love this home because it has that sense of glam and comfort in a very livable way.  Also the touches of brass throughout makes me want it even more.  As a trained Architect, Gambrel’s interiors always have exceptional craftsmanship. One of his design staples is the use of contrasting color application on moldings and walls.  A technique that in his hands, always yields a great result.
