I know that you, my lovely friends, may have seen this room before but I loved it so much that I thought it would be only right to post about it. In fact this was my favorite room in the entire Kips Bay Decorator’s Show House 2011. Kemble Interiors converted this pine-paneled room into a sophisticated, feminine library with magnificent details. The color scheme is perfectly harmonious making nothing stand out by itself, rather make the whole room balanced and harmonious. The verre églomisé ceiling depicting a Chinoiserie scenery, a creation of Miriam Ellner, helps draw the eyes towards the ceiling and emphasize the height of the room. My favorite part is the selection and placement of furniture, especially the pink tete-a-tete in front of the floor to ceiling windows and the very chic selection of side and cocktail tables. To brighten up the wooden paneling Kemble Interiors covered the bookcases with white faux leather and lucite shelves. The only thing in this room that I find a little bit odd is the fact that the sconces are mounted right into the art above the fireplace. Other than that I could seriously move in tomorrow and not change a thing.

That ceiling is incredible and I would love to find a desk like that – that didn't cost the same as a small car.
