"Come to the dark side . . . "

Good morning,

Love this dark, dramatic New York residence designed by the brilliant Robert Passal.  Love the dark wall treatment.  Love the artwork.  Love the architectural details.  And who doesn't love a chocolate brown button-tufted banquette ?

I've been working madly getting my place ready for next Wednesday's shoot, and this has truly been inspiring.  

Quirky, elegant, fabulous.  Those dogs on the fireplace mantel are flawless.

There is such an inherent drama in spaces with darker wall treatments.  It gives the light  greater contrast.

and some beautiful details from the dining room.  Love the table service and the flowers are perfect.
