The library in this postmodern Toronto house was designed to reflect a certain bravura and mood. The room’s finely carved capitals are complemented by a great number of noteworthy antiques, among them a circa 1790 satinwood worktable.
This library double as a dining room in a chic Park Avenue New York townhome.
Designers turned this double-height entrance hall of a Spanish Colonial Revival house in Beverly Hills into an entrance library, filling it with pots and other artifacts as well as books devoted to the visual arts. “The library sets the mood,” explains designer. “It’s a distillation of everything that goes on in the house.”
