'This is a wonderful room for many reasons, but I have focused specifically on the fireplace. Rarely do I see a fireplace using directional stone and one that is so bold.

The egalitarian coupling of aristocratic marble and common beadboard shows how materials can transcend expectations. This bath—a favorite of mine—is a small but persuasive primer on the bringing together of diverse design elements. briggsedwardsolomon.com.
