This space is a little nook in an otherwise light filled high rise condo on the 21st floor of a beautiful modern building named The Ovation. My mission was to create a cozy little space that one could retreat to when in need of a bit of an escape. I love multi purpose rooms and purposely used a 30" high table (a vintage Mastercraft table from the 70's) floating in front of the Michael Vanderbyl sofa so the space could not only be used as a library but also for an intimate dinner from time to time. There is a global feel and just the slightest reference to the "New Victorian" aesthetic with the use of brass components, the vintage factory stool and collection of natural curiosities used throughout.
All of the pieces I used are from independently owned, Tampa Bay businesses, including Doxa Home as well as several boutiques, vintage shops and antique stores. I did not use any COM and EVERY item used was "As Is" and not one piece custom ordered, with the exception of the hand painted damask pattern on the walls which were graciously done by Splat Paint. We are not located in a major metropolitan area however we do have several charming shops and I wanted to highlight the local businesses we do have here and what could be done with in stock inventory.
