Books: SOLIS BETANCOURT {essential elegance}
July 14, 2011
In the mood for a little
romantic lovely?
This home in
Washington's Rock Creek Park
is one of my all time favorites!
Remember it in Traditional Home a few years back?
Designed by
S O L I S B E T A N C O U R T
it has an overall color scheme of
muted creams and taupes
punctuated with hints of
steely blue and amethyst.
This kitchen design, and the incredible cabinetry
and open shelves just takes my breath away.
You'll find this home in
by Dana Demange
offered by the Monacelli Press.
Linen upholstered club chairs,
an incredible concrete fireplace,
and a collection of French and Asian antiques
accent this incredibly airy room.
Most of the photography in the book is by
Marcos Galvany.
Designers Jose Solis and Paul Sherrill
strive for balance between:
formal and informal,
traditional and contemporary
while keeping
comfort and livability
in check.
The look is subtle,
understated...
and deliciously timeless.
Peace to you right where you are.
