The master bedroom was small, white and boring. The huge fan/light dwarfed the room.
Artists and designers transformed the room into a “Crossroads to Culture” sitting room with Moroccan, Indian and Indonesian influences.

• Red Venetian plaster walls add drama
Moroccan pattern applied to floor and ceiling.
Crackled plaster with gold wax on 2 walls.
Hand-grained doors and molding simulate rare, expensive woods.
A dramatic mural of an Indian woman sitting in a window by 4 master artists.
Decorative cording and beads in place of crown molding.
Silk paint in closet.
Decorative grates and fabrics complete the look.

These are just some of the many transformations done by the artists.
