Hollywood Makeover

In the living room, we dressed the ceiling with a plaster fretwork and detailed the fireplace surround and mantel in a manner inspired by the Chateau de Groussay near Paris. A circular convex mirror and small ledges that display 18th-19th century Delft jars are incorporated into ornate paneling above the mantel. Next, Corrigan added raised panels on the living room walls and had them painted in subtly varied shades of cream to make the room feel more substantial. It also looks authentic and original. These wonderful layers and extensive detailing make the house feel like a jewel box. Curvaceous Avery Boardman sofas face an Asian influenced coffee table. Photo by Michael McCreary
