" We're on the second floor landing our friend Carolyn Griffith an interior designer has accessorized and furnished all the rooms up here including the landing but let's start off in this bedroom. Which we've visited a couple of weeks ago when the gold was being applied to walls. And here she's put in a suite of bedroom furniture from Thomas though. Which I believe the line is called Martinique and has that real substantial. Look of nineteenth century furniture I'm told it's inspired by the Louis Philippe. Designs. But the dark woods really work nicely with this -- help to control it. And then of course the bed itself is what they call a sleigh bed with a nice kind of curved finish to it. Very very handsome then she's put in lots of flowery pastels and good colors that contrast with the gulf. In the master bath in here we've got an interesting kind of in addition is that work is very spare in there but she's got the same kind of dainty. Towels and then a heavy object like that silver box from India what I like about this -- is that the tile floor it's a ceramic tile but it has the look. Of old French limestone pavers. And then throughout the room all the windows are treated -- these great. Shutters from our friends here withers industries. And these are all operable and they really make a statement because it's such a southern thing I think to have these beautiful shutters. The hall shows a nice collection kind of assembled pieces that might have been inherited in a house. And old chest of drawers a beautiful operative woodpeckers. A new glass bowl. Gorgeous antique. I don't know if they're Georgian or Chippendale but they look like they could be southern or Irish are going to find out there's beautiful chairs. Paired with a contemporary reproduction against Thomas -- In this bedroom we actually. How. A story this like it's a little den it's a little home office both of the small bedrooms up here have been furnished as if there were going to be used for office space and again you've got an interesting focal point this piece of furniture that's a semi circle.

Well down the hall there's another bedroom again we'll look at that in a second and a full bathroom here which is done in -- grave. Marble tile floor with a gray fixtures from Kohler and that's terrific. One piece acrylic shower. Which comes with all these shiny brass fittings and what I like about this -- is this the back wall has this contoured shape. So that you can just kind of slide back in their have a hot shower. Then opposite we've got a double lavatory vanity and again got great. Paired with a nice granite shiny brass and then we've got the mahogany in the cabinet all -- elegant and it's very reminiscent of nineteenth century. Kind of designs and listen in here. And this room is set up almost like a little hideout where you go relax take a nap on the shares long. Read a book or whatever hide and she's chosen lots of items accessories and furniture and fabrics and everything to make you feel like you're gonna garden room the pattern the leaves. Even the accessory tables like this when it's kind of like a magazine rack it's -- it's new it's a reproduction of of bamboo furniture but it really works nicely in this room and then this. This kind of really neat is if you do want to work here this is. I stand up desk its its its its its its its its its its its its its its."
