A gray ombré carpet from Jaipur Rugs and cozy bedding, charming rattan stools, and a stylish shagreen chest from Eclectic Home add lovely color and texture. In the children's room, the client wanted to sleep the maximum, so Penny made use of the vertical space of the steeply pitched roof. Bunk beds from Room & Board featuring a twin at the top and full at the bottom with a hidden trundle beneath was a smart solution. There's still lots of room to play.

For subtle pattern and additional warmth, a textured horizontal striped wallcovering runs counter to

the oak beadboard ceiling, a rich turquoise rug is layered over carpeting, and adorable woven poufs are scattered here and there. Dramatic art by Dawn DeDeaux from the Arthur Roger Gallery delivers a definite wow moment. It's futuristic, substantial, densely pigmented, and uber-cool all at once, making this such a fantastic placement. The guest cottage is a fabulous example of a very small space with enormous style.

A graphic ceramic tile by Stacy Garcia acts as the 'art' for the space and the see-through lighting brings a sense of openness." A tidy guest room features an oversized chandelier made from reclaimed driftwood and a vintage throw from Sunday Shop.
