{freestanding} architectural details

A home doesn't have to have a storied history or crown moldings to have elegant architectural details. These details can be added in a creative manner by freestanding elements such a a leaning mantle as the focal point of a dining room...

...or Corinthian columns flanking a couch.

These unexpected touches add an elegant flair to these otherwise eclectic spaces.

mix and match style

I saw a glimpse of the home of Temple St. Clair Carr in the portfolio of photographer Eric Piasecki and was very intrigued by the warm mix of modern, ethnic and traditional decor. I was beyond thrilled to come across a more extensive tour of this jewelry designers home in the book So Chic by the editors of Elle Decor.
