Enter an enchanted
cottage
An invitation into the “Cottage Rhapsody”, with its parade of dancing and playing animals, entice one to twirl on an exquisitely painted floor of twig treillage, flowers and undulating ribbon. A perfect place to land for a grown-up Goldilocks!
A regal Old World residence
Intricate ornament in a European motif enhance a majestic, vaulted ceiling and stately arches in this Mediterranean mansion. No detail was spared in this exquisite design, achieved from authentic decorative archives.
Ceiling as
centerpiece
A coffered ceiling, beams and cabinetry invite rustic Old World elegance in a Mediterranean motif. Inspired by medieval heraldry, this ceiling commands one to “look up!”
