Sonoma Interiors

Foyer

Guests are greeted in the foyer, which is open to the Dining Room, by the 5 foot tall “Garlands” photograph by Clifton Albergotti. The ruffled tendrils of the jellyfish spill over the figure in the bottom foreground, as they float in the inky black. The graphic formality of the black and white photo, compliments the previously painted warm and earthy colors in this room.

Guests are encouraged to remove their shoes and store them in the custom armoire. Made of Maple and Walnut it features such details as oversized finger-joints on the drawer, and the 1” reveal around the burl wood doors. This detail keeps the front clean while removing the need for handles. The little windows in the doors show individual hand paintings, their floral pattern inspired by a design the client loved. The armoire’s interior has hand applied silver leaf. The eighteenth century carved wood, winged dragon on top is from Bali.

In the hallway beyond is a Tansu designed to follow the descent of the stairs.
