    Soft yellow walls, blue floral toile: the colors of Smith College create a spacial framework, within which select natural elements, such as a sisal carpet and woven Roman shades, create a sense of calm and relaxation. This room delivers on the promise of every great B&B: a home away from home.

  • The Wellesley Room

    The foundation for the overall design scheme began with the application of a soft grey/green wall color, chosen to bring the feeling of the exterior landscape indoors, and to highlight the room's existing architectural features. A wood and cane radiator cover and a matching set of custom-designed bookcase doors provide additional textural and natural elements. A welcoming, tranquil bedroom suite with an understated, quietly sophisticated style.

  • The Vassar Room

    The Vassar College RoomThe Vassar College Room

    The concept for the Vassar Room was inspired by the classic gentlemen's club aesthetic prevalent in the Victorian period when the building was constructed. The wall color draws upon the rich, deep terra cotta reds of that period, and coordinates with a wonderful antique tapestry, which hung for many years in the main parlor of the Club, and now hangs over this room's fireplace.
