The Solution
Designer Kristan Cunningham uses a sophisticated color palette of browns and beiges for a masculine feel. She frames the French doors with bookcases for plenty of storage space and a prime spot for Goldstein's humidor. A landing makes the entry from the terrace more stable and also provides a space for Goldstein's antique record player. Additional brass accents tie in with the existing brass to complete room's design.
