A contemporary rug, designed by Maine native Angela Adams, inspired furnishings and accessories in the Tower room.

A cozy chaise, upholstered in a firefly fabric, provides a perch for reading and reflection. A eco-friendly floor lamp, fashioned from paper mache with a charmeuse shade, offers light during evening hours.

A faux-bois table, painted with low-VOC paint, serves as a perch for reading material. A Peruvian alpaca throw is close at hand should evenings turn chilly.

A steel-plated, sawhorse-style desk topped with glass offers an opportunity to concentrate on work. “I couldn’t do another big wooden desk. The room would have been overpowered. I wanted it to feel light and airy up there,” says interior designer Linda Woodrum.
