Cachet - Casa Couture

The Washington Design Center's Fall 2008 Design House offers a finely tailored array of decorating ideas in eight spaces created by local design teams. From a kitchen by Todd Martz that pairs sleek red Wood-Mode Cabinetry with a wall of outsider art to a dining room by Michelle Pilon where an antique silk folding screen is hung as art, this house is high on style and inspiration. In the photographers study (pictured) by Pattie Gunter and Tami Hatch, a well-honed mix of sumptuous furnishings and fabrics invites contemplation, a good read- or a nap.
