"From the moment you step past the stately columns of this Colonial Revival historic beauty, it’s clear that you’re in a local hotspot. Forget minimalism; here, the vibe is a riot of textures, patterns, and colors. Think canopy beds with tiger-striped fabric and red-and-blue striped textiles to match the upholstered headboards. Snake-shaped reading lamps twirl up bed posts flanked by opaque palm leaf sconces.Then, there’s the floor lamp with a fringed, cheetah-print lampshade and the camo-meets-houndstooth upholstered footstools. Even the toilets are hand-painted rococo thrones, in retro bathrooms with black-and-white tiled showers. None of this should work, but somehow it does, with the complimentary colors and luxe textures sparking excitement, not headaches. The vibe feels lush and layered, almost like it was added to over time by a favorite great aunt who watches Some Like It Hot every night while clutching an ice-cold martini." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
