The Baltimore Showhouse Pallet of Fabrics

Well time is rushing ahead and we are getting all of the furniture ordered for the Baltimore Symphony Showhouse Living Room at the Ritz Carlton in the inner harbor. We have pulled a warm pallet together and are using Benjamin Moore Mystic Gold HC-37 on our walls. The fabrics range from amber toned chenilles for elegance and durability to a bit of animal pattern for a fun accent with sophitication. We love the natural linens for our neutrals in the room.

Here is the floorplan that we have developed. The open area is attached to the dining area. We have set up the Living room to have two seperate groupings. One grouping is around the fireplace and the other is an intimate grouping at the other end of the room for two couples to sit and chat and maybe enjoy a beverage or two.

The above sketch shows an oversized oil painting of a scene on the Eastern Shore as our focal point for the two loveseat grouping. The cocktail table in this group is gold leaf and Mother of Pearl. It’s precious!

Unfortunately the oriental rug that we selected is “Discontinued” This is a designer’s least favorite word in the English Language! We will have to find a replacement in the sage green and ambertones of the original selection.

I have to get in touch with my painter Wayne and set up a time when he can get in to paint the room. The scheduling is important since other people live in the same building full time. I think the organizers of the Showhouse have their hands full with all of the different sub contractors coming and going.

Follow along and we will update you on the 35th Baltimore Symphony Showhouse at the Ritz as we progress to the completion of this Living Room.
