Sophisticated Victorian Update

Library - "Before".  Queen Anne/Victorian Farmhouse - St. Paul, Minnesota

Library - "After".  Added charcoal sisal rug.  Removed floral upholstered chairs and added a British Colonial folding table with glass top - great for books or an occasional dinner - fireside.  Rearranged books in book cases.  Gathered art from throughout the house and composed an eclectic assemble on the mantel.  Added black pillows and wrought iron chair for texture and material interest.
