This fantastic green room in New York Social Diary caught my eye and stole my heart. Home to architects Bill Brockschmidt and Richard Dragisic, the enchanting apartment features an impressive array of decorative objects from around the globe. In particular I find myself drawn to the hand printed wallpaper found in the drop front desk (what a colorful surprise!) and the fantastically styled table above. The architects’ fearless sense of color is evident from the warm natural rug to the tip top of the turquoise chandelier — oh to live in a jewel box!

First of all – this room is magical and I should like to spend many hours in it!
ALSO – LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look on the blog! I’ve been away from blog world for a bit and I was so excited to come back to this! Neo-Trad just keeps getting better! :)
this room is simply amazing – from the roman busts to the vase of poppies – it’s all just perfect* XXO
Kate and Jane — Glad you ladies are equally enthused. My jaw dropped when I first spotted it—the colors!!!! xo
I love the desk…. amazing…..
Oh I’m dying for a secretary and theirs, including that whole apartment, is to die for!!

Thanks Roxy! Perhaps now we’ll see a trend of Neo-Trads with wallpapered desks and such! xo katie
I just died and went to heaven.
I want to see the rest of this place! This room is magical! I’m also really loving your new layout! xoxo
That paint on those walls is AMAZING! Such a bold choice and yet so fantastic in application!

Sylvie — “Army of books” this is why I love you! xo
green room reminds me of the place in which we would prepare before we went to preform back in high school.. love this room as a kind of ‘preparation’ room… for what, i don’t know!
I would never think to paint a room that color but it is fabulous!!! that is a room I wold love to spend time in…if only I was that brave with my decorating!!
I love these colors together – they seem so “right” at this point in time!!
I think I would spend hours in this room, just looking at all the little details. I can imagine someone calling me for supper and just being completely oblivious because I was so engrossed. It’s such a beautiful room.
This room is awesome … so much detail to look at it! I love the color of the walls too. Thanks for stopping by my blog … it led me your way :)
Overall look is modern, yet upon closer inspection, it retains a homey and somewhat traditional feeling. I love it!
Hi Kate,
I saw this apartment on a house tour last fall. It is cool but surprisingly tiny.
I think the wallpaper is from Adelphi. Here is a link to my post about the apartment, with more pictures. http://decorartsnow.com/2009/10/28/october-29-2009-house-tour-mania/
Best,
