Master Class: Peak Inside this Posh, Neutrals-Savvy Bed, Bath and Closet Reno

Jeff Gremillion

When an oil company honcho and his wife decided to expand and upgrade the master suite in their Memorial Drive manse, the direction to Eklektik Interiors owner and principal designer Kathy Anderson was all about compromise.

The result is a rich play of textures and a monochromatic palette of bronze and champagne hues.
