Inspirational Homes
Dodie Rosenkrans Venice Palace Italy, renovated by Tony Duquette. Coral and gold, crystals and antiques. Pure, magical, indulgent decadence.
It is over the top, it is cluttered, it has fantasy elements; a stroll through here and you may think that you have entered a strange coral infused Alice in Wonderland. It’s like you took some LSD and the world exploded around you in gold, turquoise, red and purple, with excessive ornamentation, frills and bows. Renaissance on steroids, please enjoy!
