MEREDITH ELLIS MEREDITH ELLIS DESIGN DALLAS, HOUSTON ROOM: The Admiral's Chamber INSPIRATION: "The Admiral's Chamber is designed as a guest bedroom that provides an inviting reprieve for a weary distinguished traveler. My inspiration began with the selection of Gracie's Nantucket Harbor wallpaper for the bath, which serves as a launching point to a seaside harbor in the Northeast. Having visited Mount Vernon a few years back, I found the vibrant colors of the parlor and dining room so memorable that I wanted a color that would be equally memorable for my space. Providence Blue by Benjamin Moore covers the ceiling, trim, and millwork and provides an immense amount of depth and interest without being overbearing. An ikat fabric, Isla Indigo by Leah O'Connell Textiles, covers the walls and is used as a drapery and bed canopy. My desire is for the room to be a visual feast for all who enter, drawing them in to uncover the layers and stories that lie within, as if it had been there for decades." — Meredith Ellis PHOTOGRAPHY NATHAN SCHROEDER For Resources, see page 116 84
