LUXURY LIVING , Fall 2004 Like a gentleman, this powder room evokes strength and refinement with a medley of delicate and strong materials. A polished nickel plated mesh lays over the part of the satin-like sheen of the mahogany vanity. A Tasmanian urn holds delicate roses. Soft, tomato-red silk upholstered walls tone down the austerity of a nautilus fossil. The combination of these contrasting elements creates a gorgeous room that appeals to everyone, which is just what the homeowner Paul Courchene wanted. “It's important for my home to showcase quality throughout because it says a lot about my work,” says Courchene, a custom high-end home builder. The sheer beauty of this powder room speaks volumes.
