A look back at a stunning master suite by Kelly Johnson Design, as featured in the KDR spotlight in this month’s Sophisticated Living.
This 1917 Georgian Revival had been a designer show house at one point, and as a result the interior was a mishmash of different aesthetics, materials, and finishes which had little to do with each other, much less the home’s original design.
