I love this room. The red, the mix of patterns, styles, textures. The layering is amazing, the room so lush. If you have a little time this long weekend then spend a little savouring the beauty of Betsy Burnham’s amazing rooms. Even if you’ve been there before, it’s worth another look. Beautiful! Inspiring!
