| 2003 Lake Forest Showcase House and Gardens | |
Cool blues mix with accents of black in a solarium at the 2003 Lake Forest Showcase. It's a room that beckons visitors to sit and enjoy the view. Pretty awnings were installed indoors to curve over French doors leading to the South patios and gardens.

Brunschwig & Fils fabrics and furnishings fill the room with color and pattern, while blue and white Chinese export porcelain are traditional accessories that pop with refined color.

Solarium
Awnings mounted indoors give the solarium the feel of a garden patio, while the symmetry of the windows and furnishings add elegance and formality.

Solarium Ceiling
Sky blue on the vaulted ceiling gets a lift from decoratively painted scrollwork.

Tromp L'Oeil
The center coffee table was painted to look like a handful of flowers was casually laid on top.

Solarium Faux Mantle
What looks like a mantle or elaborate display shelf is actually an elegantly designed radiator cover.
