“Design is about creating rooms that effortlessly mix nostalgia with aspiration—ones that feel like home because they remind you of fond memories but also leave space to evolve and grow as you do.”

—Arianne Bellizaire on her point of view

Primary Bath

Two mirrors hang over a double sink next to a free-standing tub.

Enchanted Garden

“I envisioned a bright and airy enchanted garden in the primary bath— and for the dressing room, a moody and dramatic night underneath the stars.”

CLIMBING THE WALLS

“I love how the flowers on the York wallpaper wind up and around the vanity to frame the window. And the natural light is one of my favorite things about the space.”

ART OF THE BATH

Arianne leaned a glass mosaic panel from New Ravenna’s Gracie collection atop the vanity. A bronze sculpture, Greeting the Dawn, from Fireside Antiques overlooks the Waterworks tub.

TRICK OF THE TRADE

In both spaces, Arianne used two shades of Farrow & Ball paint on cabinetry with the darker color on the panels’ inset edge to add depth and dimension.

CONNECT THE DOTS

The designer wallpapered the backs of shelves in a contemporary Farrow & Ball pattern called “Dots” by Christopher John Rogers. “It reminded me of shadows or the way you’d see light streaming in through the window.”

STAR POWER

Connie Harris, a Louisiana based decorative painter, created the ceiling mural. “Her interpretation of a starry night took the closet over the top.”

BRINGING THE GLAM

“Every room needs a touch of bling or something that sparkles.” Arianne selected a Currey & Company chandelier of iron branches dripping with crystal pendants for the bath and chose Blumera’s brass globe of birds and flowers—inspired by a painting by the late artist Laurie Blum—for the dressing room. “And the Modern Matter hardware on the cabinetry looks like incredible pieces of jewelry.”

FASHION FORWARD

A LEE Industries bench upholstered in their “Halo Moonstone” fabric offers a perch to slip on shoes or contemplate the day’s outfit. “I see a woman who loves classical elements but is also inspired by innovation and modernity. She’d wear Chanel, Fforme, and of course, Christopher John Rogers.”

FLORAL SPOTLIGHT

To keep in step with the glamour of the room, AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio used metallic vases to hold the dramatic and velvety roses from Grace Rose Farm. The yellow and pink colors perfectly reflect the bold femininity of the space.
