Daryl Carter's Washington townhouse

This is decorator & furniture designer Darryl Carter's

sleek and elegant town house in Washington, D.C.

There are plenty of amazing and fun details in

this house and I love how certain items have been

used in ways they were never intended, and how others
have been purpose made in unexpected materials...

 This is the library. Love the long bench in front of

the fireplace, and the antique desk that is anchored

in the room by that magnificent zebra skin on the floor.

The black shutters are from Allison’s Adam & Eve.

 The creame coloured reclaimed Belgian shutters

at the back are from Added Oomph!, the table

is 18th-century Regency is nicely teamed with a

1920s sofa with wooden detail.

A 19th century grand piano - how wonderful it would

be to have a proper music room! I dream..

 This dining table is made out of concrete!

I love how it has been teamed up with that crystal

chandelier and antique gilt mirror. Nice contrasts.

 An antique Italian étagère is the focal point

in the kitchen that is clearly designed for cooking

for plenty of friends - love the triple stoves!

The Van Dorn cabinet from Thomasville

is one of Carter's own designs - so lovely!

Those antique bordello doors behind the bed are

so cheeky and really make this room!

I'd love to have a large and airy bathroom like this!

 The double bathtubs were salvaged from the

Russian embassy, and those fantastic shutters

designed specially by Carter himself.

The vanity in the bathroom is an adapted 20th-century server.
