"[Mary] McDonald envisioned a clubby space with gray walls, graphite wool drapes, crisp while molding, and a handsome vintage Jansen table. Still, she says, 'I've got an 18th-century Francophile fetish.' Ceiling, meet Versailles: Gold wallpaper adds major opulence. Mementos in a single shade - emerald - introduce sophisticated punch."

" 'The space itself was inspirational,' designer Charles Allem says of a penthouse he remade for a Manhattan couple. Silver leaf adds drama to the living room's barrel-vaulted ceiling. [The silver leaf was "done by hand on a scaffolding . . . [and] took . . . three months."] Velvet draperies, hand-printed in Italy, 'never stop cascading,' he says, from the beveled-mirror rods he designed. Italian etchings and Murano glass lamp, left, Lorin Marsh. Stark carpet."

"Willem Racke and Leigh Edwards did not deviate far from the home's Mediterranean roots in this entrance hall. 'We wanted it to encourage guests to see more of the house,' Racke explains. The original woodwork and marble-tiled floor drove color direction. Gold highlights were added to the ceiling, finished to look like rich leather."
