They were<br />impossibly stylish and full of excitement, with a bit of scandal, of course.<br />So I designed this room for them; a place for late-night parties with rock<br />royalty and the jet-set. I wanted the room to be just like Mick and Bianca:<br />luxe and decadent, but with a rock 'n roll edge.”<br />The star of the room is the dramatic painted floor, which serves as a rich<br />canvas for the room’s artful mix of luxurious textures, details and lines.<br />Inspired by the iconic paintings of Cy Twombly, the floor was<br />hand-painted in exuberant brushstrokes by decorative painting firm,<br />Stancil Studios.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Please visit the <a href="http://decoratorshowcase.org/" target="_blank">showcase now through May 27th</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
