A neoclassical home by Tara Shaw

I don't know if it's that I'm now in my godforsaken 40's and life as I knew it will never be the same, but I never really thought much about "traditional" style decor such as this neoclassical home designed by New Orleans based Tara Shaw.

Not sure where I came up with that, but it's been a helluva long week and I just want to sink into every piece of furniture in these photos and take the most epic nap. Rochester residence designed by Illinois-based Kate Marker Interiors.
