Just off the landing on the second floor, the music room is situated on the front of the home and has wonderful Charleston harbor views.  Designer Maria Schendzelos felt that a neutral palette would emphasize the beauty of the architectural details in the room and make the best use of the ample natural light.  The placement of the sofa and chairs provides a welcoming seating area to visit and enjoy the music. The furniture and accessory choices are a mixture of antique and modern selections that blend well and create a mood of comfortable sophistication. Maria’s philosophy is to create spaces that are inviting, functional, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
