Straight from the catwalks of Milan, About Interiors presents Birds of a Feather… A lounge/game room experience where your senses come alive in a mix of classic contemporary furnishings and vintage originals. Upon entry, a cobalt blue wall wraps the room like a vibrant satin sash against clean, crisp white. A keen eye may glimpse playful white feathers, delicately painted on the floor beneath a lush shag area rug. Imagine drinks chilling to perfection atop the Oval Inlay Bar as you slip into a plush Barbara Barry original. At the end of a long workweek, all you need is this chair and the soothing sounds of Charlie Parker. Vintage tufted chairs and a mirrored game table set the stage for intense, but friendly games of chess, while the Bird’s Nest Chandelier floats overhead. The definition of haute couture, this ethereal pendant shines in a brilliant display of light and feathers.

Share this room with friends or lounge in luxurious solitude in the Victoria Hagan Wing Chair. Indulge in the beauty of custom design at every turn. A precocious mannequin, in a feathered corset dress, poses in front of radiant pearlized walls, while the Duca mirror and Swarovski lamps sparkle atop the Macassar console.

Whether you are in the mood for a fete with friends or a siesta in solitude, there is no denying that luxury, feathers and fashion abound in this timeless and contemporary lounge/game room.

In 1994, H.

About Interiors is a revolutionary, full service design center that is committed to transforming spaces and enriching lives.  This Beltsville, MD Company provides a full range of products and services that enable consumers to live and work in aesthetically beautiful and ergonomically functional spaces.  Serving the Continental United States and the Caribbean, About Interiors specializes in commercial, hospitality, and residential design and offers consultation services and quality retail furnishings.  In 2007, Dawn added sustainable furniture to her repertoire and is quickly becoming one of Washington’s best resources for beautiful and affordable eco-friendly furnishings.

H.

In the summer of 2007, HP=HF garnered local media attention for its work on the Shepard’s Cove Homeless Shelter Revitalization Project. 

Giving back to the community has always been a priority for Dawn.  She has dedicated her life and work to improving the lives of others.  Before discovering her passion for interior design, Dawn received a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and served as Director of mental health programs in the United States and the US Virgin Islands.  Since 1994, she has been integrating her varied skills to create spaces that speak to her clients’ interior design needs.
