Interiors: Moments at the Cathedral Antiques Show House

Moments may be short-lived but they certainly can be memorable. Moments are also the foundation of great interior design photography. Perfectly styled and cleverly cropped, each vignette can tell its own story. Here are four such moments from the 2012 Cathedral Antiques Show Inspiration House. Which is your favorite?

1. Crisp and clean in the living room

"I chose the palette—grounded by walls in a pure, bright white—to place emphasis on the forms of the individual elements of the room, as well as the composition and utilization of the space." - Rick Anthony Bonner, Bonner, LLC

2. Mulberry, inkblots and high shine in the library

"I love the unexpected, and I wanted to take your typical library and turn it on its head. It’s okay to push the envelope and go a bit modern in a traditional space." - Lindsey Coral Harper, Lindsey Coral Harper Interiors

3. Starbursts and velvet in the Lady’s Retreat

"I wanted [visitors] to appreciate the attention to detail, from the framed antique jade pieces to the custom drape tables to the layering of textures in the fabrics and trims on the upholstery and pillows." - Elisabeth Jordan, Elisabeth Jordan Interiors

4. Modern serenity in the spa-like master bath

"The materials were chosen for their clean, modern lines—in shades of soft white, gray and espresso—as well as for their purity, softness, contrast and subtle drama." - Jenny Rothman, Designer, Hammersmith
