Dwelling On the Past.

Designer Aldous Bertram has transformed a former ballroom in Charleston into his own unique living space. The room retains its neoclassical character with recessed paneling and a pressed-tin ceiling. Bertram's decorative style combines saturated colors, dynamic patterns, and Georgian furniture, including a Chinese Chippendale-style secretary.

The result is a charming and eclectic space that reflects Bertram's English sensibility and ability to make magic out of the mundane. [Extracted from the article]
