The iconic statue of Columbus rises more than 75 feet atop a granite column in Manhattan's Columbus Circle. Designed by Italian sculptor Gaetano Russo in 1892, the statue was commissioned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s first voyage to the Americas.
What do you get when you climb the 6 flights of stairs to view this art installation? A stylish, modern living room featuring casual groupings of sofas, chairs and coffee tables and modern amenities like a generous flat screen tv. Oh yes, and a 13 foot statue of Columbus himself, standing right in the middle of the room. He seems to fit right into the room, with its cheeky Toile wallpaper inspired by Nishi's memories of popular American culture and well stocked bookshelf.
Mickey, Marilyn and Elvis--love this toile!

I looked closely at that wallpaper and saw Elvis and Micky Mouse!!! So fun....:)
I did a double-take on that room with the statue - what an interesting idea and take on the subject. The toile wallpaper is just fabulous and I can feel one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments coming on ;-)
Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it and am happy you enjoyed my "home fragrance" post. Have a great week xo
Congrats to the winner of the book! I'm putting this on my Christmas wish list for sure! I can't say how I'd decorate this room…it would be a wonderful challenge and a great experience, I'm sure! I really want to get back into Showhouse decorating, etc…it really does "challenge" you to get out of your comfort zone…FYI…I did reference you in my post for my Wednesday's What If's tomorrow…hope that's ok!!! your pics are always incredible! Hope you are doing well and enjoying this wonderful Christmas season!
