"The library BEFORE the transformation. Updating a drab, dated room without sacrificing any historic details (or painting any walls) can be a challenge. Here, in the San Francisco Decorator Showcase, designer Geoffrey DeSousa transformed a traditional library into a modern, restful space while preserving the home&amp;#039;s existing wood paneling and ceiling, and renters looking to make a high-impact change could learn from his paint trick. The new neutral library features chairs from Dmitriy &amp;amp;amp; Co., a table by Caste Design, and a glass light fixture by Mattaliano. Hand painted books from Books by the Foot create a light backdrop and contrast with the rooms dark wood. The library AFTER the transformation.
