22 talented designers transform three historic downtown properties in Napa, California.

Dining Room by Julie Rootes

In the dining room, designed by Julie Rootes, custom pearlescent paint and a decorative cut-paper treatment lend dimension to the ceiling and walls. “Soft curves juxtapose the existing linear wood paneling,” Rootes says—note the disk dining table, vintage cane-back chairs, and silk rug with abacus-bead motif. Curvy pottery by Sara Paloma pops against the turquoise lacquer interior of the original built-in cabinet.  A one-of-a-kind brushed-nickel chandelier commands attention.

The designer attached knob hardware to corks to create the dazzling wine-stopper display.
