Orderly and crisp, a sense of calm is achieved with simple lines, nonpatterned fabrics, and lots of uncluttered space in this Birmingham home. The small sofa placed at the end of the bed is a continued visual from the bedding. The white brick on this fireplace update is a lovely departure from the previously dark and heavy stonework. Does it get any better than having a quiet space to sit and read next to a roaring fire?
