palette. The burgundy accent wall color is inspired from

important part of the Robert Adam style and this is a fabulous
way for incorporating the spirit of Napa. The furniture used will
be by Robert Adam s.a the Georgian Chippendale Window Seat,
Robert Adam, chair, made by Thomas Chippendale, and the
Adam Pier Table.
