There are so many things about this Monaco living room to covet. Aside from its enviable location on the French Riviera, this living room features unique pieces such as a stunning pair of antique armchairs and a throw pillow made with an antique Naxos textile. The most intriguing element of the room though is the Andrew Moore photograph of a dilapidated theater in Indiana. Contrasted with the owner's beloved antiques, it makes a strong case for preserving and celebrating the beauty of the past.
