In the bedroom, Bridges created an opulent retreat of lush fabrics, rich colors and beautiful accessories. The focal point of the room is a tester bed draped with 100 yards of gold damask and topped with a pair of acorn finials. Designed by Bridges, it took just two days to build, but his seamstress, Hayda Barrios, spent a full year creating its elaborate draping. Over the tufted headboard is a convex Empire mirror. Personal touches are sprinkled throughout the room, including Bridges' collection of frogs atop the mantel and an assortment of antique bronze frames on a bedside table.
Gold really goes well with it.
Still in progress is the apartment's dining room, which Bridges plans to use as a central gathering spot for entertaining. I live my life the way I decorate. I love glamour. 2000, Gambit Communications, Inc.
