Each private aerie opens onto a living area with hand-distressed red oak paneling and a hand-painted ceiling, the peak of the 30-foot turret.

The sleeping loft has a king bed with a leather headboard and custom overdyed rug from ABC Carpet & Home underneath. Nearby there is a freestanding soaking tub (for the more privacy-minded, the downstairs bathroom features a rain shower).

She placed a landscape by Tom Leaver above the ornamental fireplace, while Luke Stephenson’s photographs of parakeets line the stairwell leading to the sleeping area, a nod to the birds that were often found in Victorian decoration.
