Pro Tips
Color in any palette – even greenery! – really pops in the O’Byrne Gallery. For dinner’s in the library, embrace the table lamps (which don’t move!). DAR is not necessarily a small space, but it isn’t an expansive one either. If your guest list permits, create a long table along the center with tall arrangements to take advantage of the height. Talk about maximum drama AND maximum intimacy!
