The All-American Bedroom
“Fantasy with a bit of a surrealistic quality,” is how Anthony Baratta describes his interiors. Here in the primary bedroom of this New York City apartment, a Victorian recamier brings a lively, animated presence to the foot of the bed.

The pineapple-finial bed is Baratta’s own design.
