Stacey P. Walker celebrated her 50th birthday in Ireland and documented some of the most memorable locations she visited, including the Library of Trinity College in Dublin. The library features a stunning barrel vaulted ceiling and houses rare books. Stacey also saw the intricate exterior and interior of The Bank on College Green in Dublin, which has a stained glass ceiling and mosaic tiles. Additionally, she visited the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, which featured uniquely crafted furniture pieces.
2. At Marilyn H. Rose Interiors, we like to celebrate in style. And if you
ask us, there’s nothing better than a destination celebration! Our very
own Stacey P. Walker just turned fifty (and fabulous) in the beautiful
country of Ireland! And lucky for us, she documented her trip with
some of the most inspiring pics! Here’s a look at some of her most
memorable moments …
The Library of Trinity College, Dublin:

4. “Stunning” doesn’t even begin to describe this space! Libraries are one of
our favorite rooms to design when it comes to our Interior Design Long
Island and Hamptons Interior Design projects. And The Long Room in
the Library of Trinity College undoubtedly sparks our creativity and
imagination for future designs! It is not only the largest library in Ireland,
but happens to be where you can find the famous “Book of Kells”. The
Long Room houses 200,000 of the library’s oldest books, and is lined
with 14 marble busts of philosophers, writers, and men who have
supported Trinity College.
The beautiful barrel vaulted ceiling was added in 1860 to hold additional
books when the original shelves of The Long Room became full. A
distinctive ceiling elevates any space, adding extra glamour and drama to
a room! Here are some ways in which we incorporated arches into past
projects!

7. The Bank on College Green, Dublin:
Keeping in line with the beautiful architecture of Ireland is the intricate
and detailed design of The Bank on College Green. The Bank’s exterior
is Franco-Scottish, and is one of Dublin’s unique and rare examples of
Scottish sandstone. The extraordinary interior is comprised of a stained
glass ceiling, mosaic tiled floors, and beautifully hand-carved
plasterwork and cornicing.

9. We love to incorporate mosaic tiles in our Interior Design Long
Island NY design projects. The patterns, colors, and designs of
mosaics allow us to add creativity and versatility to a project. A fresh
and fun way to personalize any design! Here’s a look at previous
projects utilizing mosaic tiles:
Jameson Distillery, Midleton:
When in Ireland! One of our favorite things about design is the ability
to exercise our creativity and think outside the box. We love to take the
ordinary and make it extraordinary, and the Jameson Distillery in
Midleton did just that! The home of Jameson Irish Whiskey, this
beautiful building is filled with “barrels” of fun and furniture pieces
created from some unique objects!
10. There is so much more we could share, but we hope you enjoyed this
introduction into some of Ireland’s most amazing interiors and
architecture! Wishing our Stacey the happiest of birthdays! 50 never
felt so fun!
