The extravagant Chelsea loft of Thomas Hays and Marlene Wallace highlights the travels and bank account of investment-banker-turned-designer Mr. Hays. The furnishings are a melting pot of exotic locales: Thailand, China, India, Morocco, Italy, Afghanistan, France, Spain, and Tibet.

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! It's relaxed, elegant and eclectic, I feel like I could take my shoes off and curl up on the sofa.
