The Ribbon

King Bed Room with a writing desk and lounge seating sectional sofa with a private bathroom

The Ribbon is wrapped in dove-hued archival wallpaper that hails from the early 19th century, its pale gray tones brushed with hints of blush, like feathers on a bird’s wing. The third-floor room features a matching ruffle-skirted sectional, as well as a four-poster king-sized bed, custom-dyed rug, and upholstered coffee table. This daintily-appointed room is inspired by “well dressing”— an annual Barrow’s Green ritual where wells and other water sources are decorated with flowers. Lately, the designs—exquisite, elaborate arrangements of petals, small seeds, and peat moss in the shape of ribbons—have been conceived of by Ursula Lumley. As a young woman, Ms. Lumley received a fellowship to study art in London—but returned to Barrow’s Green not a year later, refusing to speak of her time in the city and a rumored annulled marriage.
