Mary chose a custom white wall unit
in their living room, noting that too much
heavy wood can drain the light from a room.
Blending rustic accents with linen fabrics
and creamy rugs makes the space feel serene
and eclectic.
" Actually, it's the exact definition of eclectic, "
Mary said, smiling.
In their dining room, the couple have
space to seat 20, which was important because
they like to entertain guests.
" John built an extension for this table, "
Mary said. The wall behind the table boasts
salvaged bricks from buildings in New York,
and a window seat exquisitely framed.
" We had a support wall built to hold the
heavy brick, " Mary said. " And the wood
came from an old bed frame. John built a
platform to give it more height. "
Their cat has claimed the cozy nook,
she explains, as he snuggles up for an afternoon
nap.
A pair of glass doors open to outdoor
seating on the lanai, where a double-sided
fireplace peeks at the glinting pool.
Above: A pair of 400-year-old shutters from Beijing,
museum mounted in the living room.
Below: A redwood burl slab coffee
table John found in California.
I SAW IT IN A
S TORE IN SAUSALITO ,
