INTERIORS

Rustic Elegance
Adjacent to the main living area, yet
tucked away from the activity, the
study provides a space where a guest
can get away but still feel connected
to the others. The study was designed
to resemble a library. Its walls of cabinets are painted a warm and inviting
red and shelves are filled with books
and collectibles such as mineral specimens and iron art pieces. Some were
designed by Texas-based artist Jan
Barboglio, a favorite of the owner.
The study is on the south-facing wall
of the home and is bathed in natural

sunlight throughout the day. It is lit
in the evening by a custom two-tiered
round lattice-detailed iron chandelier.
The interior designer chose to continue
the color theme of taupe, browns and
earthy reds that is found throughout
the home. The furnishings are upholstered in a variety of textures including
ribbed chenille, velvet and suede with
zebra skin and curly lamb pillows,
an animal pelt and cashmere throws.
They all were chosen to pull the rich
colors from the antique Oriental area
rugs and to frame the round tin and
iron coffee table.
