cool, calm & creative

In the living room, artful elements include an itinerant-style painting by David Wiggins hanging behind the sofa, a flock of folk-art birds, and an antique majolica pitcher of garden flowers. The simple window treatments consist of sheer taupe-and-beige checked cotton, pleated and hung from slender iron rods placed at café height.
