Relaxed Living in the Desert
The dining room, with walls the color of cherry coke, set off the hand-carved table and chairs to create intimacy that brings people together.

Relaxed Living in the Desert Challenge:
Designing a retirement home that takes advantantage of the dramatic mountain views and encourages casual living.
Solution:
Upon entering this home, one is aware of the visual impact of simple geometic forms that provide the interior drama. The mountain vista becomes the backdrop painting. Space is divided into the entry that welcomes guests, “the gathering room” for conversation and TV watching, the intimate dining room and a kitchen central to all the living activities. In each room, contrasting textures of natural stone, wood and tile are layered with metals, fabrics and subtle color. Complexity of scale and depth of detail create a unique desert home.

Dear Linda,
We love the new loveseat. The color brightens up the whole room! Thanks for all your help and wonderful ideas. We are very impressed.
