The family room’s pitched ceiling is framed with cypress beams that match the dark floors and recessed media cabinet. Pale faux-linen colored walls extending from the kitchen are a soft backdrop for a plush white Century sofa, custom-scaled wood coffee table, and blue-and-white-striped upholstered wingback chair. The downstairs study is a standout. “The entire room was built out of custom wood, including the paneling, glass doors, window frames and coffered ceiling,” says Vanagas. “We added a hickory desk, as well as the Randolph & Hein covered armchair as an accent.” A steerhide rug, custom iron lighting fixture and tufted blue velvet desk chair complete a setting designed for serious contemplation. The neutral master suite with his and hers bathrooms is designed as refuge for the homeowners. In her bathroom elegance abounds. Jerusalem stone with mosiac inserts crisscross the floor, silk fabric covers the window and vanity chair, and crystal sconces emerge from the mirrored wall. In the bedroom, the mahogany-spired bed dressed in Italian linens complements quilted silk-covered armchairs. Over the bed, magnified and cropped details of Malabar botanical drawings are framed by the squares of custom wall detail.
