Formal dining is an 18th century experience, a full beamed, recessed ceiling, crown moulding, paneled walls and a Mayan walnut floor in herringbone design. Casual dining, however, has an outdoor garden theme, Mexican tile flooring, one wall surfaced in exterior treatment with a wisteria-bedecked trellis system. Back to the Tudors in the leather room with its rich, dark, diagonal paneling. Here, used hemlock finishes the floor, raised from concrete to sound hollow like an Elizabethan castle keep. Casual bedroom has a British Colonial ambience, a safari theme, the windows shuttered.
Motion boasts an interesting wall treatment in variegated stone.
The home office has a high-tech look with contemporary carpeting and cable stretched as grid work creating a dropped ceiling effect. Wicker is housed in a tropical paradise, rattan on the ceiling, plantation shutters and a slate floor. Stan's favorite setting is the factory loft. It has elements of restoration architecture, real windows that face out the front of the store, brick veneered walls with the plaster showing through here and there and an old tin-treated fire door with counter balance. A perfect setting for transitional upholstery.
