Peeling paint hung from the ceilings like half-punched chads. But Turner saw beyond that. Turner started by replastering walls, replacing windows and redoing floors. He brightened up the bathroom and kitchen with sky-blue glass tiles on the floors and walls. The ceiling, before.
Southern hospitality calls for a well-stocked bar.
The subtle play of colors gives the apartment its warmth. The living room walls and the background on the bamboo wallpaper are a light blue, while the bedroom is a pale apple green. Ever attentive to detail, Turner even chose his paint carefully. There is more pigment in the paint, so the color is not flat. The apartment is all floor-lit, and a large white lamp by sculptor Isamu Noguchi accents the living room.
