The boys can climb the walls and swing from the ceiling in this playroom designed for indoor activity. When the toys are removed it can easily convert to the party barn with two sets of mahogany double doors that open out onto a patio in the front of the house and a poolside deck on the waterside.

A modern glass fireplace an Ortal Space Creator 120 organically separates this sunken den and dining room. A set of three glazed vases in shades of amber, chartreuse and olive stand on the cream concrete hearth. Wide flagstone steps capped with oak slabs lead the way to the dining room. The base of the espresso stained dining table is accented with zebra wood and rests on an ombre rug in shades of soft green and orange. The table’s centerpiece is a hammered pot filled with greenery. Hanging above the table is a striking modern light fixture with glass globes. The ivory walls and ceiling are punctuated with warm, honey stained alder trim. Orange piping against a tone on tone chocolate fabric covers the dining chairs paying homage to the warm tones of the stained oak floor. The ebony chair legs coordinate with the black of the baby grand piano which stands at the ready for anyone eager to play the room a tune.

Inspiration for a country bedroom in San Francisco with brown walls and no fireplace.

Photography by Jeffrey Totaro. Walls are salvaged from an art gallery in Center City Philadelphia. It was realized once the wood was removed from the gallery that it had already been salvaged once before, so this is the wood’s third home. The homeowners wanted a white-washed finish to brighten the space. The floor is re-sawn from salvaged heart pine beams. The roof rafters are salvaged from a former church in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia that is currently being developed into condominiums. The kitchen table is a Henredon drop leaf table, purchased at auction and rehabbed by the homeowner's grandfather. The floor-to-ceiling kitchen windows are JELD-WEN.
