This office is located just off the foyer of this town home, making it very visible to visitors. The wall of cabinets is an easy hideaway place for monthly paper flurries. Of course, the zebra rugs takes attention away from any mess on the desk!

Romance Master Suite Things soar in the Master Suite, where Jane created an ornate decorative plaster ceiling with extra-wide molding handsomely framing the design where a capiz-shell chandelier punctuates the center, tinkling in the breeze when the room’s French doors are left open. “The best place for a wonderful ceiling is the master bedroom” says Jane. “My clients love to lie in bed and look up at it.” For a touch of unexpected, Jane paired a shiny embroidered silk coverlet with a cowhide rug and warm walls of a hue between chartreuse and lemon.

This 5,000+ square foot custom home was constructed from start to finish within 14 months under the watchful eye and strict building standards of the Lahontan Community in Truckee, California. Paying close attention to every dollar spent and sticking to our budget, we were able to incorporate mixed elements such as stone, steel, indigenous rock, tile, and reclaimed woods. This home truly portrays a masterpiece not only for the Owners but also to everyone involved in its construction.
