The alcove and walls without stone are faux finished with four successively lighter layers of plaster, allowing each of the shades to bleed through to create weathered walls and a texture in harmony with the stone. The tiles on the alcove wall are enhanced with embossed leaves, adding a subtle, natural texture and a horizontal rhythm to this focal point. A custom daybed is upholstered in a wide striped tone-on-tone ecru linen, adding a subtle vertical effect. Colorful pillows add a touch of whimsy and surprise. Photography Memories TTL
