Throughout the home, the owners wanted a mostly neutral palette, which allows the colors of Owen's artwork to stand out. Asked about numerous appearances of animal hides and faux fur in the home, Triggs explains, "When you have to stay with neutral palette, the next idea is texture. They are not the kind of people who like a lot of color, so the best way to deal with that is to add lots of textures. Another way we did that was with a tile that looks like horsehair on the floor and in the shower of the master bathroom." That tile is also from SpecCeramics.The painting of the woman at left is by Mill Valley, CA, artist Eric Zener.
