While most trees are fire defensive, Eucalyptus trees like these are an exception. Similarly, a second structure on the property poses proximate fire danger to the home. The Catalina Cherry hedge serves as a barrier to embers that may be generated by either ignite, and the patio offers ample, safe space for fire fighters to work. As outdoor comforts are often flammable, the owners store the cushions on the dining chairs when they are not in use.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

This is a really eclectic space. Mixing pieces from early 20th century with contemporary pieces paints a really rich and captivating picture. Add the multitude of textures and variations of warm colors and the room embraces absolute comfort with an appropriate level of sophistication.
