A mix of vintage pillows adds texture, pattern and a touches of color. A circa-1500s trunk with original hardware offers stylish storage. The iron clock is a foyer focal point that echoes a circular theme, which includes the architectural corbel below. The decor throughout the Zurian home is a balanced blend of rugged and pretty.

Rather than use decorator’s tricks such as dark-colored walls to minimize large rooms, Kathee creates impressions of even more space by keeping walls light.Leaning architectural salvage infuses the master bedroom with weathered allure A baguette board keeps a row of apples in line atop a vintage Swiss Army blanket used as a runner; French enamelware bowls punctuate the warm tones of the room.
