An oasis at day's end, the bedroom opens onto a wraparound deck and panoramas of Monterey Bay.

A row of wood-trimmed windows frames the view. Hardwood flooring from BR-111 adds to the modern barn aesthetic.

A few bold hits make a strong style statement. Here, a cowhide chair and an abstract painting pick up on the earthy palette.
