The master suite

A peaceful refuge for grown-ups is a must in any family retreat. Lush bedding, a rug, and artwork in subdued natural hues echo the surroundings, such as pale green meadow grass and a lavender-blue High Sierra sunset.

Suede finish
Clay plaster on two walls adds a delicate contrast to concrete and redwood elements. The neutral wall color lets artwork and bedding take center stage.
