A tented canopy above the bed, a pretty Paisley pattern slightly tinged with mauve on walls and furniture, and a few exquisite little bits and pieces suffice to transform the bedroom into a boudoir.

Contrasting garden and backdrop. The small, raised bed, the rectangular shape of the lawn and the shapes, forms and flower colors of the plants chosen deliberately separate the existing garden from its woodland setting. The cultivated garden appears to be a protected, exotic area.

Looking south from the arched windows of the sun room on the top floor, one has a sweeping view of Worth Avenue and Palm Beach's southern estate section. The red barrel-tile roof of the club that was the very first of Addison Mizner's many Palm Beach designs dominates the horizon.

When the owners of this London home considered the various ways to divide the space, an alternative occurred to them that wouldn't strike most of us - steel and slats! And so the architect couple constructed the various rooms of their home with interior steel frames and Venetian blinds.

At the bottom of the stair saddles, gumboots, a garden trug and an old carriage trunk - its top curved to keep the rain from settling - are deposited in a decorative ensemble. The tassled and embroidered numner or saddle blanket is from Mexico.

The pedimented mantel in the hall comes from Ardgillan in County Dublin and is made of Kilkenny marble. Combined with the arms of the Gorges family of County Meath, set within, it provides a focal point in the hall and a fine setting for the fire that burns continuously through the winter months.
