A wooden cutting board was selected for this kitchen with the Japanese tradition of wabi-sabi -- or the practice of embracing imperfections. The raw, imperfect accent pieces throughout the home speak to the natural surroundings of the Sonoma County property.

Modern Furnishings Made With Organic Materials Bring Nature to Dining Room

Transom windows, sliding doors and picture windows bring the outdoor wine country vistas into this inviting dining room.

Inviting Master Bedroom Offers Nod to Asian Style While Honoring Surrounding Views

The homeowners also maintain a residence in Tokyo, and the low-slung furniture in the master bedroom of their Sonoma County, Calif., retreat gives a nod to Asian design sensibilities. Accents such as the framed fabric and woven pendant lights were chosen for their subtlety, creating visual interest without detracting from the stunning views through the picture windows.
