Two-Toned Desert Home
The epitome of "organic desert living," this luxury home features white walls, light wood accents and simple yet sophisticated furnishings. At the same time, black wainscoting, windows, doors and tile floors offer some much-needed definition, while subtle diamond prints add visual interest.

Southwestern Living Room With Curved Sofas
The living room epitomizes the designers' signature, desert living look with rustic beams, a wrought-iron chandelier and clean, simple lines. Instead of the usual boxy seating arrangement, two curved sofas are a soft, graceful moment at the heart of the room.

Black and White Bathroom With Striped Floor
A black-and-white bathroom is a snazzy way to go. This one is steps away from the home's swimming pool. And suddenly, that after-swim rinse off is oh so appealing.
