Master Bedroom Becomes Contemporary Coastal Retreat
A bright, airy master bedroom opens onto a sunny private terrace, giving this San Francisco Bay-area home the feel of a Caribbean paradise.

A Cozy Corner on a California Island
A woven sectional sofa provides a great perch overlooking Corinthian Island, a tiny enclave off the tip of California's Tiburon Peninsula. A collection of soft pillows adds a homey feel to the vignette, while a neutral palette with minimal pattern avoids competing with the view.
