left without remarkable detail of some kind. In one
guest room, green enamel walls give the space an
almost jade-esque feel, while another is completely
walled in mirrors. Only befitting of the masters of
the home, the master bedroom boasts a high-gloss
ceiling backlit with a series of lights to give it the look
of a star-filled night sky and a custom-designed bed
whose headboard is essentially a series of mirrors
installed at various heights and angles extended
above to create a reflective canopy.
And while it could certainly be difficult to tear
one’s eye away from any one of the fantastic details of
the home, it is the coziness of the den with its down-
filled couches, Persian rugs, and antiques collected
by the Bowens throughout their lives that claims this
place as their favorite—a space that seems almost
an unexpected peek at tradition in the midst of such
departure from convention.
Regardless of where one’s attention wanders in this
home, however, it is the reflection of the light on its
many surfaces that could be said to be its greatest
feature—light that spills in from its expansive
windows whose sole purpose is to frame the natural
beauty just outside. And that natural beauty is the
very gem that makes this house a jewel-box home.
