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.
