<p>Looking for an artistic point of view, the Sanderson clients sought out Kelly Wearstler to design their newly purchased 11,000 sq. ft. home on Mercer Island in Washington. In contrast to the classic Pacific Northwest architecture of a 1946 cottage-style house clad in cedar siding the interior proves to be a different world—part Parisian jewel box, scholar’s retreat and natural wonder. The residence pays homage to art beginning with the owner’s existing prestigious art collection to the hand-painted custom wallcoverings and meticulously laid out abstract, asymmetrical marble slab floors. Combining elements of cubist furniture, pistachio green millwork and delicately handmade brass railings on an old-world circular staircase are just some of the details Wearstler blends seamlessly to create a never boring, and always daring, marriage of comfort and beauty.</p>
