interesting mix of neutral textures and finishes
The walnut door opens to an entry, living area and kitchen. The ceiling shows where walls once cut off the entry from the rest of the spaces. Glaister removed the walls to create better flow. Brick adds warmth and texture around antique-style lighting and furnishings. “I wanted an old-world look,” Cindy says.Glaister consciously chose lighting that doesn’t have a lot of glass so dust from the surrounding almond orchards doesn’t settle and get trapped. The entry chandelier features chickenwire. “Anyone who lives in the country knows that glass is not your friend,” Glaister says. She and Cindy worked with The Gallery Finesse in nearby Turlock to furnish the home with new artwork. The paintings are mostly by Belgian artists and depict farm scenes. “I just loved them because they’re peaceful and farm-related,” Cindy says. “I can sit and look at them all day. They’re so soothing and remind me of the small farm I grew up on.” All the artwork features custom lighting as well. “It changes the space dramatically,” Cindy says. Find a designer in your area
