“ The house was too pretty and airy to bring in a ton of stuff,” says David, a
minimalist who likes a clean-lined, modern look. Daryl, on the other hand, had
to edit down his voluminous stash of pottery, figurines, books, and sporting
paraphernalia. “I was the nutty collector,” he admits. “I finally winnowed it
down to the best of the best.”
(e) Welcoming details
include a flea market bowl with fluted edges and (f) a coat stand holding
Daryl’s childhood sweater, hand-knit by his mother, along with ladies’ parasols
with Lucite handles. (g) The medieval-looking arched door in the entryway was stripped
of an unbecoming coat of white paint. (h) Brown-panel Roseville
pottery is one of Daryl’s passions. (i) Circa 1964 painting by
Alfred Duarte, Daryl’s dad, adds a blast of color. The disco-era light fixture
on the vintage walnut credenza came from the local dump.
