Kari and Charles, who grew up near the Southern California sand, wanted to bring
a beachy vibe to their living room. So Kari accessorized with old globes,
nautical fabrics, and seashells. Armed with a nail gun, she and her sister,
Jennifer Bright (co-owner of Confetti, a party-favor company featured in our
December '05/ January '06 issue), made a bar by topping an old corbel with a
piece of wood molding, (g) "It was really satisfying—and I got the bar I always wanted."
The spiral staircase was an afterthought when Charles discovered that a standard
staircase would have gobbled up an entire wall. "It really adds to the home's
postmodern farmhouse feel," he says.
Kari loves the colors in a vintage school map of the
British Isles that covers the living room wall. When she couldn't find the
perfect turquoise fabric for a couch pillow, she made one from an Anthropologie
skirt.

botanical prints hang above the cutest mini-bar in all of Oregon.
