Interior designer John Anderson of John K. Anderson Design was brought on board to coordinate the home’s colors and furnishings. “What drove my part of the project was getting the right neutral backdrops for the artwork,” says Anderson. “We spent at least four months on the wall colors alone.” Today, the vibrant artwork is electric against a palette made up of mostly grays. It may seem like a departure from the stark white of most galleries, but as Fraze points out, “Many traditional museums have richly colored walls.”

“The existing woodwork was beautiful but very oppressive,” says the designer. “In the living room, the baseboard was tall, and it made the room seem low-ceilinged.” Anderson solved the problem by painting the walls, ceiling and upper and lower moldings all the same color—Benjamin Moore’s Smoke Embers—in order to elongate the room. Painting the never-before-covered woodwork took some guts, but as Anderson puts it, “You have to respect the past, but also make the home work for the clients and their needs now.” California Home and Design
