Seeing Green
The study was lightened with new windows and a decorative paint technique that gives the previously dark mahogany paneled walls the look of warm antique pine. The paneling was stripped, bleached, painted a mustard gold, and then striéd with an umber glaze to create a graining effect, Bill explains. A television and sound system are concealed in built-in cabinets and Bill often reads at his desk or watches TV in the study.
