Ikat is an Indonesian word for "tied or bound," and the fabrics are, literally, tie-dyed, but not in a hippie-ish way.

The result is fascinating fuzzy-edged chevrons and patterns in vivid colors.

The kitchen, designed by Lou Ann Bauer, has design details galore, from beams and beautiful cherry cabinets to stenciled floors. But it is the French La Cornue stove and hood that are the brilliant focal points, bringing high tech and contemporary style to the mix. |
