Cindy's casually chic living room holds a trove of global treasures. The red Howdah chair from Thailand (right) is traditionally used for riding elephants. The antique Yoruba Egungun mask (foreground) is from Nigeria, the rugs are Afghan kilims, and the teak table and bench are Indonesian. Over the fireplace is the mixed media Untitled, by Minnesota artist Stephen Hartman—"the first piece of art I ever purchased," says Cindy. The orange-and-cream pillows by NV add a shot of brightness.
