A palm frond fans out above a mahogany buffet table from Maitland-Smith. The Wheelers already owned the Chippendale-style dining set, which Spear updated by reupholstering the seats in Jim Thompson silk. The fantasy element comes from the Cascade Round Luminaire, a chandelier from Boyd Lighting's Kentfield Collection. To bridge the divide between classic and camp, Spear relied on color, covering the seats of the elaborately carved mahogany chairs in a green silk slightly more vibrant than the honeydew-painted walls. |
