"Dennis Quaid\nA Rustic Los Angeles Sanctuary for the Actor and His Family\n\"We just wanted it to feel like you're in the country,\" Dennis Quaid says of the 15-room house in Los Angeles's Rustic Canyon that he shares with his wife, Kimberly, and their young twins. The property, on which the couple built stables, backs onto a state park and 40 miles of riding trails. \"You're in another world,\" remarks the actor. \"There's a creek out front, which you just don't find in Los Angeles.\"\nTo warm up the front fa\u00E7ade, \"we planted a lot of Boston ivy,\" he says.\nThe interiors are \"relaxed, comfortable; you walk in and throw your feet up\u2014but at the same time, they're artistic,\" says Kimberly Quaid. Interior designers John and Krista Everage brought a farmhouse feel to the spaces, adding rough-hewn beams from a Pennsylvania barn to the living room. Kneedler-Fauch\u00E8re floor lamp. Sconces and branch side table base, Gregorius/Pineo. Cowtan &amp;amp; Tout chaise pillow fabric. Wing chair pillow fabric, Clarence House.\nThe dining room \"plays rich woods off painted textures,\" says John Everage.

Black-and-white portraits of the actor hang above the bone-inlaid-teak desk in Kimberly Quaid's study.\n\"I've got steam; she has a big tub,\" the actor says of their separate baths.
