"Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas' Bermuda Home\nDecorator Stephen Ryan creates an island retreat with timeless English style for the stars and their family\n\"I said to Catherine, \u2018We'll be on an island with lots of family and no place to go. Think about that.' She did and immediately signed on,\" says actor Michael Douglas of the Bermuda refuge he and his wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, commissioned decorator Stephen Ryan to design.\n\"Though the couple wanted to retain the cedar,\" Ryan says of the floors in the living room and throughout, \"I was doubtful\u2014I'm not keen on orange wood. However, we refurbished it, and it came out rich rather than orange.\" Mulberry Home chair and drapery fabrics.\nDouglas and Zeta-Jones wanted a comfortable living room where they could accommodate up to 14 guests. Ryan describes the area, with plush fabrics and a deep palette, as typically English. Sofas, wing chairs, pillows and panel draped over sofa arm from Mulberry Home.\nZeta-Jones calls the dining area's blood-red walls \"lush\u2014the dining room in my first house in London was painted red,\" she says. \"It's very soothing to eat in those kinds of surroundings.\" Drapery plaid, leather tiebacks and chair fabric from Mulberry Home.\nThe fanlighted living room door frames a view of the entrance hall, where a bronze lantern illuminates a painted treillage design, and the media room beyond, where a pair of prints depicting monkeys echo the monkey-patterned pillows, from Lee Jofa, on a leather sofa.\n\"I wanted to maximize the height of the master bedroom,\" says Ryan. The designer created a canopy of lace panels that cascades from the beam ceiling. \"It's very pretty\u2014it just works,\" he adds. The bed is dressed in silk and stands on a wool rug.

Bedcovering fabric from Lee Jofa.\n\"Michael and I like our privacy, getting up in the morning and having breakfast and quiet time with Dylan,\" their son, says Zeta-Jones. Tall plantings and a brick wall guard an outside dining area, where highback wicker chairs surround a glasstopped wicker table.\n\"Here you feel like you're really away from the city,\" she says. \"I love it.\" The pool area, which is sheltered by palms and tropical shrubs, features a poolhouse with a shower and a bath. Patio furniture upholstered in a striped fabric rests on terra-cotta tiles."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
