"Nancy and Bill Morton's Colorful House in Florida\nFeaturing exotic trompe l'oeil, tropical art, and a sprightly palette, Nancy and Bill Morton's historic home is a Florida paradise\nNancy Morton relaxes in the loggia of the Boca Grande, Florida, residence she shares with her husband, Bill, and Jack Russell terrier, Rupert.\nThe house was designed in 1940 by architect F. Burrall Hoffman Jr.\nThe living room's pecky-cypress paneling was lightened by decorative painter Bob Christian, whose work can also be seen on the tile fireplace surround. The landscape paintings are 19th-century English, the roll-arm sofas are by O. Henry House, and the Louis XV\u2013style armchairs by Edward Ferrell + Lewis Mittman, in the foreground, are upholstered in a Brunschwig &amp;amp; Fils floral; Chinese rice barrels serve as occasional tables.\nIn the living room, a Portuguese chest-on-stand is positioned beneath an antique English painting of dogs; the Aubusson is by Stark.\nGlassed in to become a combination entrance hall and living area, the cypress-beamed loggia is paved with travertine by Country Floors. The walls feature trompe l'oeil decoration by Christian and an array of Staffordshire plates and platters. The faux-bamboo lantern fixture, two-tier occasional table, and button-tufted armchair are from John Rosselli, and a Lee Jofa ikat stripe covers a pair of scroll-back chairs by O. Henry House.\nChinoiserie scenes by 18th-century French artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement inspired Christian's murals in the dining room, a space added by the Mortons; the artist also painted the Georgian-style dining chairs and marbleized the mantel. Hurricane candleholders by Simon Pearce are displayed on the double-pedestal table; the sisal is by Stark.\nPainted furniture and a blue, white, and green palette freshen the master bedroom. Brackets from John Rosselli hang above a Louis J. Solomon faux-bamboo desk with custom-painted decoration by Christian; the curtain fabric is by Brunschwig &amp;amp; Fils, a Clarence House stripe covers the slipper chair, and the sea-grass carpet is by Stark.\nMurals of fantastical plants ornament a guest room; a Manuel Canovas print\u00A0from Cowtan &amp;amp; Tout is used on the beds and the armchair.\nA miscellany of furniture styles lends an heirloom atmosphere to another guest room.\nA plunge pool centers the front courtyard; the ceramic tiles and travertine pavers are by Country Floors."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
