"Isabel Lopez-Quesada's Elegant Madrid Villa\nIn a leafy Madrid neighborhood, the designer converts a former wax factory into a graceful home and work space\nDecorator Isabel L\u00F3pez-Quesada stands outside the library of her Madrid home, which she renovated with architect Pablo Carvajal and garden designer Fernando Caruncho.\nA spacious limestone courtyard is at the heart of the home. French iron furniture sits beneath a linden tree, and the swimming pool, at left, is outlined with a low boxwood hedge.\nA G\u00FCnther F\u00F6rg painting hangs in the entrance hall, opposite an 18th-century Swedish bench upholstered in black raffia.\nThe living room's steel-base sofa was designed by L\u00F3pez-Quesada; the bookcase is 18th-century French, as is the mantelpiece, which came from antiques dealer Ram\u00F3n Portuondo.\nA pair of Venetian scenes overlook Asian tables and midcentury armchairs.\nIn the dining room, the sandstone-top table is surrounded by Louis XVI chairs and a Jose D\u00E1vila photograph from the Traves\u00EDa Cuatro gallery is displayed above an 18th-century French demilune console.\nThe kitchen is outfitted with Bulthaup cabinetry; the cooktop and hood are by Gaggenau, and the refrigerator is by GE.\nBertoia side chairs by Knoll are pulled up to the kitchen's steel breakfast table.\nIn the library, an Eames lounge chair and ottoman by Herman Miller sit next to a 17th-century French chimneypiece; the side tables are vintage. The family dog, Pepe, naps on a floor paved in Noir Belge marble.\nL\u00F3pez-Quesada designed the oak four-poster and the Parsons-style mirrored night- stand for her master bedroom; the painted table is 18th-century Swedish, and the velvet-covered chaise longue is draped with a colorful suzani.\nFronting the closets in L\u00F3pez-Quesada's dressing room are Louis XV\u2013style doors from her maternal grandmother's house; the chaise longue is upholstered in a floral print by Bennison.\nThe sun-dappled master bath features a Water Monopoly tub with fittings by THG.\nA reproduction of an antique bed shares the courtyard with chairs and ottomans from El Jardinero."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
