"Redefining the Ranch\nA Vintage California Residence is Imbued with a Contemporary Touch\nBarbara Howard's ranch house in Los Angeles was refurbished by M (Group)'s Carey Maloney and Hermes Mallea.\nThe living area.\nThe designers used Old World Weavers linen on the walls. The chairs, by Paul Frankl, are upholstered in Edelman leather.\nThe dining area retains the original brick wall. \"It made sense, because it forms the fireplace and chimney as well,\" notes Mallea. Frankl chairs from the 1950s, covered in Edelman leather, surround a marble table. The mask, at right, and the figure next to the hearth are African.\nHoward with Mallea, center, and Maloney.\nTwo guest bedrooms were combined to create a study.\nHeavy wood grain on the walls was covered up with paint. Sofa upholstered in Clarence House fabric; rocking chairs covered in Edelman suede. Stark rug.\nThe project began with a guest suite.\n\"We wanted it to have a separate entrance,\" says Maloney. William Haines armchair covered in Manuel Canovas fabric. British Khaki bed (with faux-fur throw); Clarence House bed linens. Donghia drapery fabric. Stark rug.\n\"Since there were so many large windows, we carefully designed the lighting inside and out,\" says Maloney. The outdoor furniture came from a house in Palm Springs that belonged to Howard's parents, Ann and Jack Warner. Color consulting was done by Donald Kaufman."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
