"Hollywood Homecoming\nA Paul R. Williams Original Regains Its Glamorous Past\nIn Los Angeles, designer Craig Wright and architect Richard Manion restored a 1930s Paul R. Williams house to its original Hollywood glamour. In the living room, a Ross Bleckner painting is displayed among a variety of antiques. Drapery and gondola chair fabrics from Stark; Scalamandr\u00E9 sofa velvet; Lisio hand-embroidered brocade on sofa pillows.\nWright says he took a risk installing a low table made of polished coal on the library\u2019s white wool carpet. A drawing by Henri Matisse hangs over the lacquered mantelpiece, flanked by two 19th-century brocatello marble busts.\nWilliams\u2019s elliptical dining room was largely intact. Wright added carved palm tree pilasters for vertical emphasis. A painting by Jean Dubuffet is framed in a recessed area.\nAbove and next image: Before-and-after plans of the first floor show how Wright and Manion reconfigured some rooms.\\n\\n1 Entrance Hall\\n\\n 2 Living Room\\n\\n 3 Music Room\\n\\n 4 Center Hall\\n\\n 5 Library\\n\\n 6 Bar\\n\\n 7 Club Room\\n\\n 8 Billiard Room\\n\\n 9 Dining Room\\n\\n 10 Winter Garden\\n\\n 11 Kitchen\\n\\n 12 Breakfast Room\\n\\n 13 Garage\nAbove and previous image: Before-and-after plans of the first floor show how Wright and Manion reconfigured some rooms.\\n\\n1 Entrance Hall\\n\\n 2 Living Room\\n\\n 3 Music Room\\n\\n 4 Center Hall\\n\\n 5 Library\\n\\n 6 Bar\\n\\n 7 Club Room\\n\\n 8 Billiard Room\\n\\n 9 Dining Room\\n\\n 10 Winter Garden\\n\\n 11 Kitchen\\n\\n 12 Breakfast Room\\n\\n 13 Garage\n\u201CWe built a tray ceiling to improve the proportions of this space,\u201D Wright says of the master bedroom. Stark carpet.\nInspired by Dorothy Draper, he commissioned a period-style fluted, mirrored base for the vanity in the bath.\nManion balanced the rear fa\u00E7ade with identical wings by matching an original bow window. Landscape architect Daniel Busbin captured the spirit of the 1930s garden."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
