Tustin Ranch

A family house reworked slowly, room by room, around the pieces that were worth keeping.

An antique terracotta vessel of dried branches on a travertine pedestal, against a fluted timber screen, with a carved wooden stool and a pale glazed jar on the oak floor beside it.
A curved travertine coffee table on a dark woven rug, holding a striped gourd-shaped vase of wiry branches and a candle, with a small round timber stool beside it and a woven-back chair and pale shelving beyond.
A pale sofa under a sheepskin, black candlesticks and a stack of books on the low table in front of it, and a terracotta vessel of dried yellow branches standing in the doorway beyond.
A framed botanical drawing on a plaster wall, a tall terracotta urn of dried branches at the corner, round woven discs hung above a console, and pale woven chairs drawn up to it.
A wall of built-in cream shelving holding a collection of antique terracotta and stoneware pots, each on its own shelf and several standing on books, with an opening through to a further room beyond.
A pale stone console in low sun, two large round rusted-iron discs hung on the plaster wall above it, and on its top a carved stone vase of dried olive branches, a small lidded stone pot, a stone tray of dark candles and a matchstick jar, with books and a lit candle at the end.
A woven rush-and-timber chair on a dark woven rug in front of the cream shelving wall of pots, with the kidney-shaped stone table beside it carrying a ribbed dark vase of wiry branches, a candle and a book.
The square stone coffee table seen close: two slim black candlesticks, a dark chain-link object on a pair of art books, and a black clothbound volume, with a pale linen sofa and a knitted throw behind it.
The kidney-shaped stone table from the other side, the ribbed dark vase and a candle on it and a small timber stool tucked beneath, with a sectional sofa to the left, a woven chair to the right, and glazed doors onto a furnished terrace past a timber-clad wall.
