TOP: All seating in the serenely neutral living room was reupholstered. The original plaster ceiling
was sanded down to a smooth finish; new windows replicate the originals. Crystal lamp from
Visual Comfort.

above an antique bench, one of the Barneses' first purchases when they moved to Dallas in 1983.
Cube pendant from Visual Comfort.
ABOVE RIGHT: Artist Jessica Drenk spent 12 hours on a ladder assembling Bibliophylum II. The
site-specific piece was created from vintage books dipped in hot beeswax, allowed to harden, and
cut into fossil- and feather-like strips. Each is mounted individually to form an elliptical shape.
RIGHT: Japanese artist Misako Inaoka's Organic Imprints is a series of miniature mixed-media
constructions on handmade wood shelves. Her "invented creatures" incorporate dried kelp, coral,
shell, seeds, pods, wood, resin and plastic toys.
