Excerpt: The owner's goal was to
create a decor that was comfortable but
not over-the-top Western that they might
soon tire of. They purchased all
new furniture and added their eclectic
collection of paintings and sculptures
acquired over many years of traveling.
A favorite piece is their dining room
table, built by Greg Race of Quandary
Design in Leadville, Colorado. The
top is fashioned from a large slab of
walnut, and two crosscut pieces of
juniper form the pedestal bases.
The sandblasted pedestals were harvested
as dead-standing specimens, more than a
thousand years old, from the upper
reaches of the Colorado River. The
finished table weighs close to 1,200
pounds.
