ing includes a reveal which is carried
throughout the room as molding. A writ-
ing table custom made in black-ash features
tapered legs and a floating glass top resting
on bronze cubes. Its chairs are upholstered
in the camel and black leaf pattern.
The kitchen, designed by Kitchen Stu-
dio of Birmingham, features a black gran-
ite floor. Two islands, one with a cooktop,
the other a work station, are of Sardinian
granite and stand out against the white
polyurethane cabinets. Five Jasper Johns
lithographs and a painter's proof add a
unique visual diversion for the cook. In the
octagonal nook off the kitchen is a 7-foot
round glass-top table on a circular platinum
base. Eight fully upholstered arm chairs
feature a woven black, white and .gray flo-

out on the back decks, pool and spa.
A seven-car garage houses a collection of
antique Ferraris, a Lamborghini, Ford Co-

two Louis XVI chairs.
The master bath features cream-colored

glass columns, which hide medicine cabi-

matching drawer pulls. The master clos-
