Living Room
East meets West in a Dallas apartment that textiles designer Lisa Fine decorated with a luscious abundance of pattern and color for her mother. A Langham & Fine dhurrie rug and a Turkish kilim on a French ottoman add graphic spice to the expansive great room. The Guéridon tables are from Nick Brock Antiques.

Lacquer Screen
An Asian lacquer screen backs a custom-made sofa upholstered in Quadrille's Colombe.

Great Room
A plush banquette by Richard Keith Langham in Scalamandré's Volterra spans a wall in the great room. Animal-motif prints hang above it. Luxor, by Lisa Fine Textiles, covers the slipper chair. A Louis XVI-style chair is from Nick Brock Antiques.

Dining Area
In the dining area, a wall painted in a custom burnt orange sets off an antique pagoda to dramatic effect. Frances Elkins's Loop armchairs, based on an 18th-century Chinese Chippendale style, surround a table topped with Lisa Fine Textiles' Malabar fabric.

Bedroom
"This bedroom makes me very happy," Fine says. "I never tire of palm trees and the pinks and blues of India." Walls and headboard are covered in Pasha, and the dog bed is in Maharab, both by Lisa Fine Textiles. The sisal rug is from Blackstone Carpets & Rugs.

Detailed Wallpaper
A panoramic de Gournay wallpaper, Early Views of India, evokes an air of exotic fantasy in the entry. The Anglo-Indian bench is cushioned in a lush velvet from Istanbul.

Master Bedroom
Soft blush tones create a soothing atmosphere in the master bedroom. The walls and headboard are upholstered in Pandora and the lampshades are made from Jaisalmer, both by Lisa Fine Textiles. Pinwheel night tables are from the Dorothy Draper Collection by Carleton Varney for Kindel. The painting is by the Iranian artist Afsoon.

TV Room
Pattern-on-pattern envelops the cozy TV room. Lisa Fine Textiles' Malula is on the walls and sofa, and Baroda II is on the ottoman. The agra rug is from Abrash Rug Gallery, while the ceramic stool hails from Ceylon et Cie.

Gallery Wall
A collection of Indian miniatures framed in bone adds even more visual interest to the space.

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Image
Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Image
Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
