Poison Ivy, a pen-and-ink work by Robert Lobe, dangles a little dangerous beauty above the serene Buddha, the luminous Billy Haines capiz cocktail table, and the luxuriant pastel chairs. The 1940s slipper chair was reupholstered in Manuel Canovas peach satin; the lavender 1960s Hollywood Regency slipper chair has a Trapunto dagger in its back.

A salon wall in the bedroom. Clockwise from top left, works by Tim Liddy, Katy Grannan, Aristide Maillol, Elliott Puckette, Pablo Picasso (a photographic self-portrait), and Aristide Maillol. The owner’s mother picked up the 19th-century Maillol lithographs years ago in Paris.

A vintage lamp stands guard on the Billy Haines shell bedside table: a turquoise rendition of the Chinese fu dog (actually, a lion).
