A Home with Moroccan Style
Rocking the casbah style, interior designer Ronald Bricke chose an intense, North African palette for a Tucson getaway
The first time Susan Kennedy visited the Arizona vacation home her husband had purchased, she surveyed the beige tile floors, beige walls and beige ruffled curtains and said, "Honey, you can come here as often as you want, but I'm never going to set foot in this house again."
An avid cyclist, Roger Kennedy liked the idea of having a place where he could ride for hours in the dead of winter -- but not if it meant leaving his wife back home in New York City. The couple agreed to invite their longtime interior designer, Ronald Bricke, to take a look at the property. His assessment wasn't much better than Susan's: "It was a sight," he says. "It had nothing to do with the area and the environment." But since the floor plan was good, and the view glorious, he agreed to try some corrective cosmetics.
