CLEAN AS CAN BE
(Above) The master bath is well-lit, with makeup lights integrated into
the mirrors. The clean lines and neutral tones of Scandinavian design
can be austere, says Li, but the wood veneer on the custom-made
vanity warms it up, as do the pops of color that brighten and personal-
ize the space. (Right, top) The bedroom of Thomas, 6, sports neutral
Chelsea Gray walls that show off the artwork above his bed. The bed-
ding, as on his twin sister’s bed pictured below it, is from the Land of
Nod line from Crate & Barrel. (Right, bottom) Leila’s bedroom has a tray
ceiling painted in a bold color that’s uncharacteristic for the house.
Her artworks appear on the left; over her bed hangs a Lino print pur-
chased at CSM Art in Chatham. (Left) The children’s bathroom has gray
wainscot-height tiles, and an overhead light that Li’s husband, also an
architect, fashioned from a $20 Home Depot lamp with a shade made
from rice paper. As for the artwork, Li used a paper punch to cut out
circles of watercolor paper; her kids painted them, and she mounted
them on the wall — easy, yet one of a kind. ■
