Above: The master bathroom has a central soaking tub and decora- tive wall of onyx. The cabinets are book-matched teak. Opposite: The bedroom headboard fabric is from Donghia.

of natural materials. A fireplace hearth is a col- orful slab of Brazilian quartzite made more striking by an acid-aged steel surround. The distinctive quartzite is utilized again as the top of a contempo- rary dining table and 20-foot- long kitchen island.
Accent tables in the living
room are petrified wood from Indonesia. In the family room, a 12-foot-tall, unfinished, strangler
vine stands guard in a corner. A nook in the kitchen displays a teak tree trunk, reclaimed and handcrafted into a table. Antiques and decorative ac- cents gleaned from the couple’s travels blend seamlessly with the home’s wood and stone. A favorite is a ruddy Burmese temple.
A colorful collection of Chinese calligraphy brushes is displayed against a dining room wall, each one hanging delicate- ly from the ceiling. Handles are made from semiprecious stone or bone.
A pair of African headdress-
es adorns a wall in the master bedroom. Above teak cabinets in the kitchen sits a collection of South Sea ceremonial necklaces. Native American artifacts
hold a special place in Daseke’s heart and on shelves in a home office. Baskets, pottery and spir- it dolls sit side by side, enhanc- ing the colors of nature in the room.
Merging varied relics and objets d’art was not difficult for the interior designer.
