The rustic setting reminded Houston of his childhood in Chappaqua, New York, where homes seemed to disappear into the trees. So he and Shamie added an abundance of windows to make the house feel like a part of nature, rather than a retreat from it.
In this photo: Houston splurged on the marble-topped Saarinen table, $2,800 at a local antiques shop. Vico Magistretti designed the molded-plastic chairs in the 1960s. The wood-veneer pendant lamp is from Design Within Reach.
Living Area
Though they clad the walls in pine paneling, the cabin-in-the-woods clichés end there: Forgoing a dark stain, Houston pickled the planks himself, conjuring a color that evokes the innards of a tender sapling. He avoided tartans and twiggy rockers in favor of furniture that neither distracts from the view nor pretends to blend with it: molded-plastic Italian chairs from the 1960s, a marble-top Eero Saarinen table, clean-lined sofas slipcovered in ivory and taupe canvas.

Cozy Corner
Houston hand-pickled the pine walls of the 1960s ranch house. Here, the couple's French bulldog, Sedgwick, lounges in front of the living area's built-in bookshelves. An Ikea sheepskin softens the 1970s bentwood rocker, which belonged to Houston's father. The tin B was part of a gas station sign.
