Shades of pastel bronze in walls and carpeting blend with a natural driftwood finish of cabinets and ceiling in the Carmack living room. A Dale and Marjorie Nichols water color hangs over the brick fireplace. Couch is in bright persimmon brocade. Chinese objets d'art are from a collection belonging originally to Mrs. Carmack's sister-in-law, who was a missionary in China.

A former glassed-in porch has been converted to what the Carmack's call their Arizona room — with tile floor, plant-covered rockery and fountain, casual rattan furniture and a magnificent view of the Old Pueblo and the Tucson Mountains.
