A lanai stretches across the full front of the Duggan home. White canvas outside curtains shield the lanai from the sun, or may be opened to reveal a marvelous view of the gardens. Deep grayed plum walls contrast with white woodwork, cherry-printed chintz and white leather covered furniture. Interesting Chinese screen tops Tambour desk. A profusion of plants and flowers in the lanai give the room an indoor-outdoor effect.
