I sometimes think designer Erin Martin has single-handedly saved the Napa Valley from morphing into Provence or Tuscany. While the surrounding mountains may be dotted with ersatz Mediterranean villas, Martin's clients rely on her modern sensibility to pull off an inimitable mix of vintage with a splash of understated glamour. This modern take on an American farmhouse (designed by architect Wayne Leong) is centered around an original water tower, beams intact, with interiors that feature Martin's signature multi-textural, muted palette.

I love that bathtub, it looks delicious! Vesta Monroe Domestic Goddess Guide
Unbelievably gorgeous. I am awestruck. Love the styling.
Wow....I am overwhelmed with this designer...Yes vintage with understated glamour it is!!! I am blown away and thank you thank you for sharing these amazing photo's....
Love Erin. She is my kindred soul in Napa.
They have a done a great job all over ... I especially like the living room/fireplace, and the red spiral staircase.
Couldn't agree more about the Mediterranean-ad-nauseum all over the Valley. It is refreshing to see existing buildings and materials put to use. Erin's work reminds me alot of another designer in the Valley, Lorna McClearie (? not sure about the last name)who designed for some friends of mine a while back. They could be off the same page. Interesting.
