Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
L.A. designer Barclay Butera has refashioned drawings by Julia Morgan, the architect of Hearst Castle, for a line of luxury pillows. The four patterns in the Casa del Monte series are based on pencil sketches that Morgan prepared for gilded plaster relief panels for the bedroom ceilings of Casa del Mar, one of the guest houses at William Randolph Hearst’s estate at San Simeon. The sea horse shown here is 22 inches square and printed on Belgian linen with a blue silk backing. It is $435 at Barclay Butera Home, 169 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles; (323) 634-0200; www.barclaybutera.com.
