Since torching her own home, Nancy Botwin has moved to a simple south-of-the-border abode—but anyone who knows Nancy knows that “simple” will never do. The temptation for life’s finer things has always been the Achilles’ heel for this soccer mom/pot dealer, so Met Home selected designers sure to decorate with decadence in mind. Paul Latham taps into Nancy’s penchant for the organic with terrariums, forest green hues and biomorphic silhouettes. James Biber merges the sacred and the profane with a picnic of martinis and marijuana set under a crystal cross chandelier. Surfacedesign, on the other hand, bring out Weeds’ suburban roots with screens displaying cookie-cutter houses and well-manicured allées. As pretty as things appear, in Nancy's world, somethings are just a facade.
Paul Latham’s Weeds Lounge
A throwback to a 1960s smoking den, Paul Latham’s lounge is a seductive spot to rendezvous and spill secrets. The sinuous, biomorphic silhouette of the Latham-designed fainting couch beckons for a cozy tête-à-tête. The sexy skins of the leather slipper chair and zebra rug add sensuality to the space. The triptych is based on a late-19th-century painting that was photo-enlarged on metallic paper and mounted on wood-framed Gatorboard.

The Entertainment Nook
This room has a corner on style. Tom Dixon’s Wing Back mohair-covered wing-back chair is an avante-garde take on a classic. A polished-aluminum and glass shelving system designed by ALU for store displays layers in a touch of industrial chic. It’s sturdy enough to house the television, lots of vintage books, a collection of green-glass lab bottles and the essential pipes.

Organic Style
While antiquing, Paul Latham found the three-foot-high Chinese gnarled root that forms the base of this organic console. Now topped with Alcamo Marbleworks granite to make an oddly sophisticated piece.
