On the left is the beach facade of a fantastic house, designed by a friend and colleague Sandra Vitzthum, and architect from Vermont, for a shared client in Michigan.  The house is a sophisticated blend of English Arts & Crafts elements, and drew inspiration from such diverse sources as William Morris, Edwin Lutyens and Carl Larsson.  Sandy asked if I would help with the interiors and furniture, which I was happy to do.  Our client already had a collection of nice pieces, so it really was a case of filling in with specific pieces to complete the picture.  On the right is a view of the entrance hall, with a staircase copied from William Morris' famous Red House, and some nice Sussex chairs by Morris & Co.  The wallpaper is Compton, a reproduction of a William Morris design that we carry.

The view of the combined kitchen and dining room shows how nice and open the plan is.  The paneling on the walls was painted white, a nod to Carl Larsson's Swedish Arts & Crafts design of the period.  On the left is a view of the window seat in the library.  Original leaded glass panels from our client's collection were incorporated into the new windows, and Morris fabrics were used on the seat, chair, and pillows.  The rug on the floor is a one-of-a-kind Voysey reproduction that fit the space perfectly.

On the left is a view of the master bedroom, with an antique dresser by Gustav Stickley and a custom-designed new bed.  Again, Morris fabrics and patterns are used throughout the room.  On the right is another bedroom with quite a different feeling.  It is far more delicate and feminine, in a way, which is perfect for a daughter's room.  The wallpaper is honeysuckle by Morris, and another Sussex chair sits next to a paneling-covered closet with iron hardware.
