An original turn-of-the-century Craftsman home had lost it original charm in the kitchen and bathroom, both renovated in the 1980s. The clients desired to restore the original look, while still giving the spaces an updated feel. Both rooms were gutted and new materials, fittings and appliances were installed, creating a strong reference to the history of the home, while still moving the house into the 21st century.

This award-winning Craftsman style Master bedroom was awarded second place, Whole Room Integration, at the 2008 International Window Coverings Expo design Competition. It included my tweaking the client's plans for a bed custom made by a member of the New Roycrofter's Guild, to ensure the headboard was visible above the rows of pillows designed for reading in bed. An outline quilted bedspread in an embroidered botanical silk from Kravet and custom pillow in a coordinating botanical fabric completes the bed. A warm green from Benjamin Moore complements the oak finish. And an original custom window treatment inspired by the furniture designs of Harvey Ellis completes the ensemble. Nightstands are from Stickley's Mission collection, in Centennial finish.

This wood ceiling needed something to tone down the grain in the planks. We were able to create a wash that did exactly that. The floors (reclaimed red oak from a pre-Civil War barn) needed to have their different colors highlighted, not homogenized. Instead of staining the floor, we used a tung oil and beeswax finish that was hand buffed. Our clients wanted to have reclaimed wood beams in their ceiling, but could not use true old beams as they would not be sturdy enough to support the roof. We took their fresh- cut fir beams and used synthetic plasters, paints, and glazes to give them an authentic aged look.
