House of the Week

The Hunting Lodge


above, The Hunting Lodge when John Fowler lived there.

I have always adored this house in England. It is so romantic and charming...just perfect in its setting in the English countryside 38 miles outside of London. And boy does it have history. It is now home to celebrated British decorator Nicky Haslam. He has lived there since 1978. John Fowler of Colefax and Fowler fame lived there prior to Nicky. The house dates from the 16th century and was built for King Henry VII as a resting place while hunting. It is said to the place where King Henry's son Arthur, big brother of future King Kenry VIII, met his fiance met Catherine of Aragon, who later married Henry after Arthur died. Enjoy and be sure to click on the link at the end to see more pictures from the WSJ article about the house.

Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon

This is one of Jane Douglas' favorite fabrics. We really have to find a place to use it. I wonder which one of our clients' houses it will show up in? Ways to use the fabric are endless...

House of the Week

So here I was on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, stuck in traffic driving home from a lacrosse game on West Paces Ferry Rd. I was surrounded by Neel Reid and Philip Shutze mansions, not a bad place to be stuck. Turned down a side street to avoid the traffic and landed on a quiet street with some cul de sac offshoots. I drove around a curve and noticed this charming house, which had never jumped out at me before. Nicely situated on the lot, good details, good landscaping and a pretty slate roof. The owners have let us know that the house was built in the 1930's, and Philip Shutze was the architect. And it's white clapboard so you know what that means....house of the week!

















Isn't it interesting that there are no gutters on this house? Makes for a beautiful line. I wonder if there are any issues with water management?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Decorating the foot of the bed

Typically a bench or small settee lives at the foot of a bed. Another alternative is put 2 stools there instead. Have a look...
