I've been digging thru period catalogs again. I ran across a color Minton Tile catalog from c. 1905 that is quite stunning. Here are many color pictures from it.

Somewhere in the late 70s we ran across a copy of American Bungalow magazine. Inside its covers lurked photos of the Craftsman bungalows of Pasadena, CA designed by Charles & Henry Greene. One …
When I was in Phoenix last week, I was fortunate to have a free day. I'd hoped to go to the Thorne Rooms which are located at the Phoenix Art Museum. But alas, the wing in the museum that houses the rooms was under construction so instead I went to Taliesin West and I'm so glad I did. I was inspired by the serenity and the history of the site. Though built in the 1930's,Wright's private residence has been restored to how it would have looked in the 1950's. It was surreal to sit in chairs that he designed, positioned as he would have positioned them. There is still architecture school here that spends the summer term at Taliesin East in Wisconsin and fall/spring at this location. I did pick up a few things in the gift shop that I thought might work in my 1930's townhouse. Some art deco wrapping paper designed by Wright in the late 1927 that I may use somewhere for wallpaper... And a ornament that may be used as a sculpture... My very gracious thanks to all the well wishers out there. I'm lucky to have found the miniature blog world!
In early 2015, the master artist behind Salavat Fidai Art began carving micro miniature sculptures out of pencils, inspired by the work of Dalton Ghetti.

This book also includes photos of actual interiors and they give more examples of rooms with unpainted woodwork. Some nice examples of furnished rooms and how not all pieces have to be mission style. Also interesting as there appear to be no coffee tables and the couches seem to be placed quite close to the fireplace. Interiors Beautiful and the Decoration of the Home (from Internet Archive) by M.L. Keith, dated 1922. The photos are done in black and white, but there are some very lovely interiors. My one criticism of the book is almost all the houses seemed to run on the side of "great" houses, i.e. those with numerous huge rooms that most people couldn't afford.

Successful Houses (from Internet Archive) by Oliver Coleman. This is another opinionated, and vastly entertaining book dating from 1902.

Even though I don't really need to do much more research, I seem to be addicted to downloading books from Internet Archive. I really am a research junky. I guess I may as well put all this research energy to good use by sharing some of the good stuff I've found. Because I'm putting lots of pictures in this post, I'm going to insert a page break so it won't bog down folks loading the main page. If you want to see all of the pictures, you'll have to open the post. On my mind this week are closets and other bedroom built-ins—probably because we're trying to make progress on our closet this month. I've cited where I got the drawings. From Housewifery by L. Ray Balderton, 1919 From Home Interiors by the National Lumber Mfg. Association, 1929 From Home Interiors by the National Lumber Mfg. Association, 1929 These three wardrobes are from the Morgan Millwork catalog (1921) I shared a couple days ago. These 5 pages about Closets and Wardrobes are from the book What Makes the House Beautiful: A Collection of Building Details and Measured Drawings, published in 1920 by Henrietta C. Peabody. And three more from various sources. From the Curtis Cabinet and Stair Work catalog, 1927. From an Ideal Built-In Furniture catalog, c. 1920 From a Sears Honor Bilt Building Materials catalog, 1930.
The word "Craftsman" is often used in reference to American Arts & Crafts style. A Craftsman Home, though, is something more defined.

How difficult is it to look at these pictures and not want this dollhouse for yourself? And how difficult is it for you to answer the first question with all that drool collecting in your mouth? I know. It's a beauty--a massive beauty being built by the craftsmen at Miller Woodworking. The company's founder and CEO, Steve Miller, was kind enough to give us an extended preview of the contemporary beach model for the Kaleidoscope Ball Dollhouse Showcase. The house is not complete in these images, but it's already a stunner. I have to give a nod to the craftsmen working on this structure. The work looks high quality, but that's no surprise really if you visit the company site and see what other works of art they have created. You know I have a high regard for artisans. Let's face it, this hobby and our miniature collections would be lackluster without them. I'm quite fond of the kitchen cabinetry in this model...and is that an Elf Miniatures range tucked in there? The staircase makes me swoon. Its design actually reminds me of the work we've seen from Paris Renfroe. Oh! And those terraces...those walls of "glass"... I look at this canvas and just want to get my hands on it. I can't wait to see this house fully dressed. Enjoy the rest of the images below and share your thoughts!
