Interiors & Decorative Accessories

Paint-decorated furniture brought colorful fancy to rooms, and is still made today.

Frankly modern in function, the new kitchen has a traditional look: a stove “hearth,” beautiful millwork, and a furniture-like island.

Old-House Kitchens

A timeless look comes from using black and white to evoke classicism as well as the early 20th century.

Authentic details of this house in Haverford, Pennsylvania, include the graceful staircase. The tall-case clock was made by Daniel Christ of Kutztown ca. 1790.

A colonial-style tavern grate creates a pass-through to the dining room. The long grain box is antique. Historical colors are from Old Village Paint.

Decorative painting adds color, detail, and narrative to a new house built by artists Hope and Fred Angier in Maine.

Northeastern Historic Sites

A look into the rich history of Eastern Pennsylvania's stone houses and buildings.

A collection of early American furniture adds to the ambience of what was once the all-purpose main room. Notice the large cooking fireplace and the original, wide-board floors.
