MARY DOUGLAS DRYSDALE ~ DESIGN ON THE POTOMAC

This jaw-dropping beauty on the Potomac in Maryland was totally renovated, and the interior was designed by the talented interior designer Mary Douglas Drysdale.  This neoclassical home appeared to be a chateau on the river, and for Drysdale it was love at first sight.

It took four years to restore the home known as Marwood.  Drysdale wanted the owner to be able to enjoy the river views from anywhere in the home, so the floor plan was opened up and reconfigured somewhat.

The interior is adorned with beautiful millwork, boiserie which blends with the limestone floors, and elaborate French furnishings.  The tall windows and furnishings are dressed with embroidered linen, and the modern sculpture and paintings offer contrast to the elegant interior.

The home is laden with history and is beautifully written about in the article. Absolutely stunning.  ENJOY!

FURLOW GATEWOOD ~ DESIGN IN AMERICUS, GEORGIA

This beautiful home was moved to its home in Americus, Georgia in two pieces. When designer and antique collector Furlow Gatewood saw the home, it was close to being torn down.  A former associate of John Rosselli, Gatewood could not let a house with the bones and character of this old Southern home with its sixteen foot ceilings be demolished. In eighteen months he had renovated this stunning home and lawn and decorated it with antiques, many from Rosselli's basement.  Did I mention that Furlow Gatewood is ninety years old?

With so many unusual antiques and pieces collected on trips, this home is a showplace and a collector's dream.  Diana, the plaster statue in the foyer, was also found in Rosselli's basement.  The beautiful floor in the dining room has hand painted gray squares, and there is blue and white porcelain in every room.  The sisal rugs in this home are beautiful and add just the right amount of texture.  "Antiquing is the best entertainment I have down here," Gatewood laughs. "If you don't count decorating, that is.  And dogs. And peacocks."  ENJOY!

MARKHAM ROBERTS ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN INDIANA


Interior designer Markham Roberts uses patterns and colors to create this busy yet beautiful palette in this Fort Wayne, Indiana home.  Roberts admits that the designer must take chances with colors and textures until a perfect mix is achieved.  The art in this home is stunning, including Italian gouaches.

The kitchen, porch, and bedrooms are designed with an airy and calm palette. The library is warm, using plums, greens and textured walls.   ENJOY!








See you soon,
