Entrance-front 



The garden 



the chill off the sea air. All the woodwork, and the rafters features, the built-in window seats and bookcases and hand- 

 are of hand-wiped brown chestnut; the walls of sand finish wrought copper wall brackets. The keynote of color in 



have taken on a warm tint and are a pleasing 

 background; the rugs and hangings offer the 

 most color, with a tone of green to match the 

 fireplace; the rug introduces browns and terra 

 cotta; and all form a simple and yet substantial 

 and livable setting for the oak and tapestry 

 furniture. The large window has been built in 

 with dull red tile and an ornamental fountain 

 and offers a permanent indoor garden. 



The music-room opens right into the living- 

 room and entrance-hall. Large beams and

 rugs which are of the hand-tufted quality, in an 

 unusual art noveau design, and in the hangings, 

 which match in design and suggest the hand- 

 woven texture. Here, the furniture carries out 

 the style of that prevailing in the living-room, 

 but of a lighter nature, with coverings in blue to 

 match the hangings. 



The dining-room is finished in rich, yet soft 

 tones of browns and greens, with terra cotta as 

 the keynote. The furniture of brown oak has 



Fountain pool 



pilasters form the only separation, and throughout is the an inlaid motive in the art noveau style, which motif has 

 brown chestnut wood. Here again are the craftsman been carried through the treatment of rugs and hangings.
