Early-1900s American Arts and Crafts: stained quarter-sawn oak woodwork, exposed joinery and built-ins in an autumn palette. Walls in warm tan, ochre, olive or moss green, terracotta or soft clay; trim in deep brown or forest green; accents of burgundy, dusty red and amber; and golden-brown oak dominating — the trim is never painted white. Quarter-sawn white oak with ray-fleck grain under a warm medium stain (or cherry), hammered copper, oil-rubbed bronze and wrought-iron hardware, leaded art glass in amber and green geometric or stylised-nature motifs, a river-rock or fieldstone fireplace, matte-glazed pottery, leather, oak-strip floors with hand-knotted rugs. Furniture is rectilinear and sturdy Mission style — a solid-oak Morris recliner with leather cushions, a slatted oak settle, a dining table with square legs and exposed through-tenons, a glass-doored oak bookcase, a library table, slat-back chairs. Leather with visible stitching, wool and linen in olive and rust, handwoven textiles with ginkgo, pine-cone or geometric motifs, stencilled friezes. Hammered copper or bronze lanterns with amber mica or art-glass panels, square pendants and sconces and slag-glass lamps give an amber glow. Built-in bookcases flanking the fireplace, a window seat, a plate rail, wide flat door casings, box-beam ceilings, wainscoting, tapered colonnades on half walls and leaded windows finish it. No white trim or cabinets, no chrome, no grey or pastel, no Victorian carving, and rooms stay defined rather than open plan.
