ARTS & CRAFTS IS ABOUT living with beauty every day. Art is not just for paintings and sculpture; the hand-embroidery on a sofa pillow is art, too. Why shouldn’t our lamps and our chairs, our kitchen bowls and door hardware be beautiful? As for the architecture: Who doesn’t love wood, motifs taken from nature, craftsmanship without ostentation, an earthy palette, and organic rooms that promise serenity? If you are building, adding to, or remodeling a house in the Arts & Crafts spirit, this is the guide you need. You’ll be introduced to the different idioms of Arts & Crafts—English, Craftsman, California Bungalow, Prairie School—as well as the work that defines the Revival. The people and companies we list display a commitment to a deliberate Arts & Crafts approach. Their new…

DUANE TIMM Bassett & Vollum Davenport, Iowa (563) 323-4077 bassettandvollum.com WHEN DUANE TIMM bought Bassett & Vollum, in 1992, he had no experience in hand-printing wallpaper. He learned the craft of screen printing after the sale, working nights with the two previous owners. “I like the pattern end of it,” he says. “Patterns just fall naturally for me. And I like the history behind it, too.” Bassett & Vollum was founded in Chicago by Emile Bassett and George Vollum, in 1936. A third partner, George Funke, brought in hand-blocked patterns from France and commissioned national and international designers—notably Chicagoan Edgar Miller—to design new collections. After Funke bought out his partners, the company reached its peak success in the 1950s. Now Bassett & Vollum is “a small two-horse shop,” says Timm,…

WINTER 2025 RICHARD LOPER El Dorado Woodworks Houston, Texas (713) 529-3880 eldoradowoodworks.com RICHARD LOPER HAD JUST MADE AND SOLD his first piece of furniture, in the early 1990s, when he happened to see a collection by the legendary studio designer Warren Hile. “I fell madly in love with his furniture,” he says. “I consider him the grandfather of the re-emergence of Arts & Crafts style.” Loper began building Arts & Crafts furniture, basing his initial designs on photographs of fine originals. His background as a professional photographer allowed him to “see” a piece just by looking at a photograph, he says. Once he had the dimensions, “I could go into a computer drawing program, scale it, and get it within ¼" of what was in the picture.” Since then, the…

THE CA. 1920 row house, in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia, needed major repairs; it had been gutted by a fire in the 1970s. The subsequent remodeling made no attempt at a period look: “It was a DIY ‘Mediterranean’-style job with tiled counter tops and harvest-gold appliances,” says homeowner Lynne Gery; she and her husband, Daniel Womer, bought the house in 1986. “I’d approached a few contractors over the years,” Lynne explains, “but I never met anyone I felt comfortable with. So we procrastinated.” • Lynne found Airy Kitchens through their Instagram posts. “They caught my eye because theirs were different from standard kitchen-designer renovations. “I had the impression that [designer Sean Lewis] devised something original for each client.” Airy Kitchens specializes in period-inspired design for old houses in the…

As Seattle’s population burgeoned, a local developer hired the Olmsted Brothers firm, in 1905, to design a park-like neighborhood, with curving, tree-lined boulevards, on what had been the site of logging activity and sawmills, southeast of downtown. The area was named Mount Baker owing to its views north over Lake Washington to that towering volcano in the Cascade Mountains. An enclave of picturesque bungalows and handsome Arts & Crafts-era homes soon were built. Leslie and Paul Santarelli came to the neighborhood in 2018. They’d been looking for a larger family home, something with period charm. This house, a Craftsman semi-bungalow built in 1912, had character intact—with handsome fir wainscoting and trim, box-beam ceilings, leaded-glass windows, a built-in bench in the entry hall, Art Nouveau-style art glass pendants, a fanciful cutout…
