Follow the process of a new home constructed in the style of the early 1900s architect brothers Greene & Greene. We will use many of the Greene brothers style elements to honor their vision. Most Greene & Greene homes are found primarily in Pasadena and in a few other California towns such as Carmel, Ojai, and Berkeley.

Daniel Ridgway Knight Artwork in Gamble House
During my recent behind the scenes tour of the Gamble House with Jim Ipekjian I noticed an oil painting of a Dutch girl. Since we were not allowed to take pictures I wrote down the name of the painter and looked up information about him later online.
His name was Daniel Ridgway Knight (1839-1924) and if you search his name for images you can see a whole collection of his work, any of which would be gorgeous in a bungalow home. It looks like prints are available and there are some reproduction services out there but I am not sure what to think of that idea--maybe someone can enlighten me.

Vintage and Antique Lighting Field Trip
I went on a field trip recently----to the tulip fields---but also to a fabulous vintage lighting store in nearby LaConner, Washington. And I can't wait to go again.
