Hollywood Craftsman Photos

By Old House Journal

Photos by Sondra Stocker

Craftsman bedroom with original sconces
The picture rail and sconces in the bedroom are originals; updated paint colors help the woodwork stand out, and form a nice backdrop for a collection of "Grueby green" pots.

Craftsman bathroom with built-in dresser
The simplicty and elegance of the California Craftsman style is embodied in the home's guest bath and its original, expansive built-in dresser.

Living room with Craftsman frieze
While removing layers of wallpaper from the living room walls, homeowner Odel Childress uncovered remnants of an original frieze from 1906.

Reproduction Craftsman frieze
The distinctive oak-leaf pattern of the frieze was re-created from the original sample.

Craftsman kitchen with reproduction stove
After 20 years of cooking on a 1914 A.B. Battle Creek stove, Donald succumbed to a modern reproduction.

Victorian sheet music cabinet
In the living room, a Victorian sheet-music cabinet conceals the stereo.

Craftsman office
Most of the furniture is Craftsman antiques; the few exceptions, like the reproduction armoire that holds the computer, hide modern technology.
