HISTORIC HOME - Riverside, Illinois Architect George Washington Maher
Premier American Architect
Constructed in 1891-1892

The unique American Shingle Style was popular in the 19th Century. A treasure trove of artifacts were found during the renovation. The dining table is set with the hand-made china created and made by my client. Pottery is their passion and wonderful creations have been incorporated into the design of the Living Room and Dining Room.

Eclectic Design

The lifestyle of the client reflects the need for a comfortable, yet elegant home for entertaining and is achieved by warmth of color and textures, as well as furnishings and art. The natural beam ceiling in the living room and dining room supports the second floor and is utilized as a design element. The faux painting enhances the irregular texture of the walls and brings interest to the room.

Family Room, Dining Area, Kitchen and Garden Room Transformation…

The Family Room, Dining Area and Kitchen of this very beautiful home are dramatically transformed to textural Mediterranean style walls. Faux painting techniques were implemented to create this effective design. The kitchen cabinets are completely refurbished with cream and brown glaze and granite has replaced the old tile countertops. Two antique iron chandeliers grace the ceiling of the Great Room and the jewel-like Crystal Chandelier hanging over the dining table enhances the dining area. The step-down Garden Room becomes an oasis for reading and relaxing.

Living Room and Dining Room

The client selected sumptuous fabrics, custom-designed furniture, beautiful lighting creating an elegant interior design of the living room and dining room. The design of gorgeous silk window treatments has dramatically enhanced the arched windows, transforming them into a stunning and dazzling vision.

Great Room - Volume Ceilings

A great room with volume ceilings is a wonderful challenge. Design of drapery treatments, coordination of paint textures, and selection of furnishings and placement of furniture in the space is the key element of design that brought this room together.
