Decorators’ Show House and Gardens

WELCOME TO THE ST. MARGARET’S HOSPITAL GUILD’S 56TH ANNUAL DECORATORS’ SHOW HOUSE AND GARDENS. It is our pleasure to have you join us for a tour of the childhood home of famous author, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. This home in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood was built by the author’s father, Kurt Vonnegut Sr. We hope that you will enjoy your experience today, as your visit continues the tradition of “The Country’s Longest Running Show House Event.”

The Guild members, designers, and landscapers spend months laying the groundwork for each show house. In early February, we take possession of the show house, and the work begins. This year’s 28 designers and landscapers are putting their designs into action, transforming empty rooms into masterpieces and bare outside areas into lush gardens and open air living spaces. While respecting the heritage and style of this historic residence, our designers look to designs and trends that will also accommodate a modern-day active family.

As you tour the house and grounds, please follow along in this program.

The areas are listed, numbered, and described in the order in which you will see them. There is helpful information on each page, including designer information, paint color name, and names of contractors used by the designer. We hope that you will find an area or two that inspires you to go home and give one of your own rooms a new look. Of course, you can always make an appointment with one of our designers!

The Guild volunteers, our dedicated designers, and landscape professionals make this springtime tradition possible. Willingly jumping into this effort are many loyal businesses, vendors, and contractors, as well as many others who offer special services. We encourage you to look at their advertisements and logos in this program. We hope that you will visit their places of business. Without their support, the Guild would not be able to carry out a project of this scope to benefit Eskenazi Health.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild’s mission is to raise funds for the programs and services of Eskenazi Health. It is a Level I Trauma Center, and everyone in the community benefits from its organizational skills in the event of any public disaster. The men and women of Eskenazi offer superior heath care for all, regardless of ability to pay. We are proud to support Eskenazi Health and its contribution to the entire community.

As you explore the beautifully decorated rooms, remember that many of the items are available for purchase. The designers donate a percentage of those sales to the Guild. Landscape designers will have a list of items for sale in their outdoor areas.

After your tour of the house and grounds, we invite you to stop in our Flower Shop or Boutique on Wheels and to have lunch or a snack at Maggie’s Café.

Thank you for attending the 56th Annual Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. We hope you enjoy your visit and look forward to making it your yearly tradition.

Eskenazi Health Patient Testimonals

Pricilla Johnson – Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center Pricilla Johnson was at home late one Saturday evening, preparing for an Indianapolis 500 party she was hosting the next day. When the pork roast in the crock pot was finished, she slid the crock pot toward the front of the counter so that she could better cut the meat. Unfortunately, the crock pot fell and spilled its contents all over her legs. After applying some ice, she decided it was late and she would just go to bed.

She awoke the next morning to blisters all over her legs and skin hanging from one of her elbows. Not sure what to do, Pricilla sent photos to her daughter and asked her brother to come over and look at her injuries. Luckily, Pricilla’s daughter lives next door to Dr. Rajiv Sood, medical director of the Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center at Eskenazi Health. When Pricilla’s daughter showed him the pictures of her mother’s injuries, Dr. Sood said Pricilla needed to be in his office first thing the next morning.

One look at Pricilla and Dr. Sood immediately admitted her to the burn center. Pricilla confessed “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that something like this happened to me!” But, she was in good hands.

Over the next 23 days, Dr. Sood and his team took care of Pricilla and helped heal her wounds. “I was not treated like a patient in a room. I was always treated like a person the team cared about. From the nurses to the person who came by to clean the room, everyone was great,” Pricilla explained. She even came up with a name for her stay – Camp EKZ – where she created badges for different steps in her recovery process.

Pricilla is now undergoing a 12- to 18-month recovery, but says she knows she will get through it because she knows she’s “in good hands” thanks to Dr. Sood and the team at the burn center.

Eskenazi Health Patient Testimonals

Sylvia Stout De Witherspoon – St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Diagnostic Breast Center She credits her husband with helping her get through it. “He really helped me a lot. He was a great support.” He even shaved her head for her, once her hair started falling out.

Daily, she battled exhaustion, hemorrhoids, and chancre sores in her mouth and throat so bad that it made it hard to swallow. “I felt so ugly. I would tell my daughters that I didn’t want them to see me like this.” Every time she would say that, her daughters would kiss her forehead and say “no, mommy, you are beautiful.”

Sylvia asserts that “my family was my strength.”

After chemotherapy, began radiation therapy. Every week day for two months, she came to Eskenazi Health to get treatment. The doctors kept encouraging her to push through it.

In early 2013, Sylvia Stout De Witherspoon discovered a lump in her right breast. It didn’t hurt, so she just figured it would go away. After all, she was very healthy; she ran about an hour each day and ate very well. After a few months of it not going away, she decided to mention it to her primary care physician who immediately sent her for a mammogram with Dr. Katherine Paterson at Eskenazi Health.

The scan revealed something and she underwent a biopsy two days later.

“It was pretty scary,” she recalls. “I had two little girls (ages two and five) that I had to worry about.”

Once the biopsy came back positive, she met with Dr. Lisa Korff, a surgeon at Eskenazi Health. “She went over all of the possibilities with me and discussed my options. I really appreciated that,” Sylvia explains.

Ultimately, Sylvia elected a full mastectomy. “I didn’t want anything to come back,” she said. On September 11, 2013, with her husband and her mother from Mexico by her side, Dr. Korff performed her surgery.

Everything was going well until about two weeks later when she developed an infection and severe pain. She went to the Michael & Susan Smith Emergency Department at Eskenazi Health that weekend. Dr. Korff had to re-open the incisions and remove the infection.

“It was very painful,” Sylvia remembers. “It was a very, very long week.”

With the help of a surgical drain and Eskenazi Health doctors and nurses, Sylvia’s infection cleared up.

She, then, began six months of chemotherapy. Dr. Lida Mina, a Hematology/Oncology specialist at Eskenazi Health, treated Sylvia. “They chose the most aggressive chemotherapy because Dr. Lida Mina said I was strong. But, it wore me out,” Sylvia admits. While her husband worked, Sylvia would undergo treatment and still have to take care of the girls and get all of the household chores done. But, she was strong. “Sometimes my legs would shake and my hips hurt so bad I would just want to fall on the floor. But, I had to keep going. My family depended on me.”

Despite the intense pain, Sylvia pushed herself to stay as normal as she could. She even took karate classes with her two daughters and her older son. “I had to show them how to be strong and have a good attitude,” she explains.

“I always tried to laugh at myself and everything going on. It relaxed me.

It relaxed my family too.” One day, her daughters made up a song. Her youngest put a pillow under her shirt on one side and marched around the house singing “chichi. Aye, aye, aye.” Chichi is Spanish slang for breast.

They all laughed. It became somewhat of an anthem for them.

Once she had recovered from her treatment and her cancer was in remission, she met with Dr. Ivan Haddad at Eskenazi Health, to discuss reconstruction. “He was wonderful. He explained all of my options and just treated me so well. He was very positive. All of my doctors were fantastic,” Sylvia proclaims. Dr. Haddad took skin from Sylvia’s back and muscle from her shoulder to hold the implant in place. She had to go every two weeks to receive an injection in the temporary implant. She even tried a prosthetic, but her skin was so sensitive, it only caused more pain. So, she often went out “bald and without the prosthetic.”

In early 2016, Sylvia underwent surgery to complete the surgery and receive a permanent implant. “Dr. Haddad helped me look human again.”

It’s still a battle every day for Sylvia. Because of her medications, she deals with constant stiff muscles that prevent her from getting back to running like she used to, but she finally got back into the gym about in September.

She says she knew a lot of people that had a similar diagnosis who did not survive. “I’m so very thankful to be alive. I’m so thankful for everyone at Eskenazi Health.”

Sylvia says she made a point, during each of her interactions with Eskenazi Health doctors and nurses to tell them how grateful she was.

“They were all awesome and always so kind. They are like angels. They kept me alive to be with my children.”

THE COUNTRY’S LONGEST RUNNING SHOW HOUSE EVENT

Achievement in Medicine Award Generously sponsored by the Indiana Blood Center since 2006

The impact that Dr. Carlos and Dr. Khan have had on the health and safety of the patients at Eskenazi Health is substantial and reaches outside the institution. Many of the tactics and protocols they have developed have been adopted at other local and national institutions, bringing great credibility and recognition to Eskenazi Health.

These two doctors were selected as the 2017 AIM award recipients as they have implemented multiple programs in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Eskenazi Hospital with tremendous impact on patient care. These include a “Wake-Up-And-Breathe” ventilator weaning protocol that dramatically decreased the incidence of delirium and ventilator duration. The former was published in a majormedical journal, Critical Care Medicine, in 2015. Together, they created and implemented an “ICU Daily Rounding Checklist” that prompts clinicians to remember to address various patient-care activities, such as updating family members, removing bladder catheters to prevent infections, and removing invasive lines. This checklist has achieved enormous benefits to patient care. Eskenazi Medical ICU has decreased utilization of catheters and improved patient satisfaction scores since its implementation. The results were published in another major journal, Annals of the American Thoracic Society, in 2015.

Joining forces with colleagues from the pulmonary/ critical care and geriatrics divisions at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. Khan headed the development of the ICU Survivor Clinic, the Critical Care Recovery Center, which is unique to Eskenazi Health.

This clinic affords an opportunity to survivors of ICU patient care at Eskenazi a timely follow-up visit to address medication reconciliation and more importantly, screen for post-ICU delirium, post-traumatic stress disorder, ICU-acquired cognitive impairment, and ongoing risk factors for hospital readmission. Opened in 2011, this was the first clinic of its kind in the United States and has achieved improvements in the post-ICU symptoms of ICU survivors, recognized both nationally and internationally.

A unique aspect of all the aforementioned programs is that they have been implemented as clinical programs with a strong research foundation and demonstrate a unique merger between clinical and research operations.

This ensures the shortening of the traditional discovery to delivery cycle that allows evidence-based patient care in real time without having to wait extra years to achieve health benefits.

w. graham carlos iii,

MD, MSCR grew up alongside the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York. During his freshmen year at the University of Notre Dame, he met his wife, Jenny. They graduated together and entered the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Class of 2005. After medical school they completed their Internal Medicine Residencies at St. Vincent Hospital, where Graham eventually served as Chief Medical Resident. Returning to IUSM for his Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship, Graham concomitantly completed a Master of Clinical Research. In addition to his research endeavors, Graham grew as an educator, teaching students, residents, and fellows. Graham serves as the Medical Intermediate Care Unit (MICU) director at Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, where he also conducts clinical research and is involved in multiple quality improvement measures. In 2016, Graham was named Assistant Dean for Medical Student Education Phase 3 and co-chairman of the IUSM Curriculum Council. These roles have focused his efforts on the clinical rotations in which IUSM students participate, ensuring educational quality and comparability statewide. Uniquely, he has won the “most outstanding teacher” designation for each subset and is now focusing his career on faculty education through the American Thoracic Society and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

babar a. khan,

MD, MS is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and a Research Scientist at Regenstrief Institute, Inc. and Indiana University Center for Aging Research (IUCAR). He is a patient oriented clinical researcher and an implementation scientist with a principal focus on developing models of care in the ICU and post-ICU setting. His models of care have been implemented at Eskenazi Health to improve delirium identification, prevention, and treatment among critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). In the post-ICU setting, he spear headed the development of the “Critical Care Recovery Center (CCRC),” an innovative center balancing research and clinical services that sought to advance the science of “Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)” for expeditious cognitive, physical and psychological recovery of ICU survivors. He is at present expanding the clinic model into a comprehensive mobile ICU recovery program so that the recovery services for ICU survivors can be provided outside the physical confines of a clinic by taking the intervention to the patient.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild: A Worthy Organization for a Worthy Cause

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild are you interested in joining st. margaret’s hospital guild?

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild is a volunteer organization comprised of dedicated women who are committed to raising funds for programs and services for Eskenazi Health. For the past 56 years, this has been accomplished by hosting the annual Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. The proceeds support some of the neediest of our neighbors.

A group of dynamic women serve on various Guild committees and participate in Decorators’ Show House and Gardens assignments.

Members who work together develop lifelong friendships while raising funds for Eskenazi Health.

For more information about membership, please email: decoratorshowhouseinfo@gmail. com or ask any host or hostess at the Show House or in Maggie’s Café. We would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and share the St. Margaret’s story. st. margaret’s hospital guild, inc. mission statement St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild, Inc. is a volunteer organization committed to raising funds for the services and programs of Eskenazi Health.

was founded in 1907 by five women who formed a nonsectarian Guild to provide care and support to Indianapolis’ City Hospital patients through direct service and fundraising projects. The Guild’s mission is the same today; only the name of the hospital has changed. Starting as City Hospital in 1895, the hospital has been known as Indianapolis General Hospital, Marion County General Hospital, Wishard Memorial Hospital, and today we all know it as Eskenazi Health. People often ask how the name of the Guild was chosen. St. Margaret, the daughter of ninthcentury Prince Edward of Scotland, worked with the sick, the orphans, and the poor.

Each year since 1962, St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild has organized the refurbishing of a classic home, opened the home for a two-week public tour, and donated the proceeds to Eskenazi Health. Since the Guild’s founding in 1907, it has raised over $12 million for Eskenazi Health, supporting the patients and professionals at our city’s public hospital.

Proceeds from the Decorators’ Show House and Gardens allow SMHG to provide equipment and special programs for patients at Eskenazi Health. With your help, the Guild has funded the Burn Unit, sponsored two mobile mammography clinics, allowed for department renovations, initiated the Mother’s Milk Bank, and provided “Protecting Our Children” materials. SMHG has provided summer group therapy at Midtown Children’s Center, underwritten childbirth classes focusing on areas of highest infant mortality, purchased golf carts to help patients navigate the hospital campus, and supported the Haven of Hope with forensic medical supplies. The Guild has helped build raised garden beds for patients’ use at the Sky Garden, supported Healthy Me for children, funded the Limestone Falls at the Commonground, and purchased an eight-vehicle fleet including two ADA-accessible vans for use by Eskenazi Midtown Mental Health. Most recently, funds earned from the Decorators’ Show House and Gardens provided support for the new Sandra Eskenazi Center for Brain Care Innovation.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild is proud to be one of the pioneer volunteer groups in the City of Indianapolis. We are grateful to the designers, landscape architects, sponsors, individuals, corporations, and donors of in-kind services who make this annual event possible.

2017 DECORATORS’ SHOW HOUSE AND GARDENS 25

A History of 4401 N. Illinois Street

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild is honored to be a part of the 2017 “Year of Vonnegut” by presenting the childhood home of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. as the organization’s 56th Annual Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. The residence was built by the author’s architect father, Kurt Vonnegut Sr., expressly for his own family. They included his wife, Edith Lieber Vonnegut, and their three children, Bernard, Alice, and Kurt Jr. The celebrated author, playwright, artist, lecturer, and humanitarian resided in the home from the time that he was just a few months old until he was 15 years old.

Kurt Vonnegut Sr. was in the third generation of Vonneguts to make their marks on Indianapolis. His grandfather, Clemens Vonnegut Sr., established the popular Vonnegut Hardware chain. Kurt Sr.’s father, Bernard Vonnegut, founded a respected architectural firm, Vonnegut and Bohn, which Kurt Sr. then joined. One of Kurt Sr.’s feats during his architectural career was the 90-degree rotation of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company’s eight-story office building at New York and Meridian Streets.

Members of Edith Vonneguts’ family were also prominent citizens. Edith’s father, Albert Lieber, was the owner of the Indianapolis Brewing Company. Her grand-uncle, Herman Lieber, operated a picture-framing and art supply store, which evolved into an art gallery that exhibited many now-famous Hoosier artists. Edith’s cousin, Richard Lieber, was the founder of the Indiana State Parks system.

Although the Vonnegut home is known today as 4401 North Illinois Street, at the time it was built, the address assigned to it by the City of Indianapolis was 4365 North Illinois Street. It was known as 4365 for nearly four decades.

Construction of the 5,907-square-foot residence began in the fall of 1922. In filing for the building permit, Kurt Sr. had to provide a figure for the projected cost of construction. He estimated that the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home, with finished attic, basement, and two-car attached garage, would cost about $25,000. Using an inflation calculator, that figure would be about $360,000 in today’s dollars. The land on 26 2017 DECORATORS’ SHOW HOUSE AND GARDENS

which the dwelling was built was already owned by the Vonneguts and not included in the estimate of construction cost.

The lot is 100 feet by 300 feet, more than two-thirds of an acre.

The residence was completed by the spring of 1923.

With its simplicity and clean lines, the building primarily presents an Arts & Crafts architectural style. However, the incorporation of some English Country and English Tudor vernacular resulted in the exterior’s having a somewhat eclectic appearance. Since Vonnegut built the home for his own family, he may not have felt any constraints in choosing to incorporate features he himself liked that were not strictly from one period or in one style of architecture.

An unusual aspect of the structure is its placement on the lot. Most homes face the street, unless the lot is too narrow for the entrance and more formal areas to fit within the width of the building site. The Vonnegut house was positioned with its front door facing south and its back door and garage doors facing north; thus, the side of the house is oriented towards the street. Since the lot is adequate to accommodate the width of the house, Vonnegut must have had some other reason for deciding to position the residence as he did.

The exterior façade of the home is primarily brick, with a few areas of painted half-timbers and stuccoed walls. The roof is slate, and the gutters and downspouts are copper. Most of the windows on the main and second floors are leaded glass.

Of special note are stained-glass windows that were incorporated into the home’s front entrance. The entry door window contains the letter V wrapped around the letters K & E (for Kurt and Edith Vonnegut) and the date 1923 (for the year the home was completed). Three windows alongside the front door contain the letters B, A, and K (for the children, Bernard, Alice, and Kurt).

Inside the house, the details and materials used by Kurt Sr. were clearly in the Arts & Crafts tradition. Many of the original components remain today. Mahogany woodwork, oak floors, ceramic tile, and leaded glass interior doors can be

found throughout the home. An unusual arrangement of front and back stairways provides alternatives for access to and from the second floor. The front stairs, near the front door, living room, and dining room, were finished more elegantly and probably originally intended for use by adults and guests.

The back stairs, easily accessed from the kitchen, back door, and garage, were more utilitarian and probably originally intended for use by children and domestic help.

The Vonneguts resided in the property from 1923 until 1938. After the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930s, Kurt Sr.’s work as an architect declined, as few people had the money to build new homes or businesses. In 1938, to reduce their cost of living the Vonneguts moved to a smaller home just two blocks away from their Illinois Street home. Interestingly, the sellers of the property the Vonneguts bought became the purchasers of the Vonnegut residence.

The family with whom the Vonneguts traded homes were Robert W. Clark and Margaret B. Clark and their two children, William and Ann. Robert Clark was Chairman of the Board of Merchants Property Insurance Co. The Clarks resided in the home from 1938 to 1961.

Architect Evans Woollen III and Nancy Sewell Woollen and their sons, Ian and Malcolm, were the third family to occupy the home. Like the Vonneguts, the Woollen family was well-established, having settled in Indianapolis in 1835.

Evans’ great-grandfather, Conrad Baker, was the 15th Governor of Indiana. Although Evans III’s work was often controversial, he is nonetheless considered one of Indianapolis’ most important architects. Woollen designed Clowes Memorial Hall, Barton Towers, the Minton-Capehart Federal Building, and the addition to the Indianapolis Public Library, to name only a handful of his many projects.

It was during the Woollens’ residency that two significant changes were made to the property. First, at the Woollens’ request, the address of the home was changed from

4365 North Illinois Street to 4401 North Illinois Street. This revision required the cooperation of the Woollens’ next-doorneighbors, as 4401 was their address. Second, Evans removed the ceiling of the home’s living room, which was also the floor of the master bedroom above it, thereby creating a dramatic two-story-high living room and eliminating the home’s original master bedroom.

The fourth owners of the home were Ronald B. Covin and Janet Nielson Covin. Ron came to Indianapolis from New York to be the executive vice president of the women’s clothing store, Paul Harris. The Covins lived in the home for only about a year. During their ownership, they replaced the original 1923 kitchen with a new kitchen.

In 1987, marketing mavens Vaughn B. Hickman and Melissa Stone Hickman became the home’s fifth owners. The couple owned Hickman and Associates, an award-winning advertising and public relations agency. The firm was founded in 1968 by Vaughn. He was chairman of the company, and Melissa was its president. Hickman and Associates closed its doors in 2009, after 41 years in business, so that Vaughn could enjoy his retirement years.

The current stewards of the home are eye doctor Paul L. Walton, his wife Cheryl H. Walton, and their son George. The Waltons purchased the home in 2008. One of the improvements made in the early years of the Waltons’ ownership was the conversion of the former coal bin into a wine cellar. They also refinished the floors and updated the bath on the third level of the home. More recently, the Waltons have installed a new kitchen on the main level and a new master bath, new closet, and new laundry room on the second level.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild extends its heartfelt appreciation to the present owners of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s childhood home for partnering with the Guild in the 2017 Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. It has truly been a pleasure to work with the Waltons.

The history of the property and its owners was researched and written by Guild member Sharon Butsch Freeland.

Entry Hall

AREA DESCRIPTION The Entry Hall is an intimate space that sets the tone for the whole house. We visually lifted the compressed space with a sky blue ceiling. The ceiling is decorated with a gilt starburst to add a bit more interest. We used large-scale objects to provide drama. One-of-a-kind artwork from local artist, Quincy Owens, adds color and interest. A pottery and porcelain collection personalizes the space with period style.

Living Room

AREA DESCRIPTION The Living Room pays tribute to former resident, well-known author and artist Kurt Vonnegut.

Several pieces of his artwork are prominently displayed throughout. The color palette was inspired by the unique, original wall sconces spotlighting Vonnegut’s work. Teal and pear-green contrast beautifully with the deep rich wood on the floor, fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The room is a comfortable place to entertain, while gathered on the textured white sofas and the richly patterned chairs nestled near the fireplace. The bay window seating area, with custom upholstery and beautiful stained-glass windows, is the perfect spot for coffee and drinks

Dining Room

AREA DESCRIPTION The Dining Room is the most classic of spaces in the Arts and Crafts home. It is a reflection of the character of the home as well as its occupants. Windows are left bare and minimal to appreciate the simple leaded designs of the windows. A new moulding has been added to the ceiling that speaks directly to the Craftsman motifs; and the beautiful glazed tile floors have been buffed to show off their original glory. Modern furniture with touches of gold are simple adornments to the new sparkling chandelier that harkens to the home’s era. Contemporary art and Chinese accessories make it interesting dining space for yesterday or today.

The original herringbone brick floor is enhanced by the colorful floorcloth that Michele has painted just for this room. Come, commune with nature in style!

AREA DESCRIPTION Nestled into the edge of the property’s rear woods is a small concrete pond with adjoining flagstone sitting area, creating a delightful spot for morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The pond is punctuated by a bubbling boulder contributing sound and movement to the tranquil setting. Not to be overlooked is the frog perched on the pond’s edge. It’s been there for decades. A sculptural weeping Japanese Maple provides an accent with a mix of flowering shrubs and perennials finishing the background.

AREA DESCRIPTION Amanda designed and partnered with Barry Lantz Art, creating “the green space.” The emerald green original art became the inspiration for the area. “Start with the art,” Amanda says. “The result is a personalized space that aligns with one’s taste and style.” Amanda layers in shades of gold, chocolate, and cream to transition this pallet into the stained staircase and woodwork original to the home. The chocolate-colored crystal chandelier and sconce provide a golden highlight to the hues of the space. Fresh greens breathe new life into the Vonnegut home.

Master Bedroom

kalleen & company, llc

6

AREA DESCRIPTION The Master Bedroom is a world unto itself—a calming respite and a showcase of treasured objects spanning three centuries. We played with scale, color and texture to create a space of dramatic contrasts. The massive wood platform bed with its raw steel minimalist canopy creates a room within a room that plays off the diminutive “Arts & Crafts” stools. Likewise, the muted tones of the painted Japanese screen (circa 1850) are a counterpoint to the psychedelic colors of a quartet of “60’s” portraits. A natural sisal rug and the soft delicate blooms of phalaenopsis orchids further our eclectic concept.

Master Sitting Room

thomas & jayne interior design

AREA DESCRIPTION Interior design often takes cues from the past and the architectural revivals that influenced the character of historical living spaces. The charm of the Vonnegut house is a convergence of those cues. The idyllic Master Sitting Room, a former sleeping porch, is a perfect place to demonstrate the revivals of the Far East and past travels to India. A timeless upholstered day bed layered in colorful fabrics, a classic cane chair, and a rough-carved chest anchor the room.

Finishing touches include soft romantic drapes, layered rugs, and rich fanciful original art by Rita Spalding.

Master Bathroom & Closet db interiors, llc

AREA DESCRIPTION The original master bath and closet needed an update, and the homeowners’ “must have” was to add a soaking tub. To do so, a sink in the closet area was removed, and a full-height wall was added in the master closet, separating the new closet layout and new combined two-sink and soaking tub area. The second sink in the original bathroom was removed to add custom cabinets for storage. The master bath design includes white Carrara marble tile throughout in a herringbone pattern on the floor, adding a clean, simple yet glamorous design.

Room for Two

compass design, llc

AREA DESCRIPTION “Room for Two” is a space for two young girls to share. The feel is light and airy, bringing a fresh vibe, while also keeping the feel of the home in mind. The beautiful original windows are accented with simple drapery, while clean-cut canopies above each bed give a separation of space for each girl. Custom wallpapered desks allow each girl to have a space for studying, with dramatic diptych commissioned art above. Whimsy and fun are introduced in the fabrics with hues of navy, purple, and mulberry. Navy-painted Jenny Lind headboards with modern sconces overhead showcase a modern-traditional mix.

Under the Sea chatham home

AREA DESCRIPTION The designers of Chatham Home believe that every room should have a little whimsy, and the second floor children’s bathroom has it in spades. The historic blue wall color was chosen to create a timeless look, while also highlighting the original tile and supporting the designers’ aquatic theme. Accessories were added to enhance the feeling of being under the sea, with the indoor-outdoor rug mimicking the look of water, and the shower curtain adding a little tongue-in-cheek humor to the space. The ceiling light also has a nautical feel and is complemented by the bronze vanity light and bathroom fixtures.

DELTA The sophisticated design of the Delta® Olmsted™ Bath Collection, shown in Venetian Bronze® finish, features geometric styling with a hint of traditional flare. Olmsted bath faucets flow at a water-saving rate of 1.2 gpm and are WaterSense® labeled.

AREA DESCRIPTION This once dark, disregarded stairway has been reimagined as a seductive, sparkling entryway to the third floor. Improvements include a bookcase in the landing wall, plush wool carpet, metallic wood finishes, leather trims, crystal chandelier, and LED casework lighting with touch controls. The stair was added during a mid-century remodel of the 1923 home, so I was inspired to translate the original Arts and Crafts style in a timeless, modern way. Soothing colors and luxurious textures beckon you upstairs.

The Craft Room

AREA DESCRIPTION To create the ideal craft room, you first need organization, next function, and then style.

Everything in its place eliminates the frustration of looking for supplies hidden around the house. A large skirted island allows a great space to wrap gifts, sketch, and work on crafts. Fine Painting has painted the room in a crisp white with a grey trim that pulls the colors from the fabrics in the room. A great craft room lets your creative side have room to grow.

Serenity Bath ty interiors

AREA DESCRIPTION This small bath started with some good elements. That being said, we kept the original tub and used a timeless paint finish on the exterior to bring it back to life. The windows and their view also made this bath very appealing. Putting in new marble flooring, new sink vanity, and new toilet totally gave this space the facelift it needed.

The wall colors chosen were meant to give this bath a calming and lighter feel. The new faucets and hardware accessories are in keeping with the overall look of the space.

BRIZO The Rook® widespread lavatory faucet with channel spout and cross handles in Polished Chrome finish is a modern interpretation of a stately aesthetic.

Sconces, a mirror and accessories from the Charlotte® Bath Collection by Brizo® complement the classic design.

3rd Floor Guest Bedroom

susan colvin interiors

15

AREA DESCRIPTION This third floor guest bedroom has its challenges. The ceiling height is less than 8 feet, and the space is small for a bed. Susan chose a full-size bed with a low headboard and footboard and painted it the color of the walls. This is a design technique she has used before. It makes the bed more minimal and less overwhelming for the room. Susan has highlighted the art, bedding, and other elements. The chair adds comfort for the guest, and the lingerie chest has just the right amount of storage.

Lower Level Stairs & Creative Nook

AREA DESCRIPTION Creating a cozy artist’s nook at the bottom of the stairs was my inspiration for this project.

Adding new carpet and fresh paint on the stairs and walls lightened up the area. An accent wall by the Faux Divas brought the landing to life and provided a beautiful backdrop to display art.

Privacy and warmth were added by a roman shade over the door window. The arts can be pursued in the creative nook at the bottom of the stairs. After working on a project, one can relax on the plush rug and pillows under the stairs to recharge.

The Blasted Hallway silver crow studios

AREA DESCRIPTION This hallway is one of the areas that still captures the raw integrity of the Vonnegut home with the exposed, painted concrete block and the original concrete floors. When the wine cellar was added, drywall was installed and created a contradiction to the integrity of the hallway. As artists, our objective was to create “original” brick walls and bring back that raw aesthetic that was compromised. The concrete floors were enhanced with a hand-crafted, artisan technique that is reminiscent of the German influences.

Lower Level Lounge

kittle’s design studio

AREA DESCRIPTION The inspiration came from the original pieces of contemporary art scattered throughout the home on the initial walk-through. The primary colors on the white background were perfect for the blank canvas of the lower level. The mustard contemporary sectional, blue fireplace, and colorful art and accessories fill that canvas with color. The open ceiling, pipes, concrete walls and floor, and minimalist fireplace inspire a raw industrial feel, which is played up with the metal bookshelves and raw wood console.

Powder Room

constance vinson interiors

22

AREA DESCRIPTION This room was originally painted with a textured, ombre metallic paint and had a contemporary overhead light fixture.

Inspired by the room’s small size, my vision was to create a jewel box with wallpaper that spoke to the past in a modern relatable manner. The metallic features in the wallpaper influenced my use of metallic accents, such as the Roman shade, the bronze sconces, and the metal-framed mirror. The dark wallpaper contrasts beautifully with the capiz shell pendant. Unfortunately, the wall tile had been painted over some years ago. I refreshed it with a coat of white paint.

BRIZO Combining modern sophistication with hints of art deco styling, the Virage® light sconces in Brilliance® Brushed Bronze finish feature a uniquely elegant form that adapts to almost any environment.

Die neue Küche (The New Kitchen) kitchens by design

23

AREA DESCRIPTION Our concept was to create a modern, functional kitchen that also references the history of the house and recognizes the German heritage of the Vonnegut family. The monochromatic, minimal direction was inspired by current movements in contemporary German and English kitchen design. Except for the La Cornu CornuFé range, German-made appliances are featured. Materials reflect period style: painted, flat-panel cabinetry, soapstone countertops, walnut-topped work table, and reintroduction of the leaded glass windows. The range hood is one example of our theme; it simultaneously represents an old kitchen chimney and repeats the minimal form of the living room’s minstrel gallery.

BRIZO The Artesso® Kitchen Collection by Brizo® in Brilliance® Stainless finish offers a refined take on the industrial aesthetic. Featuring SmartTouch® Technology, the articulating pull-down faucet was designed to bring greater versatility to common kitchen tasks. The traditional pot filler in Brilliance® Brushed Bronze finish provides twice the flow rate of standard kitchen faucets, making it easy to fill large cooking vessels quickly.

AREA DESCRIPTION The Breakfast Room is simply an extension of the newly renovated kitchen. The existing built-in hutch was decoratively painted by David Studley of Silver Crow Studios to match the finish on the kitchen island. An organic spiked light fixture complements the hanging pendants in the adjacent room. A glass-top table keeps the room open and showcases the wonderful Rookwood tile, which is original to the home. A splash of heather in the chair fabric softens the saturation of the floor tile. Dinnerware is Juliska’s Mist Grey Crackle Collection, a sophisticated new glaze, combined with the textured Carine glassware provided by tableware design expert Claudia Ryan of Charles Mayer & Company.

AREA DESCRIPTION Dramatic, yet inviting, the mud room was designed for functionality and inspired by Kurt Vonnegut.

Back Porch the empty vase

AREA DESCRIPTION Public and private residential entries offer exiting design challenges. The Vonnegut home’s charming entry is accented by a welcoming bench. Atop, a lush garden basket of colorful flowers and foliages serves as natures living jewelry. The private rear entry offers a covered space for a petite garden workbench for potting and flower cutting. A light neutral paint scheme throughout evokes a traditional color palette that is also fresh and modern.

Respect for the historic nature of the home and surrounding landscape is essential for a timeless and lasting design.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER At The Empty Vase, we are passionate about unique exterior sculptures and architecture. Providing vintage and contemporary outdoor pots, statuary, and décor, with respect for architectural traditions, as well as trends, is at the heart of their mission. Because of the Vonnegut home’s petite exterior entries, specificity and simplicity were paramount in David Strohmeyer’s design. Each area must not only function and withstand whatever weather prevails, but it must also draw visitors and inhabitants through a threshold that is warm and welcoming

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild is often asked, “how is a home selected to be a show house?”

The process of selecting a home to be transformed into the Decorators’ Show House and Gardens begins almost two years prior to the opening of the house for public tours. Ideas for potential Show Houses come from interested homeowners, real estate agents, surveys of desired neighborhoods, and other contacts in the community. To be selected, a home must be spacious enough to accommodate multiple design areas, have front and back staircases, a lawn large enough for a large party tent, and be of sufficient interest and character to attract the public.

The event is not a custom decorating service for homeowners; a successful Show House exhibits examples of many designers’ creativity.

Designers are given freedom of expression in their areas, although there are guidelines for reasonable adaptations to color schemes and themes that flow from room to room. A Design Board made up of selected designers and Guild chairs oversees area selection and design proposals.

Contractors and supply houses may participate in the event by donating or discounting

goods and services of a permanent nature to the homeowners, in exchange for the publicity and advertising value of being part of the Decorators’ Show House and Gardens. Opportunities vary from year to year, but have included kitchen remodeling, cabinets, faucets and fixtures, appliances, and alarm systems. Agreements for these items are made between the homeowners and contractors; the Guild does not enter into price negotiations or actual building.

Homeowners are responsible for paying designers for any furnishings they wish to purchase at the close of the event. These items may include draperies, blinds, light fixtures, furniture, accessories, carpets and rugs, and landscape plantings.

Homeowners are not obligated to purchase anything from designers, but most consider it a good opportunity to make purchases.

It is most rewarding to be part of the longest, continuously running Show House in the country and raise funds for an excellent cause —Eskenazi Health.
