Heidi Caillier brought a tasteful touch of pattern and texture to the 1910 home
Even though I don't really need to do much more research, I seem to be addicted to downloading books from Internet Archive. I really am a research junky. I guess I may as well put all this research energy to good use by sharing some of the good stuff I've found.

Association, 1929 These three wardrobes are from the Morgan Millwork catalog (1921) I shared a couple days ago. These 5 pages about Closets and Wardrobes are from the book What Makes the House Beautiful: A Collection of Building Details and Measured Drawings, published in 1920 by Henrietta C. Peabody. And three more from various sources. From the Curtis Cabinet and Stair Work catalog, 1927. From an Ideal Built-In Furniture catalog, c. 1920 From a Sears Honor Bilt Building Materials catalog, 1930.
