The white house with a red roof is well-known in Memphis. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. An attractive house is even more lovely when the owners are delightful; that is certainly the case here. Located near an intersection of prominent residential streets in an established neighborhood, the house was built in 1994 in the far reaches of the deep garden of a stately home on the corner. To those who do not know the homeowners, it is known as the white house with a red roof. An exterior view of the entrance. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. A few years ago, The Devoted Classicist was fortunate to meet the homeowners, Dr. Randy and Linda Kay McCloy. The McCloys bought the house mid-construction, being built on speculation by Hank Hill using a set of plans by Looney Ricks Kiss, a firm known for its successful series of house plans sold through Southern Living magazine. They were able to personalize the house by making a few changes and specifying some custom detailing with the help of J. Carson Looney. The original landscaping was designed by long-time friend Ben Page of the Nashville firm now called Page Duke. The Entrance Hall looking back towards the front door. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. Linda Kay McCloy has owned a retail antiques and home furnishings store (as well as an interior design practice that is still active), and has travelled to England for the past twenty-five years on buying trips. She had become enthralled with the decorating style of John Fowler, the designer whose work was the hallmark of the English country house style, but also Sister Parish, whose work epitomized the comfortable American version of the style. The Living Room. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. The colors of the decorating schemes were inspired by the gardens, both front and back. Balancing strongly colored rooms against others pastel colored, patterns and textures of the fabrics are mixed with furnishings of various styles and pedigrees to create a casual elegance. It is the mix that makes it all such a success. The Dining Room. Swedish Rococo chairs are now used for seating. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. The decorative painting was done by Richard Martin, an artist whose work is often featured in Mrs. McCloy's decorating jobs. Martin paints furniture as well as walls and trim. The chimneypiece in the Living Room features a portrait he painted of the house. The painted wood valances in the Dining Room were presented as a house-warming gift. Across from the entrance to the Dining Room, a small painted folding screen is placed above the sideboard. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. Following Sister Parish's fondness for the hand-crafted, quilts and afghans are liberally dispersed among both slip-covered and serious furniture. A colorful and cozy Study is located just off the Entrance Hall. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda. And reflecting John Fowler's taste for mixing "high" and "low", such as lavish curtains contrasting with simple furnishings, eccentric colors contribute to the "humble elegance" like Fowler created for himself.

Here, the designer has interpreted the style with an excellent curator's eye, displaying unique objects of porcelain, needlework, and tole.

Since this time, there have been some refinements to make the interior even more charming. The Master Bedroom. Photo by David Schilling for Veranda.

Additional improvements by Hector Alexander Samada and John Tackett have been designed but not yet realized; hopefully these will be eventually be shown in a future Part II post of The Devoted Classicist.

I love this one ... There's something addictive about these images. Maurice Day was the artist commissioned by Walt Disney to capture the images of Day's native Maine. He provided the Hollywood animators with the design inspiration for Bambi, who was based on the white-tailed Maine deer Day sent back to Disney in sketches.

When March finally arrives, I'm relieved that the January and February months are finally behind me. I love the seasons here in Utah, but after December I do not look forward to the long upcoming two months. March gets my mind thinking of France and the essence of Provence. I was looking at some gorgeous pictures of Provence in the book Provence Style of Living. This is the one book that deepens my love for the region and today I wanted to share all its charm and beauty. 'On the way down to the village from my windmill, one passes by a mas, built close to the road, within a courtyard lined with nettle trees. This is a real Provencal dwelling, with its red roof tiles, its broad, brown facade dotted with windows and, perched on the top, the weather vane of the graneary [...].' -Aphonse Daudet ' In the middle of the square an old fountain spread its stomach. [...] Four marble-cheeked cherubs with distended mouths blew pipes - but the water didn't flow. Nevertheless, the fountain was full of clear water; its riches spilling over onto the paving stones.' -Jean Giono In the 18th century, master plumbers and hydraulic engineers designed complex underground water systems that allowed the water to flow to Provencal country estates, here creating this gorgeous pool. The idea that the water in these pools come from natural springs sounds so refreshing. My favorite style is that of the Provencal home. The rooms, furniture, and fireplaces all have their own story. ' [...] these houses reveal harmonious stairways and rooms where the old Provencal way of life under its kings is almost intact. And all that silence, those proportions, those handsome, hidden rooms, suited to a life of study, even idleness, should one choose it, exude order, the wisdom of lives in balance.' -Andre Suares ' The big bare was waiting on an earthenware plate. [...] Honore had packed it with a stuffing in the style of his own region, doing something magical with fresh herbs from the garden and from the mountain.' -Jean Giono Maisons Cote Sud's Provence Style of Living is the perfect book to have in one's library!
