Did
you
know
Anchor Hocking Glass
Company was the
largest producer of
jadeite. They
created the popular
Fire King line.
HISTORY
The three main manufacturers of jadeite were
McKee, Jeannette and Anchor Hocking Glass
Company, says Diane Sedo, a jadeite collector
and owner of Sentimental Celebrations. Each
created a signature line that collectors now
readily snatch up. McKee and Jeannette are
known for making kitchen pieces like reamers,
bowls, spice jars and dishware. As the largest
producer of jadeite, Anchor Hocking created
inexpensive and utilitarian restaurant ware
that was used in diners, schools and hospitals,
she says.
MAKERS MARK
Cathie Caldwell from the Chapman Avenue
Antique Mall in Orange, California, has been
collecting jadeite for 49 years. She says most
authentic jadeite will feature a stamp from its
maker on the bottom and will sport the
distinctive signature color. Knowing your product
will help you compile your collection, as not all of
the older or more rare pieces will have a stamp.
Books and online research will help determine
the age. Having a piece appraised can also help
track down the manufacturer or line.
An example of an original without a stamp,
this hen on nest egg dish has been assessed
as an original but the maker is yet unknown.
Martha Stewart helped make jadeite more
collectable when she used it in her magazines
and cooking show, Diane says. She also
reproduced some piecesincluding the hen
on nest dish from old molds and sold them in
her Martha by Mail catalog. The pieces are
marked MSM.

Polka dots are the perfect
pattern to mix and match with
other designs. Their small,
simple scale and graphic neat-
ness pairs easily with floral,
plaid and almost any other
motif. Use it as a layering piece
for your bed set.
2|
Can you combine more than
one polka dot pattern in the
same room? Sure! Simply make
sure you balance the two by
choosing a small scale and a
larger scale to give one
pattern a dominant presence
in the room.

Incorporate solids to balance
the look. Bright-red and
vintage-toned beige toolboxes
help ground the design with
solid color. A powder-blue
throw also helps balance the
distribution of pattern in the
room.

Small details tie it all together.

OMMA WORKSHOP OWNER KERRY
Larkin has taken her familys
tradition of quilting, passed down
by her great-grandmother, and
put her own modern twist on it by
stitching poems and phrases into
quilts, pillows and tea towels.
Ive always been fascinated with words,
Kerry says. I love the idea of being enveloped
in words. Quilts already have so much
meaning and tradition; the words just make it
warm and homey.
Words, rather than leaf or flower patterns,
are the designs of the quilts made by Kerry and
her team, and while the quilts can be hung on
walls, Kerry prefers they be considered
cherished functional pieces, enjoyed by
generations to come.
I like draping quilts over ladders so people
can only glimpse the text, Kerry says. I want
people to pull them down and engage with
the words.
Kerry recommends setting stacks of quilts
vintage mixed in with contemporary styles
on side tables where guests can pull one over
themselves when the weather turns chilly.

My clients picked the wall color, and
it was perfect to [visually] push the
room out and accent the beauty of the
pine floors, white paint and mahogany,
she says.
Since this is not a full-time kitchen
and she wanted to keep the costs down,
Sarah chose a minimum of lighting. We
kept the pendant light in the center of
the space and the window lights the
sink. Sarah says. There is also a lamp by
the stove. We didnt want to get into a
lot of new wiring.
The owners are thrilled with their
bonus kitchen. This is the hus-
bands office, and he uses it
all the time, Sarah says.
I smile when I think of the
moment that I decided to
cobble it all together, she says.
Creating this kitchen was like
making an amazing dinner out of
leftovers or like making a quilt.
The whole space is a tale
in repurposing.

ADDING COLOR
IN A NEUTRAL -TONED
HOME
Although Adriana stuck to a natural
tone in the walls and furniture of her
home, she doesnt shy away from color
in other ways.
Showing your personality through small
things like flowers, pillows and
accessories is an easy way to add color
without committing to something as
permanent as a sofa or paint, she says.
Smaller pieces of furniture, like an
ottoman or accent chair, are fun ways
to add color or pattern as well without
overtaking the entire room.

While Clare and Ian chose the area
because they longed for a change of
pace, they still wound up in a turn-of-
the-century house. The six-bedroom,
double-fronted Victorian contained
similar elements as their old brown-
stone: exposed brick walls, knotty
pine floors and elegant archways and
molding. However, the couple chose
to paint all the walls white for a clean,
fresh canvas. They also consulted
professionals about how to adapt the
architecture for their busy young
family. They contacted Architect Your
Home (architect-yourhome.com) to
see if they could come up with some
original ideas that they might not
have thought of. It was great, Clare
says. We wanted some ideas about

Because this is the master bedroom of a weekend house for
a pair of busy New Yorkers, we wanted this to be a cozy
retreat. We used soft, serene colors and luxurious, warm
fabrics, everything needed to be comfy and inviting, says
designer Tom Riker, of jamesthomas.
This welcoming space offers a traditional feel with a few
unexpected elements. Hanging light fixtures over each of the
nightstands gives a new look to a bedroom staple, while an
antique suzani textile add both color and personality. Layers
of bedding and large nightstands give the space a homey feel.
The tongue-and-groove wall treatment is a perfect backdrop
to the classic iron bed and accompanying curved nightstand.

Welcoming retreat
Blend tradition with nature for a classic look that will encourage relaxation
and rejuvenation.
The plank-board finish used on the walls, vaulted ceiling, built-in headboard
and shelving evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the natural stains and light tones
of the fabrics bring in a sense of freshness and modernity, says Susan Jauregui
of Jauregui Architecture Interiors Construction.
The space brings the best parts of nature indoors by using a natural color
palette and allowing wood grains to stand out against the whitewashed walls.
MAKE IT YOURS:
A minimal color palette allows the eye to rest, an essential element for a
soothing retreat. Pull in hints of color on accent pieces and let nature
be your guide.
Use bookcases to display a simple collection of like-colored items.

Thrifty-Chic
DCOR
Limitless styles on a limited budget.
BY SARAH JANE OKEEFE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SIMON BROWN
CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC
Thrifty chic does not have to mean
Bohemian or scruffy, the authors write. This
living space shows how thrifty style can be
used to design a confidently contemporary
and well-edited room.
To get the look, juxtapose modern and
vintage for a touch of sophistication with an
edge. Here, a secondhand Charles Eames
coffee table is paired with traditional French
chairs, while a unique ottoman contrasts its
neighboring mirrored table.
Liz and Alexandria recommend second-
hand sofas and chairs as a great way to drive
down the price of a room, but theres a
caveat. Rethink the temptation to reupholster
an inexpensive sofa as this professional
service can cost half that of a new piece.
Otherwise, slipcovers, pillows and throws
add new life to old pieces.
COUNTRY COOL
For country charm, a workhorse of a
table is a necessity. Look for pieces at
antique and thrift stores as well as in your
own backyard. This teak table was
originally in the garden, but with a little
TLC was transformed into an indoor
treasure. Mismatched chairs add to the
rooms easy country feel.
Give your kitchen a welcoming feel by
revamping the cupboards and displaying
collectibles. An array of flea-market finds
and mismatched dinnerware look
perfectly at home on cupboards and
shelving original to the 1930s kitchen
that were given a new life with a fresh
coat of white paint.
Painting cupboards the same color as

RETRO BATH
Classic. Simple. Bargain savvy. This retro
bath features what may seem like expensive
staples, but not to the thrifty. Look for
marble or other stone-topped tables at
vintage stores. They offer stylish storage and
plenty of character. Here, a metal find
becomes an ideal spot for bath necessities.

Other ways to bring retro styling into your
thrifty bath include antique mirrors and
simple accessories. Here, a mirror over the
bathtub gives the illusion of more space,
while specially formulated bathroom paint

safe and cost-effective option.
