This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

We explore the new custom windows, featuring interiors made of cherry wood and true divided lights. Next, we connect with landscape architect Susan Van Atta, who presents her design plan for a historically sensitive landscape, incorporating California's native plants. Our host then meets Paul Duchscherer, a design expert and author of three books on the Arts-and-Crafts movement. He has been brought on board to ensure that the new colors, finishes, and decorative elements align with the home's historical character. Duchscherer later guides us to nearby Ojai, where we tour an exquisite Greene and Greene home that embodies the American Arts-and-Crafts style.
