"Capturing Traditions\nGeorgian Details and a Collection of Americana Lend a Period Feel to a New Residence\nFor a couple with a wide-ranging collection of American antiques and folk art, architect Patrick J. Burke and interior designer David Guilmet created an 18th-century-style house on farmland in New Jersey. The fieldstone barn, which serves as the guesthouse, \"is supposed to look like an addition to a period house,\" says Guilmet, who contributed to the architecture.\nA gallery off the entrance hall displays a circa 1840 theorem painting and a circa 1835 portrait.\nIn the living room, as throughout, \"paneled walls add period detail,\" says Guilmet. He did extensive research into 18th-century American interiors to ensure architectural authenticity. The New Hampshire highboy is 18th century. The painting of the O. M. Pettit is by James Bard. Schumacher sofa and drapery damask, with Scalamandr\u00E9 trim. Brunschwig Fils wing chair and sofa fabrics. Lee Jofa pillow crewel.\n\"The approach in every room was to provide a backdrop for the antiques and art,\" Guilmet says. \"Even the palette was kept simple.\" A late-19th-century heart-in-hand staff is in the paneled library. Avery Boardman sofa, with Manuel Canovas fabric.\nThe formal dining room has a portrait by Sturtevant J. Hamblin. Lee Jofa chair fabric. Brunschwig Fils drapery fabric, with Scalamandr\u00E9 trim.\n\"The rest of the house is high-style country,\" says Guilmet, who worked closely with the wife on the design, \"but the great room is a bit more casual.\" The hand-hewn beams are 18th century; the tin chandelier, the bench table and the horse-and-plow weathervane are all mid-19th century. Ralph Lauren Home sofas, with Scalamandr\u00E9 fabric.\nThe wallcovering in the master bedroom \"makes it feel cozy without making it dark.\" The cherry corner cabinet, circa 1820, holds a collection of mid-19th-century Pennsylvanian tinware. The New England hooked rug on the wall is also 19th century. Schumacher sofa, bed hanging and drapery fabrics. Ralph Lauren Home bed ticking. Brunschwig Fils plaid.\nThe pool pavilion is a copy of an outbuilding in Williamsburg, Virginia."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
