The Spirit of a True Craftsman
It began with a 1921 California bungalow restoration. When he couldn’t afford original Arts and Crafts pieces, Warren Hile decided to build them. A Spindle Morris chair, his first reproduction, spent less than a week in the house before an antiques dealer friend begged to buy it. Word spread, and so, in the basement of his bungalow in Sierra Madre, Calif., Warren Hile Studio was born. To learn how Warren can bring the Arts and Crafts aesthetic to your home, or to browse a variety of styles, call or visit the website.

South by Southwest
Inspired by the archives of Gustav Stickley, this unique Southwestern collection of hand-knotted rugs from Tiger Rug features the muted palette of the Southwest—the perfect setting for your Mission pieces. The Native American influence and natural beauty evoke calm and serenity, bringing a peaceful element to your home. The wool in every Tiger Rug comes from Tibetan sheep grazing high in the Himalyayan Mountains. The high altitude produces a wool with a high lanolin content, resulting in rugs that are more stain resistant and softer to the touch. To see more Arts and Crafts–inspired rugs or other style collections, visit the website.
