Inspired by the notion of a “full time laundress” (as recounted in the Courier Journal’s article about the home’s first occupants), Blue Skies designers whimsically reveal a portrait from Dutch master Johannes Vermeer behind a crumbling stucco wall. The room’s built-in linen press and cupboards are gracefully aged and overflow with gorgeous vintage linens.

A trompe l’oeil puddle spills from an overturned bucket across a painted flagstone/brick floor cloth.


On the windows simple hand painted cotton panels mimic the oak-leaf motif found in the stained glass throughout the house.
