The Deutsches' guestroom
{right), joyously fresh and
romantic as an Edwardian'
belle's peignoir, is a nos
talgic flurry of broderie
anglaise, used to curtain
windows in old-fashioned
fullness and puddle on the
floor as draperies used to
in the old days. The fabric
is Fieldcrest's luxurious em
broidery-flounced sheeting.
It is shirred and stretched as
a tester over a queen-size
faux-brass canopy bed from
Drexel's Et Cetera collection,
tied at each post in a stylish,
out-sized bowknot. Walls in
palest beige, patterned like
a past generation's watered
silk, are 'Moire," a vinyl
covering by Hinson. Ceiling
is tinted blue/white, the
rug a pretty piecing of white-
and-blue Karastan carpet
ing. The easy chair is by
Heritage and the triple dres
ser {inset right) from the
Crosswind group by Drexel.
The study {above), which is
also a sewing room for Mrs.
Deutsch, focuses on a turn-
of-the-century, wood-and-
tile fireplace. Pomegranate
on chairs and French doors
{below) invite living and the
room has an amazing aura
of having been lived in for
many years. Its furniture,
all new, even to the slant-
top desk and cheval glass,
both from Heritage, looks as
if it had been gradually
collected. The cheval glass
plays a real role when the
louvered doors are opened
and sewing equipment is
brought out into the room.
The carpet is by Karastan.
