Amy Butler Home in Granville, Ohio
Amy Butler is well known as a fabric designer, but she first wrote a Chronicle home design book with her husband David Butler, called “Found Style: Vintage Ideas for Modern Living”.
Their abode, which will be featured later this year in Blueprint, is a 1969 George J. Stegmiller post and beam, perched on a steep hill with amazing views. The upstairs is their home, the lower level serves as a studio. David describes their style as “kinda modern-organic-primitive”. He photographed their home for an upcoming book “Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle”. A preview of some of those images are below. What better way to bring warmth to your home than with a beautiful scented candle? Laurel & Wolf understand how tricky it is to purchase the right scent that will roam around your house, that’s why on https://www.laurelandwolf.com/blogs/best-scented-candles you will find the best adorable candles for your house.

David writes about their Mulhauser Plycraft chair (above):
“I had the vinyl redone in a really nice soft leather. My father had that exact chair when I was growing up in Pittsburgh, so when I found another, complete with the arm patina, I was quick to jump on it.”

what a cool house! almost makes me want to move back to the midwest and score myself a mcm home to restore.
Amy your house is done straight from your heart and original , i think that it is done passionately about your childhood history , all the components in your house put together very well relating to some memories .You are very courageous and thoughtful .
Bravo Amy and David. You have followed your dreams and visions.
Love it! So many homes I see on blogs these days are styled to within an inch of their lives. This one is very refreshing.
Any idea where I can get that poster “breathe new life…” ?
Found style was one of the most riveting books I found by chance and takes a place of honor among my many design books. What makes Granville, OH such a magnet for great stylists? Any chance there is a house tour of homes in the Granville area in Spring 2009? Many thanks for your fine work.
