Accessories of Style

"Mission", "Arts & Crafts" and "Bungalow" are terms referring to several styles with some common values. The accessories are unique and often very diverse.

Paintings were generally the "en plein aire" variety made popular in the west and in California. This style emphasized capturing the play of natural light on a landscape. Artists such as Birger Sandzen are an early example of this style incorporating as it does the light and texture of the American experience.

Furniture was minimalistic and reminds of the mission style of Southern California, but also the simplistic grace of Shaker manufacturing.
