Jessica’s Vintage House – A Real Find For Sale

by Friday Shamblen on June 5, 2010

Picture Wisconsin: long drives through pastoral beauty, friendly people, and eclectic cities full of music and good food. Oh, and then there’s the polka—spend an idyllic Wisconsin summer evening under the stars dancing polka with your loved one and you’ll never want to leave. [Schmaltz noted.]

That’s the setting for Jessica Dennis’ beautiful home. Jessica is not only our PR executive, but she is also our customer. She was kind enough to send on pictures of her dining room light recently. She also mentioned that her home was for sale, but she was keeping the light for her new home. A serious compliment.

I had a chance to browse the pictures of her lovely home, and fell in love with her darling vintage Appleton Bungalow.  I love the mix of old and new, and it is in beautiful shape. Built in the 1930s, renovated, and in a tree-lined Appleton neighborhood, this is, for me, an ideal home.

If you’re close to Appleton and are in the market for a home—or know of someone who is—take a look at Jessica’s full set of pictures here and here.  If you’re lucky enough to buy it, go dance a polka under the stars to celebrate. [Again with the Schmaltz?]

Now, on to my favorite pictures of Jessica’s house:

Love the orange shutters and gray trim

Beautiful sitting area as well

Gorgeous Master Suite

A sweet and comfortable kitchen - the Green really works well! LOVE it!

Large Dining Room with phone nook (Our Pendant Light over Table)

Jessica designed her pendant light in Dinner Damask from Jules Davis. Jules is so talented, and the pendant light is just perfect. The mix of the modern shape, the nod to classic Damask, the inventiveness of Jules’ forks-and-spoons motif—everything works just perfectly in Jessica’s vintage-yet-contemporary home.

[I think the new owners should get the lamp, and we'll arrange for a new one as a housewarming gift in Jessica's new space. ]
