An Eastlake washstand, a quintessential piece of furniture in every 1800s home, now serves as a bedside table. Above it, I prominently display a photograph of my great-grandparents.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING BY COURTNEY VETTEL
Intricate spoon carvings; deep, rich oak and cherry tones; and beautifully well-built furniture are all characteristics of a style of furniture called Eastlake. This style has a special place in my heart, as it has been sprouting up in almost every room in our restorations of our 1880 Folk Victorian home.
