Go west and the farmhouses of the Ohio Valley turned into whole communities of Sears craftsman houses, where the Mission and Arts and Crafts styles are right at home. The style continues but gets ever more rustic as you head into the mountains. By the time you hit L.A., few vestiges of east coast tradition remain. Arizona and New Mexico have their own style vernacular, as do Florida, New Orleans and Hawaii. “What a country!”
America, truly, is a place where anything is possible and you really can have it all. Half the fun is in the discovery. Happy travels!
Is it okay to put arts and crafts furniture in a more traditional styled home? I like the room shown in the photo but I’m unsure if it would be the right look for my home.

Someone told me about a house that was on the Glen Ellyn housewalk this spring that was traditional, light and airy — not surroundings you would expect to see with Mission furniture. Since I didn’t see it myself I can’t comment directly but my friend said Mission looked really great in that setting. I don’t think it has to be in a typical Arts & Crafts house.

Arts and Crafts can look awesome in a traditional setting — even mixed with traditional furniture in some cases. The lines are typically very simple and will give a more casual feel, so blending it with rural antiques or English country looks can be very successful.
The Glen Ellyn housewalk did include a newly constructed, traditional style home that featured some fabulous antiques. I mostly recall the beautiful collections of quilts and antique accessories, but Mission furniture would certainly have been right at home, even though the architecture was more reminiscent of Nantucket than Frank Lloyd Wright.
The broad range of finishes available also make Mission pieces much more versatile than you might think. Have fun!
