Natural Fit

Foyer, Powder Room & Mudroom
Kathy Patton, Kathy Patton Designs

Upon seeing the pine tree forest and the home’s wood floors during her first site visit to the 2025 Burton Showhouse, Kathy Patton instantly thought of Waterhouse Wallhangings’ Pine Needles fabric and wallpaper. The pattern’s ivory colorway was a natural fit to balance the powder room’s dark wood accent wall. The woodland motif is echoed as a custom sink skirt, concealing plumbing and storage with a hint of retro-leaning charm. In the adjacent mudroom, Patton took the playful route with a cabana-like green stripe awning above the window. The fun continues into the foyer, where colorful art canvases are layered over a smaller-print wallpaper, an antique English dresser, and goldenrod-hued lamps, for a cottage feel. Says Patton, “The whimsical paintings give life to what summer at the lake is all about—dogs, boathouses, Adirondack chairs, boats, and children running free on bicycles.”
