This floorcloth design is based on a pattern sketched by noted historian, William Seale, for the Field House Museum in Missouri.  Stencils were created based on the sketch. 

This pattern is based on original linoleum found in a bathroom of the Hindry House in Pasadena, c1910. The Hindry House is an exceptional example of the work of master architects Arthur and Alfred Heineman, who were influential in the development of the Craftsman style in California, and across the country.

The linoleum pattern was found in many catalogs of the era, although this pattern differs from all available records in that the motifs are spaced at seven diamonds apart, vs. the standard of four, and three colors are used in the pattern, vs. two. 

We did several takes on the pattern for the three bathrooms in this authentically restored house on the National Register of Historic Places.

This pattern was originally developed for Portland, OR, clients and is based on both the leaded glass design adorning some of the original windows in their 1907 home and the "bee and dot" fabric used in their kitchen nook upholstery.

This pattern is from John Carwitham's 1739 book, Various Kinds of Floor Decorations.  The pattern was chosen for the entry and back hall of the Bedford House, the main residence at the John Jay Homestead in Katonah, New York, which is currently undergoing renovation. 

John Jay occupied the house from 1801, upon his retirement,  to 1829 when he died.  Of all the Founding Fathers, no other filled so many high offices. John Jay served the State of New York as a principal author of its first constitution in 1777, and as its first Chief Justice. He served the nation as President of the Second Continental Congress, Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain during the Revolutionary War, and Secretary for Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation. He was author and key negotiator, with Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolution. With Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, he wrote the Federalist Papers, arguing for adoption of the United States Constitution. After the ratification of the Constitution, President Washington appointed Jay the first Chief Justice of the United States.
