The couple's display of cast-iron and enameled pans climbs the wall behind the kitchen's 1933 stove.
Built in 1932 as the prototype for a planned community on Lake Michigan, the Heisters' home came with a jumble of Old Hickory furniture—antiques that today carry an impressive appraisal. Instead of fighting the lodge vibe, Mark and Linda embraced it, tweaking things here and there to suit their style.
In this photo: Linda painted the master bedroom's 1930s maple bed and dresser black, then "aged" them with a sanding block.
White pottery finds sharp contrast in the black ledges Mark built for the master bedroom. The wall is painted Granny Smith White by Glidden.
Amid extreme contrasting colors, judicious hits of green, red, and yellow offer the design equivalent of a knowing grin. The basic, primary color scheme also has practical benefits. "Mark taught me that if you stick to one limited color palette, you can easily swap things from room to room," explains Linda, who claims she's in charge of "procurement, grunt work, and fetching," while her husband is the visionary of the operation.
In this photo: Mark partitioned a section of the basement to create space for a bathroom. He constructed the shelf beneath the mirror from fragments of an old dresser; hard-wearing Rust-Oleum paint (the wall is painted White, while the chest is Hunter Green) unifies both pieces with the flea-market chest below.
