My husband and I took a four-hour road trip to Richmond on a crisp, fall-like Sunday to view Mary Douglas Drysdale\u2019s room in the RSOL Designer Show House.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived early to meet Mary there so we could take some pictures.\u00a0 Getting there before it opened to the public, allowed us to meet the day crew captain and volunteer staff and help them by turning on all of the lights in all of the rooms. There were so many rooms, that I lost count.<\/p>\n<p>You could tell it\u2019s an older house, come to life with all the renovated interior design, partly because of the \u201cold school\u201d punch light switches. Georgie, the caged finch in the Morning Hall, which was designed by Karen Farrow and Jonathan Williams, was chirping away, happy to be greeting people. There was some necessary vacuuming and then before we knew it the house was abuzz with visitors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4471\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Rothesay-back_0046_casartblog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4471 size-full\" title=\"RSO_Rothesay-back_0046_casartblog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Rothesay-back_0046_casartblog.jpg\" alt=\"RSOL Rothesay back decorator show house on casartblog\" width=\"468\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Rothesay-back_0046_casartblog.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Rothesay-back_0046_casartblog-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Back view of Rothesay.

However, the original house looked quite different, complete with a large tower at the entrance. It was built by Jonathan Bryan in 1913, brother of\u00a0 John Stewart Bryan a newspaper publisher, and named for their grandfather\u2019s hometown in the Isle of Bute in Scotland. Family friend, Charles Gillette, a well known landscape architect completed the landscape design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After his brother\u2019s death in 1933, John Stewart Bryan sold the house to Edward and Isabel Anderson. Isabel, herself an accomplished pianist, was also one of the founding members and patrons of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, so it is very fitting that her house is a part of this designer tradition today for the RSOL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is her son, George and his English born wife, Anne, who presently hold ownership of the house and their daughter, Randy Trainor, coincidentally enough, is the interior designer who\u2019s work is in the library. Music evidently was constant while growing up through generations in the house.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4486\" style=\"width: 313px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4486 size-full\" title=\"RSO_Library_0036_csartblog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Library_0036_csartblog.jpg\" alt=\"RSOLRothesay Library on casartblog \" width=\"313\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Library_0036_csartblog.jpg 313w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/RSO_Library_0036_csartblog-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Study and colored books by Blaise Adams &amp; David Barden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Other Interior Designer RSOL Rooms<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are few more pictures of some of the other designers\u2019 marvelous rooms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are 32 interior designers, 28 interior spaces, 12 landscape designers for 14 exterior vignettes.
