Chris Gilliland and John Field's new home would be clean and simple, a low-maintenance,...
Chris Gilliland and John Field didn’t want or need a lot of square footage, but what they did have, they wanted to be comfortable and stylish.
They both already liked modern and midcentury modern style and knew they wanted color, so they didn’t need help picking furniture. But they did turn to interior designer Mary Patton of Mary Patton Design — on a recommendation of one of John’s colleagues — for help filling in the gaps and applying finishing touches.
Field, who has stronger opinions on home design, had been warned about the sticker shock of custom draperies. But Patton assured that their price tags don’t have to be outrageous. After they met in L.A., Chris moved to Houston and John went to New York for different jobs. They maintained their relationship long distance. Tired of that commute, John joined Chris in Houston in February 2020, just before the pandemic set in.
Their main living area has a small dining spot, where they have a round table with a cluster of chairs, and their living room has an emerald green velvet sofa with two midcentury-style chairs, one a Wassily chair covered in brown and white cowhide and the other a white leather chair.
