At Home With Angela JanotaAngela Janota's home is a striking brick building with an interesting history that's filled with amazing collections she's acquired over the years. The American farmhouse stands on nearly two acres in Caledonia on the site of an earlier wood-sided Greek revival farmhouse known as Applewood Farm that was acquired in 1893 By Alvin J. and Anna Hloushek. The house, which was set on tree stumps, rotted after a time, and the family built a new house in a similar style in 1925. When Janota bought that house in 2006, she did so because she loved its character but also knew it could be the perfect space to display her collections. Her pieces come from between the turn of the century and the 1950s and include dresses set on old dress forms, handbags, ladies' hats, shoes and jewelry; mantel clocks, fainting couches, bedroom sets, chairs, baby buggies and Christmas ornaments. But before she could display her pieces, a good amount of work had to be done to the interior of the home and outbuildings on the property. The second floor hadn't been finished when the Hloushek family lived there, but another owner did "update" that space in the '60s, she said. Unfortunately, that work was done in the style of that era. Cheap doors were installed, a rounded opening between rooms was added, and thin molding was installed. Garish colors also were used. "It's about a 2,600-square-foot home, but when I was doing work on it, it felt like it was 10,000 square feet. I would sit on the floor and cry. Parts of the ceilings came down, there was variegated blue, orange and yellow carpeting, and the ceilings were painted to match the carpeting. The bathroom was all pink, and there was track lighting," she said. Fortunately, Janota, a music teacher at Racine Unified School District, had flipped houses before, so she knew what had to be done. She installed four-panel vintage doors she found curbside, squared off the round opening, and redid all the molding to match original molding on the first floor. She also got rid of the offensive carpeting and the padding under it; removed sheets of 4-by-8 foot engineered wood under that, and then added new oak flooring. She painted the rooms a soft biscuit color or a pale yellow with white ceilings, molding and trim, and redid the bathroom in white. She did much of the work herself, but she also counted heavily on her good friend, David Eickelberg, as well as some professionals during the approximately five-year-long project. "If I couldn't lift it myself, I paid someone to do it..." she said. "I did the grunt labor. If it required a lot of time, like plastering, refinishing the staircase and sanding the floors, I did it." She also did a substantial amount of work on the first floor, even though it hadn't been updated in the '60s. "A previous owner put 4-by-4-foot sheets of wood over the hardwood floors, and on top of it there was a layer of asbestos tile with a lot of black tarry glue, shag carpeting and padding," she said. "There were so many layers that the bottoms of the doors were shaved off to fit." Once the layers were removed, she refinished all the floors, patched holes in the floors where radiator pipes once ran, and spent hours restoring the staircase that had been covered with tile, carpet padding and carpeting. "There were thousands of tacks in the carpeting, and each one had to be pulled out," she said. After all this restoration work was done, she began setting her furnishings and collections throughout the house. In one bedroom there is a bright blue fainting couch and a secretary/dresser. "It's half cabinet and half dresser," she said. "I try to use pieces with glass cabinets in them for my collections whenever I can within reason. I love collecting and classifying." The largest room, which she calls the second-floor master guest room, has fretwork on a window, burgundy accents and a piece that looks like an armoire but is called a break down cabinet, as it breaks down into four to five pieces. That room also has an old chest at the foot of the bed, a child's baby buggy and a bed made of walnut with a burled walnut insert, she said. "It has East Lake spoon carving on it, and is probably from the turn of the century," she said. A third bedroom has an elegantly carved high-backed bed from about the 1880s, a hall tree with old hats, a large and decorative dresser, and a closet staged with vintage clothing arranged from small to large in size. This room connects to the second-floor sunroom by French doors. The sunroom has two burgundy fainting couches and a bearskin rug. A fourth bedroom has a twin bed with a vintage white spread and a large closet where vintage clothing and renaissance costumes are displayed. "This closet had cheap bi-fold doors that I took out," she said. "I found these French doors and installed them. I also added shelves to display pieces. "I'm not a decorator…," she said. "I try not to offend but still satisfy my inner collector needs …" She recently talked about her home and outbuildings, which were featured in the Sept. 29 Preservation Racine Inc. Tour of Historic places. Question: How many bedrooms do you have now and how many were there years ago? Answer: My neighbor, Vitus Hloushek, is the great-grandson of Alvin and Anna. He lived here as a child and now lives next door. He told me a lot about this house. He said when he lived here there were no bedrooms upstairs because it was unfinished, but the piano room, the sunroom, my bedroom on the first floor and a corner room that has a green dress and a two-door cabinet with toys in it, were bedrooms. Q: Did you change the way any of the rooms are used after you bought this house? A: Yes. On the first floor the room in the center was a dining room, and I turned it into a living room for better flow. It's also a space for entertaining. A pantry is now a room for storing kitchenware and was where two cats I had slept in an area with antique doll furniture. A bedroom was also turned into a music room. I have an old upright piano, an electric piano and a harpsichord in there that I used for work. Q: Why do you like light colors in your home? A: I like the soft biscuit color and the pale yellow because none of the colors of the antiques match.. I had to throw those colors into my jungle of antiques so your attention will go to the antiques. I'm a big advocate of white in bathrooms. No matter what, you can always live with white. Q: Any accent color you lean toward? A: Burgundy. If I want color, I look for burgundy. Q: What changes did you make to the second-floor bathroom? A: I had a wood floor put in. I put in a 1920s-style porcelain two-legged sink, a new toilet and a tub. It was all pink in here. Q: How did you update the first-floor bathroom? A: I did a partial gutting. I put in a hex tile and three-fourths of the wainscoting. There was some wainscoting in there and I matched it. There was a shower over the tub from the '60s. I detached it because that made the room look bigger. The tub was originally blue and I painted it white. Q: What is the collection in the first-floor bathroom? A: Antique laxative bottles and cans. When I have a party and guests use that bathroom, they have fun talking about those pieces. Q: How did you furnish your parlor? A: I have a four-piece parlor set in it, a case with some of the mantel clocks and an old Sonora record player. It works, and it has space for old records under it. Q: Any changes in the kitchen? A: Not many. I wanted to keep it natural looking. A previous owner updated the cabinets. They're a light maple, and some have glass fronts. I would have done it differently, but I like it lot. I took out the track lighting and put in reproduction schoolhouse lights. It has cream city brick on the exposed chimney that runs into the attic. Q: Where do find pieces for your home and for your collections? A: Estate sales and curbside. I try to be creative and resourceful. Any room is an excuse to buy beds, dressers and chairs. I love old carved pieces. Q: What are the out buildings you have? A: A red barn with a gambrel roof. I painted it twice. It was leaning, so I fixed that. I took a wall down inside and added a wall with a doorway. I have it set up for parties. I have a 1950s fridge in there. I also have a metal pole building, and I also got a corn crib this year that I want to make into a garden shed. Q: What houses did you flip? A: The first was when I was in my 20s. It was in the city of Racine in a high-crime area. I lived there five to six years. The paint wasn't quite dry before I sold it. The second was a farmhouse I lived in for another five years. Q: The walls and windows in your home are simply decorated. Why is that? A: I'm extremely careful about what I put on walls and woodwork. When I rehabbed this house, and previous houses, I took so many nails off walls and so much hardware off the windows. On the windows I used wood filling and sanded them. Q: Do you plan to stay in this house for a while? A: I really love this property and area. It would be hard to find something comparable. Horses walk by every day. I also like to watch the people and the horses. It's also quiet out here. If I moved, it would have to be a unique property or opportunity.
