Rebekka and Manley Seale (Kunst)

*****
It’s hard to believe that Rebekka and Manley Seale moved into this 1930s East Nashville home just a few short months ago. Perhaps it’s their furnishings, cobbled together from family heirlooms, flea market finds and antiques, that create such a warm, lived-in atmosphere. Or it could be its charming features, such as the two screenless double casement windows in the living room that they open during thunderstorms to let in the misty, almost tropical air, which makes them nostalgic for their native Alabama coast. Whatever it is, they have settled into their home rapidly and seamlessly. Rebekka is an illustrator who creates hand-painted watercolor and gouache paintings, illustrations, house portraits and prints. Manley is an architect at Powell Design Studio in East Nashville. Thank you, Rebekka and Manley, and thanks to Melanie Watson of Dolce Vita Studios for the photos! — Shannon
