at home

continued from page 43

ABOVE: In a loft outside the master bedroom, a sitting area is surrounded by jacks
by Ferndale artist Kaiser Suidan. "We won them at an auction for the Michigan
AIDS Coalition," Tessler says. "We won a lot of 15, got them home and realized we
needed about 40 more."

RIGHT: Serene and whimsical, the nursery was pieced together by Meagan Tessler.

ABOVE: All of the paintings in the home are by Detroit artist Alphonso Cox; it is
also filled with photographs of scenes and buildings around Detroit.
