A Prairie Modern Arises
FROM ASHES IN ASHEVILLE
A home they were happy
to return to makes Paul
and Wyndy Bonesteel
feel even more rooted in
their narrow mountain
cove.
PAUL BONESTEEL DESCRIBES THE HOUSE he and wife
THE BONESTEEL FAMILY
MOVES ON FROM MIDCENTURY MODERN BY GOING
BACK IN TIME TO A HOME
WHERE "FRANK LLOYD
WRIGHT MEETS THE
MOUNTAINS."

Wyndy live in as "Frank Lloyd Wright meets the
mountains." The Bonesteels' house in east Asheville,
North Carolina is just that, a gorgeous Prairie
Modern home of simplicity and clean lines at the
edge of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
With their two sons and a menagerie of animals
domestic and wild, the Bonesteels inhabit a home that
is beautiful without being stagy, full of guy energy and
busy schedules. At the helm of Bonesteel enterprises
is Wyndy, the implacably cheerful nurturer. And driving Bonesteel Films is Paul, a documentary filmmaker
who also makes branded entertainment for TV networks like HGTV and the Food Network.
What makes the story of their home all the more
compelling is the calamity from which it was born.
Their house emerged from ashes, fire having
destroyed their Mid-Century Modern home three
years ago. The blaze forced them to focus on what
they really wanted in a house. It made them define
their aesthetic.
