“We took a historic home that had seen better days and reworked windows, floor plans, raised roofs, and thoroughly renovated the kitchen and baths with a mix of architectural salvage and ingenuity. Our goal was to create a comfortable and cozy home inspired by the British countryside and Colonial America. We sourced an Aga oven, designed Shaker-inspired cabinetry, fabricated custom furniture, and decorated it in a moody palette, and layered old-world textiles.”

I have such a thirst for colour at the moment and this 1850’s cottage in New York state is like a big glass of cool cool water. A wonderful renovation that respects the building’s past but provides contemporary family living. Pound Ridge Farm by White Arrow.
