“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.”

London based designer James Thurstan Waterworth of Thurstan creates unique, rather eclectic spaces whilst in keeping with the period of the architecture. Whether it be ornate and traditional, modern loft or a 17th century masseria in Puglia, each space is breathtaking.
