Understated and so welcoming
The dining room welcomes you and invites you to stay a while
While 'that pie" is baking, this is where I hang out, with my book and cup of latte....not too bad
In the country...we go to bed early, so I get into bed with my book and keep the windows open for an early evening breeze....
The early evening light filters in.....
On golden pond come to life......I can see many family get togethers year round here, maybe even a wedding or two?
COASTAL RHODE ISLAND. This fabulous restored 200 year old barn is a story right after my own heart. ( I am sure many of you too) A woman and her lawyer husband buy a 4 acre plot of land out by the coast in a rural town and have a vision of building their dream barn on the property., They want to replicate an old barn but want to be able to see one that they can mimic. They end up going to look at an old barn in the dead of winter in Canada, which is in amazingly meticulous condition....to cut to the chase, they end up having that barn piece by piece transported to Rhode Island and lovingly built back up again except this time the facade is done in gorgeous stone, a homage to the local area in Rhode Island. Just fabulous! Love the soaring spaces..the light that is brought in, but the integrity of the original structure is very much evident in this amazing building. Interiors by Ellen Denisvich-Grickis
The setting was kept nautral and realtively untouched...beautiful
Love all that wood.....glorious!
I can see late morning Mothers day breakfast/brunch turning into lunch turning into mid afternoon coffee here
What a wonderful kitchen for impromptu entertaining with family and friends....
With the windows slightly ajar to allow for that fresh mountain air...this room is meant for napping
This is a perfect dining al fresco spot!
Perfect from every angle if you ask me!
UPSTATE, NEW YORK. This updated saltbox was purposefully kept understated as not to upset "the apple cart" aka the neighborhood's integrity of equally charming homes and farms. The rural landscape lends itself to quiet and understated New England charm but the new owners wanted to reinvigorate the interiors. Sills Huniford did an outstanding job keeping the old feeling but allowing it to feel fresh and new. Warm and neutral colors were used along with rich textures. You will see no overhead lighting, just lamps and chandeliers, nice aged timbers and reclaimed wood floors were used to keep the antiqued feel of the home. The Colonial feeling is still very much alive but with an updated airier feeling....what do you think?
I love the soft glow of this room and love those floors
Love this kitchen...its an entertainers dream!
This cozy little family room is the perfect place for putting your feet up, grabbing a great book and a cup of coffee
Love the ambiance of this bedroom.....the fireplace adds to the coziness
A small prep kitchen to prep the days picks from the gardens, I could pull a "Martha" in here
fall
There you have three totally charming abodes...could you possibly pick a favorite? Wouldn't you love a place like that to get away to for those "Calgon take me away" moments, day, weeks or months? (maybe even years...lolsoooo describes both my mom to a fault..does it ring a bell for anyone else out there?
Happy Mothers Day!!
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan
