You could be mistaken for thinking this is an old stately home in the US, but actually it is a new house!! The owners have gone to great lengths to make this home look like it has been there for ages.....yep, they built it from scratch.
Nearly everything in this home is recycled, or a reproduction find. This Fire screen is an antique re-fashioned as a decorative, yet useful feature in the Master Bedroom. I love that chair
Ooooh...be still my beating heart. This would usually be more red than I could cope with, but I have always loved Barn Red. Here in the Kitchen they have not one, but two islands (they have 6 kids). The red one with marble top is for pastry making. The other is a butcher topped one for prep and is filled with gumballs and the like to look like an old fashioned candy store (I think it would make a great shop counter). I just love this room. It is such a warm, inviting space.
Here is the other end of the Master Bedroom. My kind of space. Vintage linens are a plenty, and the window seat is divine. The old trunk looks so interesting...I wonder where it came from?
What a fantastic area to entertain in. Because of the outdoor fireplace, you could use this as an all year space. Loads of wicker seating have given this casual space a 'kick off your shoes and curl up' feel...so homely.Ness xx
