A young couple from New York City with two kids in grade school made the move to Vermont!

They found a lovely house with amazing views of the green mountains that has a great barn. The home is an L-shaped design and part of the house was built in the 1800's, with the addition built in the 60's.

The left side of the house was built in the 60's and consists of a three car garage with living quarters above. This is where the family has their bedrooms. This part of house needed a definite re-do with new carpet, paint, and bathrooms. All done in a very studied and clean look.

The old part of the house from the 1800's is spacious with rooms leading into one another and great views. There have been no structural changes because the house has good bones but it needed to be made more comfortable for this family.

One of my favorite rooms to design was the downstairs powder room, which was completely finished. On the wall, a beautiful grass cloth wallpaper by Philip Jeffries, with white wainscot panels on the lower half. Blue stone tiles run from the foyer into the powder room.

The project photos reflect an atmosphere of reserved simplicity, elegance and beauty.
