All we can say is wow...this remodel for the Meece family in their vacation cabin just outside of Big South Fork was everything they and we hoped it would be. Still in progress but it totally fits the rustic horseback theme they were going for!

The painting of police on horseback is by the great American realist painter, Alice Neel. The blue fabric on the dining room chairs picks up on the blue-grey tones of the painting.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

Hideaway, Le Marche - San Marino, Italy A historical Hideaway. Image courtesy on the realtor, Leo Trippi. A well-hidden place where the spirit finds its peace, nested between the Romagna, the Marches and Tuscany. Entering the gate, one leaves behind the pace of chaotic lives, and abandons itself to the joy of living of this ancient land. It is meant to be understood as a site of experience, where nature, culture, history and pleasure are elevated to the centre of things in order to finally rediscover it in oneself. A sort of “back to the simplicity”, aiming to dedicate oneself to observation and drawing from it valuable experiences for one’s life. Each of the three houses presents itself as an unexpected world in its own right, closed in on itself and yet a harmonious part of the whole, waiting to be enlivened by lively laughter, animated conversation and playfulness. This territory is a paradise for lovers of nature and the great outdoors. The sheer variety of places and landscapes enables visitors to take excursions on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike. History and architecture enthusiasts can follow an itinerary of strongholds and castles dotted around the area. Lovers of gourmet food will discover a full range of traditional dishes and quality local produce all year round. The rich variety of museums enables exploration into the rural arts, medieval architecture, archaeological finds and contemporary art.

It all started with the fabric… A beautiful embroidered fabric with black, hints of gold… so elegant, but mixed with a touch of linen to balance it out. The furnishings just fit right into the scheme. It was as if this room always existed and belonged in this home! Marshmallow poufs live perfectly under the coffee table. Splashes of greenery and a cool eclectic stallion reached the homeowner’s memories of horseback riding with their children. This savvy New York couple were the perfect owners to embrace this refined yet comfortable look and we are so glad they did! This room just begs you to come in!
