Catskill Farmhouse

I shared a little a photo of this house last week. I keep coming back to it. Looking at the details and how the owner skillfully repurposed old with new. The house has a hominess that doesn’t feel contrived. The turquoise walls paired with a map and vintage pieces is my favorite. Check out more of the home on the nytimes.com.

    I LOVED this house, too, when I saw it in the New York Times. It’s gorgeous, simple and cozy. I’d love to live there!

    This is so beautiful. And sortof what I imagine your home is (or will be) like. But with more wallpaper and patterned fabric!

    A wall of cabinets reminds me of dutch paintings and the cabinets of curiosity. That room could be full of all the treasures of a lifetime of collecting. If only we could see inside them!
