Claverack
Farmhouse
Hudson Valley | New York
For an 1800s farmhouse in the Hudson Valley, I worked collaboratively with my clients bringing together their personal collection of furniture, objects, and antiques from their extensive travels throughout Italy, Spain, Morocco, India, and Greece with eclectic finds I sourced locally. Intent on preserving many of the original architectural elements, we refurbished the working fireplaces and solid wood doors outfitted with hardware from the early 1900s (which had been hand-forged by the blacksmith who had once lived there). Since my clients love to entertain, we added additional rooms suitable for hosting large house parties and updated most of the home's fixtures and fittings. We repainted many of the rooms introducing warm, muted tones of moss, mauve, and hay and custom fabricated much of the furniture. The blue couches in the living room feature a rich navy mohair velvet beside pillows with antique textiles, meanwhile the primary bedroom dons a pink linen bedcover and chunky mohair blanket in a warm citrine.
