My expectations, already high), were far exceeded - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the vibrant colours, the lovely people, only everything! Have you lot ever been? If non you lot must! We solely managed to covert the real tip of the iceberg in addition to hence around other see is definitely inwards order! Tips welcome every bit always! I thought I'd boot off the calendar week amongst this beautiful province family inwards upstate New York designed in addition to owned yesteryear ceramicist Kelli Cain in addition to partner Brian Crabtree.

What a cosy space?

I don't intend I've ever seen a fireplace correct inwards front end of the stairs before, cause got you?  I dear how the disused infinite nether the stairs doubles upwards every bit log storage besides - real clever. If I had a forest burning stove I'd cause got it going correct instantly beside me spell I gulp java in addition to tap away at my laptop, how nigh you?

I also dear how the magnificent barn door made from recycled forest which tin lav last pulled across to skid inwards lite or unopen to split upwards the abode purpose from the living space.

Is in that location anything that stands out to you? 

Get the look: many of the beautiful ceramics (including the incredible geometric backsplash!) are yesteryear Kelli Cain.  Herman Miller saucer pendant light, Carl Hansen CH25 slow chair, natural weave basket (love this!).

You tin lav encounter a amount write upwards in addition to to a greater extent than pictures over at Martha Stewart.

The infinite reminds me real much of around other abode inwards Upstate New York which I featured inwards my book Modern Pastoral - both of which genuinely encompass the thought of bringing the placidity of nature indoors. So inspiring!
