A classic white picket fence surrounds the pool. Pale pink roses and lavender is a classic combination.
The broad entrance hall features a fireplace, typical of the period.
By the front door is an antique French console.
The spacious living room, above and below, strikes the right balance between sophisticated and casual. A print by David Hockney hangs above the mantle.
The dining room, above and below, is clearly inspired by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement, as seen in the prominent paneling and the deep frieze, actually a patterned linen from Travers. The plaid rug is by Elizabeth Eakins. The woven wicker dining chairs offer a modern edge.
The bright and airy sunroom has a great mix of furnishings: an ornate iron coffee table, an antique bobbin chair and vintage mercury glass lamps.
The bedroom above is graced by softly patterend wallpaper and a beautifully spare iron bed by Niermann Weeks.
There's a classic American vibe in this guest bedroom.
Who could resist whiling away a summer afternoon on this spacious porch?
This is the essence of summer living. Thanks for reading, everyone!
I also love the dining room!
