Shawn, a designer and Kris, a doctor, said keep Manhattan just give me that countryside when they moved from their hectic life in New York City to a rural town in upstate New York. Says Shawn, “Our farmhouse, originally known as the Woodman Cottage, was built in the year 1800 by the Woodman family, proprietors of the local grain mill and is one of the oldest homes in town. In the previous century the Woodmans’ property was significantly larger, allowing them to farm and breed cattle. Today the charming Dutch colonial farmhouse is surrounded by seemingly ancient black walnut trees, other beautiful homes, and wonderful neighbors.”

The farmhouse boasts a simple kitchen that eliminates upper cabinets in favor of letting in more natural light from a giant window and a rustic wood table makes the perfect island.

One of my biggest tips to make a kitchen seem more high end is to take the backsplash tile all the way up to the ceiling.

My silhouette collection pales in comparison to this stunning antique silhouette gallery wall that fills the entire staircase wall.

If the downstairs was all about neutral business, the upstairs is a colorful party!

The whimsical pink and blue bird and floral wallpaper is beautifully reflected in the Venetian inspired mirror that Shawn designed when he worked as a product designer for Ethan Allen.

Plate walls aren’t just for kitchens and dining rooms and should definitely be considered when decorating a bathroom.

  1. How absolutely stunning! It was so refreshing viewing an older home, whose character has been kept. I live in an 1903 Colonial Revival that my husband painstakingly stripped off all the white painted wood to bring back the glorious oak that was underneath. I hope we are going back to the natural woods and richer colors. Although lovely, the all white décor does not work in an older home, in my opinion. Thank you for a real day maker! Beautiful!!!

  2. I am in love with the dark teal wallpaper! I have samples taped to my dining room walls now and this has given me courage to go ahead with this bold yet rich statement! Thanks!

  3. I absolutely love this old gem of a farmhouse! Wow, they really did an amazing job of labor and love. Could I turn into a little mouse and take up residence there?

  4. If you don’t reply it’s alright, my computer was acting up, loved this house i want to live there. Hope everything is ok at your house it is crazy here in Oklahoma.

  5. Kelly,
    This is off topic, but do you have knockout rose in your garden? I am debating that or Hydrangea in the front of my house. I don’t think I can or should layer both. So the question is which do I pick. I want things sort of contained and not covering my bay window. All thoughts welcome! Thank you.

  6. Such a delightful home tour! The Farmhouse Project’s eclectic style is a true inspiration. Every corner tells a unique story, and it’s a beautiful blend of old and new.
