“It was very important to the homeowner that this felt like an old farmhouse,” says designer Kate Dickson. “She wanted it to feel rustic, homey and not modern — like it had been here forever.” In this home makeover, Kate transformed a dark and dated house into a bright and welcoming retreat while preserving original features, including a cast iron stove in the sunny yellow kitchen and an original wood fireplace in the green dining room. The home is filled with thoughtful details that pay homage to its history, from antique mismatched farmhouse chairs in the dining room to a kitchen island designed to resemble an old farmhouse table. Plus, don’t miss the inviting foyer, pretty powder room and picturesque outdoor spaces.
