A longtime client acquired a new home in the Berkshires and wanted a full transformation — new master suite, reconfigured guest rooms, renovated kitchen, and additional spaces for a gymnasium and media room. The aesthetic: modern farmhouse.
We redesigned the entire second floor — a new master suite, a Jack & Jill bath between two enlarged guest bedrooms, and a primary walkway connecting the foyer to the great room. The kitchen, guest quarters, mudroom, gym, and media room were all renovated from scratch.
To anchor the modern farmhouse aesthetic, we commissioned a one-of-a-kind oversized oil painting of a bull — a piece that sets the tone for the entire home.
A home that feels deliberate in every room — from the open-plan kitchen to the private gym to the media room where the family actually spends their evenings. The farmhouse style runs through it all without being heavy-handed, and the commissioned art gives the space a personality that catalog furniture never could.

The kitchen renovation was the centerpiece. Shaker-style cabinetry in a muted sage, unlacquered brass hardware, and a 10-foot island with waterfall quartzite. The range hood — custom steel, patinated to match the window frames — anchors the room. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast area was opened up to the rear yard with a new bank of casement windows, doubling the morning light.
The second floor was reconfigured entirely. The master suite now includes a dressing room and a spa bathroom with radiant heated floors, a soaking tub set into a deep bay window, and a walk-in shower with full-height tile. The gymnasium and media room were carved from previously underused square footage — each given enough soundproofing to do its job without interfering with the other.
