A Place in the Country
A dramatic mix of remnants from the past and modern pieces brings a renewed beauty and energy to a vintage Virginia farmhouse.

Weathered pewter dishes add a timeless vibe. The family-style kitchen was created by joining two rooms together. The island, and old oak counter from Belgium, provides a subtle separation between the cooking and dining areas. Stained to deep brown, the stately, ancient French shutters flanking the fireplace were repurposed as doors to conceal new closets. Elegant mercury candle holders balance more rustic elements. A versatile old hospital stainless-steel rolling cart is used as an extra set of shelves for practical access to everyday items. A tall, slender cupboard offers an elegant storage solutions for delicate serving wares. In the library, a new coffee table fits in nicely with a traditional wing chair, an antique corner cabinet and a graphic black and white sign. Wooden pegs attached to a board of similar finish make a classy and efficient towel rack. Painting the inside of the built-in niche a charcoal gray puts the focus on an ever-changing display of favorite objects Daughters Sophie and Gweneal share playtime with their pets. A cherub statue, fabric roses and a glittering head form set a romantic vignette on an old metal cabinet in the bedroom. Neatly stacked and contained bath essentials are 
kept handy in an open metal shelf. Function meets imagination in an easy to clean zinc platter turned blackboard for grocery lists, messages or menus.

Phoenix Rising
An abandoned Arizona home takes flight with mid-century modern furnishings and a major makeover.

To make items pop, the walls were painted blue. Keeping faithful to the mid-century mantra of creating beauty from an amalgam of things you love, the couple chose a centuries-old French pastry counter as the kitchen’s focal point. The remodeled bathroom's focal point is a freestanding bathtub adjacent to the glassed-in shower A vintage yellow vase filled with flowers in the same color family adds a cheerful note. These vintage vases were designed by the Bitossi company and Bagni. The metal horse was created in the style of Frederick Weinberg. A stained-glass window, one of a pair the Durkins bought on Craigslist, sits atop an art-deco chest. On display are choice examples of Italian pottery, including a Rimini blue bull by Aldo Londi for Bitossi. The copper fireplace flue panel was “aged” to contrast with new earthy mosaic tiles. Ryan and Kylie share a quiet moment in the garden with their two boys, Sawyer and River, and their Yorkshire terrier, Ollie. The kitchen walls are wallows with beveled subway tiles. A recess niche above the farmhouse sink features patterned tiles and a ledge. A circa 193he table is customer made. The vintage Compass dining chairs by Alan Gould were redone with leather seats The corner fireplace is the stand-out feature in Kylie and Ryan Durkin’s great room. Original rectangular block poured-concrete walls lend the space an organic feel. A leather armchair is accentuated with a colorful pillow with a geometric pattern. Prized possessions line built in shelves that frame a window niche.

French Finesse
When Kathy and Doug McCabe left a large home in a Dallas, Texas, gated community for a small cottage in the historic district of McKinney, both life and style changed.

Because there’s very little pattern in the rest of the house, a room full of pattern is a pleasant surprise. In quintessential French style, black and white toile adds cottage character suited to the attic space without detracting from the home’s calming neutrality. A small foyer opens into the living room through the original arch doorway that highlights the style of the front door. Details matter to Kathy who prefers to show off fresh cut blooms in unique containers, like in this antique French pot. Always careful to display items in their best light, Kathy hangs French towels from a wrought iron hooks with crystal finials. Kathy mixes wood pieces in a variety of natural finishes with metal ones that show a little age, and then ties everything together with a color scheme of gentle whites, dove gray and pale blue. Kathy painted the nursery a rich buttercream for a warm color shift from other rooms, making it feel separate somehow, like a destination. An old wicker rocker and pillows made of vintage linens are timeless classics. Clever detailing—such as the pedestal “legs” that flank the range—gives built-ins the look of separate furniture pieces. This unfitted look brings a Euro-country sensibility to a kitchen. To balance the formality of the chairs and install a relaxed feel, Kathy uses a bench outfitted with cushy pillows on one side of the table. The soothing grey and white palette gets a little dash of color from the green and white napkins and plates This little reading nook exemplifies Kathy's love of repurposing vintage finds and to draw on and even amplify the home’s cottage character. To highlight the humble, handmade character of the home’s furnishings and architecture, Kathy keeps pattern minimal. She prefers cotton and linen fabrics in their natural state. In a corner of the guest bedroom, deep dormers make way for extra seating and storage. They’re topped with rafters for a loft look. Because odd wall angles can look choppy, Kathy painted the niche a serene blue. Homeowners Kathy and Doug McCabe A clear vase holds a simple arrangement of hydrangeas, apples and limes in the same color family that brings the garden in. In the nursery, decorative items attest to Kathy's love for her grandchildren. Here, she selected an old iron topiary–like frame to showcase heirloom baby shoes.

On the Waterfront
It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and this holds true where Nikki and Jeff Labelle's home is concerned.

Whether on their own or on place mats, shells and varied shades of blue and aqua are reoccurring motifs in the waterside cottage. In keeping with the home's main color accent, an aqua chandelier takes center stage above the dining room table. Star fish displayed in a blue vintage scale evoke the waterside location. Shells and books about the coast keep the cottage location in focus throughout the spaces. For the Labelle family, beach walks is a daily tradition Coral appeals to Nikki for its cultural form and natural beauty. Filled with an orchid, starfish and sand dollars, a ceramic container makes a a cultural centerpiece anywhere it is placed. Star fish and sand dollars gathered into a large shell act a works of art while echoing the near-by sandy beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Nikki's penchant for antiques carries into the master bedroom where a vintage mirror was constructed from a salvage frame. The piece rustic finish is balanced by feminine bed linens and a romantic chandelier with aqua pendants. Outfitted with comfortable sofas and chairs, the family room doubles as a reading room. A vintage armoire conceals the T.V in style. The French doors open onto a loggia, the pool and the view of the bay. Overlooking the Intercoastal waterways the eating area off the kitchen is the family's favorite spot to share their daily meals. Nikki had the cabinets built-in, and she painted the back a soft sky blue to recall the near-by waters and allow her white dishes to stand out. Keeping with the white and blue and old and new theme a wooden bucket holding fluffy beach towels stands by a vintage bench--a favorite reading place for 5-year-old Bode. Borrowing space from a former balcony and enclosing it provided room for a stand-alone tub and an additional dressing area. Marble floors add a touch of luxury and a spa-like mood.
