Fantastic Brownstone Home in NY
Hello friends! Hope you all had a fun and lovely Easter. We celebrated with wonderful friends at our house and had a really nice time together while 14 kids hopped all over the house, and not one tear being shed or one thing broken!
Maybe now I am in need of quiet and serenity after this affair and this amazing NY home fits the bill. It has made its rounds in the blog world. But I had not seen it in its entirety until just recently.
The lucky owners of this fabulous brownstone home are Fitzhugh Karol, a woodworker and Lyndsay Caleo, a jewelry designer and goldsmith. Some creative couple, you will find out!
Their home is filled with natural light and incredible architectural details. And tons of their own designs and recycled items. A design love affair in white and brown.
The library ladder leads to one of the guest-rooms and the couple made the dining table together from a fallen tree.
I love the round wooden sculpture in front of the bookshelf filled with sentimental treasures. The classic white Panteone chairs fit in perfectly.
Ok, this is my absolute favorite piece in the house. A barn door that leads to the powder room. They apparently found it in the sheep run of Fitzhugh’s family farm! This I have to have once in my lifetime!
Fitzhugh made the island counter top with its clever slit for kitchen knives. The wall shelves are reclaimed from a mill. Do you see the happy doggie? (I don’t blame him!).
Here is a carved wood and concrete table by Lyndsay. I love everything in this image.
Fitzhugh carved the four poster bed himself. Lovely room with an original fireplace.
Isn’t this just an incredible home? However, the one thing that I will remember the most – and will dream about tonight – is that sliding barn door!
Happy new week to you all!
