In Andover, just past Weston’s
Vermont Country Store, there’s a very
steep mountain road. At the top? This
beautiful home. It’s a gorgeous spot, with
panoramic views of Vermont’s west side—
and on a clear day, you can see New York
in the distance.
Though this project was the exact
opposite of terrible (It’s actually one of our
favorites!), we ended up lovingly calling
it the “Terrible Mountain Job”, because
there were many hiccups thrown our way
thanks to its remote location and one of
the snowiest falls I can remember.
Our assignment? Update this typical kit
log cabin, including its very dated kitchen.
Our client wanted to bring in more light
and update the interior aesthetic, refinish
the existing floors, and reconfigure the
staircase into a showpiece. We also added
some new carpeting and a generator
for the home onto our scope of work.
Our client had already invested in some
gorgeous iron fixtures with a simple, rustic
European Farmhouse feel she loved. They
set the tone for our design.
The custom hood adds to the rustic “French farmhouse” feel.
