A Stunning Historic Farmhouse Renovation with Improved Efficiency

Cows in the pasture and chickens at the front door. That’s what you’ll see when you visit today’s historic farmhouse renovation by Jess Cooney Interiors. Located in eastern New York near the Massachusetts state line, this house feels like home at every turn, starting with the feathered reception upon arrival.

Here’s another view of the entryway from the front hall where you see more of the exposed beams. During the renovation, historic details were considered and honored.

The main focus of the historic farmhouse renovation focused on the kitchen where recessed paneled cabinetry is painted a beautiful shade of deep blue. Vaulted ceilings create spaciousness in the custom kitchen.

Three pendant lights illuminate the expansive kitchen island with its beautiful wood counter top. Simple Roman shades can be raised to let plenty of sunlight flow into the space.

A Zellige tile back splash adds texture and a bit of sheen to the otherwise rustic kitchen. There’s no shortage of storage space in this beautiful, welcoming kitchen.

The dining room is surrounded by windows and bathed in natural light. The large table is a great gathering space for the entire family. A mix of patterns was used with striped upholstery on the chairs and a small geometric print on the window shades.

The living room features a beautiful brick fireplace with white board and batten molding on the lower half of the walls that contrasts with the navy blue paint on the upper half.

The den is cozy and inviting, the entryway and windows framed in bullet trim. The homeowner did his schoolwork in this room as a child. The room is wrapped in grass cloth wallpaper.

The fieldstone fireplace is the centerpiece of the family room. The stones were sourced from the home’s property, bringing the outside into the historic farmhouse renovation.

The gorgeous screened-in porch can be used for dining or lounging, with a view of the cows off in the distance. Bamboo style furniture provides comfort and a summer vibe.

A beautiful metal bed takes center stage beneath the vaulted ceiling of the master bedroom. Note the use of a herringbone pattern on the cozy blanket.

A whimsical pattern on the ceiling of the nursery creates something fun for the babies to gaze upon when waking from their nap. A simple red tractor print decorates the wall. I love the addition of the stuffed sheep.
