The entryway is light and airy, with a nubby sisal rug at the bottom of the staircase.

A beautiful staircase greets you at the front door. I love two-toned stairways (my own staircase has brown treads and white risers like this one).  The natural fabric rugs create an earthy feel in the foyer.

 

Wide plank wood floors gleam in the living room of this New York colonial home with its clean white walls and slip-covered furniture. A traditional oriental rug adds a bit of rich color to the well-lit space. French doors lead to the sunroom.

 

Wrap-around mullioned windows let ample light flood into the sunroom that serves as a simple office.

 

White walls and wood floors continue into the dining room with its simple chandelier and farmhouse table and chairs.

Another oriental rug makes an appearance in the kitchen with its painted cabinets and a simple pendant light. An unexpected oil portrait hangs above the farmhouse breakfast table.

The back door off the kitchen of the New York colonial home leads to a wood-planked porch with a fun vintage light.

Upstairs, shabby chic style winds its way into one of several bedrooms. Beautiful bedding on the white iron bed makes you want to crawl right in and take a nap. I think I would leave the curtains open at night to enjoy the moonlight streaming in.

Back downstairs, a screened porch provides additional dining space and a place to unwind and relax at the end of the day or on weekends.

A flagstone patio is just outside the screened porch and features pops of red with Windsor and Adirondack chairs.
