The Most Charming Cottage Farmhouse in New York
Tucked away in the picturesque state of New York, this enchanting cottage farmhouse by Emily Pertzborn Interiors is the perfect blend of rustic charm and timeless elegance. The home belongs to actress Bryce Dallas Howard and is inspired by Jane Austen books. You’ll find soft colors, beautiful wallpaper patterns, and vintage details throughout.

This blush-hued room might look like a dining room, but it’s actually a home office and served as the home-school room during the Covid pandemic. The wallpaper is a wonderfully dusty rose print by William Morris.ย

You might notice the vases and floral displays throughout the cottage farmhouse. Another William Morris paper adorns the walls. Ms. Howard claims she’s had the green lamp for ages and it’s one of her favorites.ย

Bryce and her husband added this sunroom/dining room to the house after purchasing it. The stone wall is what’s found on the exterior of the home. The Steinway piano is from her childhood. Riviera rattan dining chairs throughout the home are from Serena and Lily.ย

See another charming cottage by Emily Pertzborn Interiors that I featured here on the blog.

This home is lovely. It is in the Hudson/Catskills area in NYS. Most people in the beautiful rest of true Upstate NY do not consider that area to be “upstate”, but rather part of “the City”. There are many more tour worthy homes upstate- try the Finger Lakes, Buffalo region, even Syracuse and Utica areas. Our North Country and Southern tier areas boast incredible farms and Victorian homes.
Cute home โฆ.THAT kitchen though!! WOW!!
I love that green lamp it is gorgeous. My other pick are those heart shaped dining chairs, wonder where those came from.
It really is a very charming cottage!
LOVED the heart shaped chairs!
