The glorious Connecticut property of Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill (of the architecture and interior design firm Hendricks Churchill) illustrates how a late nineteenthcentury farmhouse can be adapted for stylish and comfortable twentyfirstcentury living.Rafe and Heide discovered their true home in a late 1800s New England farmhouse after a decade of living in Brooklyn, New York. The historic property, Ellsworth, is a showplace for their shared aesthetic and sensibility of designing for real life, and not for formality. At the core is a house of pareddown traditionalism with references to Shaker tranquility, Arts & Crafts practicality, and bohemian chic. Whimsical wallcoverings, striking colors, a mix of contemporary furniture and antiques, exciting works of art, and comfort aboundturning a workaday house from the nineteenth century into a creative laboratory of the twentyfirst.The house and its surroundingsa constant work in progress with evolving interiors, landscaping objectives, a reconfigured sunroom, a barn restoration, and planned hiking trailshave become an endless source of inspiration for the couples many projects, which include residences in New England, New Yorks Hudson Valley, New York City, Oyster Bay, Boulder, and Austin. The narrative of the book addresses the couples design process in terms of architecture, decoration, and final installation. As many Americans are deciding to leave cities for calmer, more connected lives in the country, Heide and Rafe illustrate how this transition can be one of beauty and logic.
