Open Table | In the dining room, where reclaimed antique bricks replaced a rotted wooden floor, a distressed English table takes center stage. The carved peacocks are from Michael Trapp in West Cornwall; the large French pots filled with branches were found at R. T. Facts Antiques in Kent.
Sweet Dreams | Painted a pristine shade of cream, the simple, unadorned bedroom is the perfect backdrop for a curvaceous antique iron-and-brass bed.
Country Kitchen | Once the back staircase was opened up, the all-white kitchen seemed to fill with light and fresh air. Countertops are made of silver-veined Carrara marble.
Branching Out | This small bedside table is crafted of intertwined twigs and branches painted white, lending a distinctly organic feel to a bedroom.
Seaworthy | Deep shelves in the living room are painted brown to showcase a coral collection; sea-green bottles and a striking plaster head complete the vignette.
