Step into a modern cottage with a vintage inspired interior.
In the dining room is a collection of old chairs and a French walnut table that was found in Provence and restored. The buffet dates to the late 1700s and the mirror above it is from an Irish Pharmacy.
They hung just 2 widths of “Bookshelves” wallpaper to simulate a bookshelf.
The boarded wall was added to give the cottage a Hamptons look.
The vintage clock is the standout piece in the kitchen.
Farm sink with an antique reproduction tap mixer.
The beautiful cabinet is from a men’s clothing and tailor shop.
The bedside table is an old hospital cart.
The tub is new, but it looks great.
The sink is a reproduction Victorian.
Out in back are antique French cinema chairs and reclaimed number signs that date back to the 1940′s.
