New Hope Farmhouse

Our New Hope Farmhouse project includes a redesign of the family room, kitchen, and pantry. The original home was built in 1771, with additions on either side of the existing structure over 20 years ago. We took advantage of the generous natural light that beams through the windows and skylight, with an eye towards creating an upscale farmhouse design that ties into its surroundings. By layering texture and pattern throughout the entire space, we achieved our goal of an interesting, welcoming, and warm place to gather with family and friends.

We carried the lighter and brighter aesthetic to the kitchen and pantry as well as improved functionality. A quartzite slab backsplash, reconfigured appliance layout, and new cabinetry in crisp white with glass fronts on the uppers gave that fresh, clean look. The custom island features hidden specialty storage. We designed a coffee bar on the previously unused short wall between the family room and pantry, with antiqued mirrors inset into the upper cabinetry panels.

The pantry, located off the kitchen, is one of the features of the home that the clients love best; with windows on three sides, it offers views of the private driveway leading up to the house on one side and the farm on the other. New cabinetry throughout features more clean lines, with the lower stained wood adding contrast and depth. The mosaic tiled wall surrounding the bay window creates a central focal point above the larger farmhouse sink.
