Countryside Escape

This Indiana farm offers a peaceful escape from city life for a family of four. Our goal was to honor the spirit of the original farmhouse while thoughtfully updating the interior for modern living. Rustic touches—like soapstone countertops and subway tile backsplashes—blend seamlessly with the home’s clean, classic palette.

The white kitchen, layered with vintage accessories and timeworn charm, evokes a sense of Americana, illuminated by lantern-style light fixtures that feel both familiar and fresh. In the living room, the scent of pine needles and firewood served as our inspiration. We painted the built-in bookshelves a deep colonial green and highlighted rural life with a prized deer bust and pastoral oil paintings above the hearth—an inviting space where we imagine our client curled up with a great American novel.

Beyond the main house, the property includes two guest houses, a tennis court, swimming pool, greenhouse, and entertainment barn—offering the perfect blend of comfort, nostalgia, and open-air freedom.
