I am in love....absolutely in love...and nestled in Bedford...what a fairytale.

This really is a fairy-tale house. Beautiful! What a lovely job you've done!

Question: What cabinetry did you use in your kitchen? I love the tall ones that look like furniture.

Congratulations and kudos!

Warm, inviting, and Gorgeous (with a capital G).

too beautiful!

home!

it is beautiful - but I can't get over the square footage - 6200 sqft for 4 people! I would hate to see the heating bill in the winter.

They did an excellent job making a huge home cozy and cohesive, which is often harder to do than with a tiny home. There were so many spots that looked perfect for napping/ reading. Those floor boards are INCREDIBLE!

Simply incredible. And boy, that's a lot of furnitures- $$$
Love everything about the house and you guys have a good taste!

Beautiful home, although I've always believed, "guests of guests MAY bring guests". The more the merrier! especially with a home that size!

Photographs next to the bathroom sinks? Over designed but thanks for the tour anyway.

Oh wow, I'm in love! This house is beautiful, inside and out. Not to mention, so my style--at least in pictures. I have never actually managed to pull it off in my home. I suppose it might help if I were an interior designer. :)

And I like the lamps by the sink. Sometimes it's nice to have lighting in a kitchen that isn't overhead (plus, they certainly look better than the stacks of dirty and/or clean dishes that are always by my kitchen sink).

Sigh. I'm so jealous. It's truly beautiful.

Oh well, at least I've got a house I can easily afford and a retirement plan to keep me fed and warm in old age.

Your home is beautiful. I was going to list all the things I love but I can't even remember all of them (blue oven, all white bathroom, red chairs, bed nook...) What material did you use for your kitchen counters? Also, the walls in your dining room look textured- is it wall paper or paint?

love the sitting porch, the reading nook in the dormer, curtained sleeping nook, the wide plank floors! but i especially love the brick floor inside.

So happy you like our home! This was relatively last minute so the house was not staged for a shoot. Sorry about the tchotchkes ladymantle.

The counter tops are carrera marble, the cabinets were custom made by Architectural Woodworking in Barre, VT. The dining room walls are a grasscloth.

Hellkat - we mostly heat the house with our wood stove, very colonial!

Please look at some of our other projects, this hasn't been updated in a while so keep checking!

It´s interesting whats behind the facade of an typical american farmhouse. A very interesting and smart combination of different styles with a lot of european impact. Btw, I love, since I´m german. The only idea i dont like is the very small oven in the fireplace.

Wow.

I love how fresh and cozy this house is. I'd live here in a heartbeat.

i drive past this house almost everyday, it is so exciting to see it here and see how truly stunning it is.
i'm curious if there were any original elements to the house that were removed... we are debating on if we should remove the original, but badly damaged, stenciled plaster work from our front room.
again, beautiful home! so hope for this peek!

Way too posh for me to be able to relate to.

Stunning. I'm swooning over the floorboards, the fireplace/stove in the "first" living room, the windows in the library, and the blue walls in the dining room (grasscloth or fabric?).

Lovely, although I get the feeling that Martha Stewart called Pottery Barn for all her decorating needs on this one.

Save the hundred-thousands-of-dollars decorating jobs for Architectural Digest, K?

Fabulous!

Really nice, so New England. I LOVE the lamps in the kitchen and the photographs in the bathroom are not "overly designed." You have very good taste and it's nice to see a home like yours featured on AT.
My only cons would be the upstairs bathroom (photo #44) doesn't fit with the rest of the home. I think it's the flooring. All the other rooms are hardwood. That bathroom is too shiny and new--not rustic enough. Also photo #45 looks like a hotel room (at least in the photo.)
Your home is beautiful.

Wow! You guys are very lucky.

This is undeniably a beautiful home, but this isn't Mansion Therapy.

love the green sofa - where's it from? please tell !

love it love it love it -- though the lamps on the kitchen table are a bit much. still, stunning home and very comfy-looking. congratulations.

the above should read -- the lamps on the kitchen counter are a bit much. all the other lamps are perfect (smile.)

It seems "curated" is the new AT buzzword. I think I'm getting you guys a thesaurus for Christmas...

why not have lamps by the sink? i like it. what a beautiful home & fantastic attention to detail. so nice to see a change of pace on Apt Therapy -something more new englandy

This is a gorgeous home! My favorite elements would have to be the bed nook and those fantastic wide plank floors.

The green sofa is a stock 3 seat design by George Smith in NYC (the village) with my own choice of fabric.

I would be happy to design the interior of a home in Dubai!

beautifully designed. can appreciate older homes and renovations. i like bright. brings peace to people. not dark and dreary. definitely love the floor boards, fire place....oh yeah, I've got dibbs on the built in bed nook when i visit you and dan.

this place is lovely, but... isn't the name APARTMENT therapy? aren't there enough blogs, magazines, etc for houses? and 6,200 sq ft? Seriously? Really, AT, REALLY.

truly nice

I'm pea green with envy! What an incredible house to grow up in and I love that the exterior of the house is still traditional.

this place is lovely, but... isn't the name APARTMENT therapy? aren't there enough blogs, magazines, etc for houses? and 6,200 sq ft? Seriously? Really, AT, REALLY.

Exactly, in the past few years, it seems that AT is going more and more towards small homes (and this HUGE home) and going away from what made it the most interesting and relevant, to me--the small space aspect. I wish the majority of AT stuff would be on small spaces (sub-500 sqft) because I think that's what most apartment renters are dealing with. More more more, they are focusing on houses (from smallish houses to regular houses to this gigantic house). That's fine for other sites, but that's hardly fitting in with the mission statement of APARTMENT Therapy, I would say.

Uh, that's not to say that this house isn't totally beautiful, BTW, it just doesn't seem to fit AT's mandate.

AT's mission is "Helping people make their homes more beautiful, organized and healthy by connecting them to a wealth of resources, ideas and community online."

Since AT now publishes tours from across the country (not just NYC) focusing on spaces 500 square feet or less is not realistic.

You may see dollar signs when you look at the house but please also try to see the incredible inspiration through design and thoughtful furnishing. And please remember that a 6000 square foot farmhouse in NH will often be less expensive than many apartments within Manhattan.

But, again, it's called APARTMENT Therapy, not MANOR Therapy. Yes, it's great to get inspiration from houses such as this one (and it's a gorgeous house!), but the internet already has a ton of blogs, and there are a ton of magazines, that fit that niche. I would argue that many/most people come to Apartment Therapy because they are looking for realistic, real-world decorating, design, and organization solutions for the apartment/small-space dweller.

I don't see what the varying price of real estate has to do with it. Yes, I can buy a farm out in the boonies cheaper than an apartment in Manhattan or a house in Victoria, BC, but that is irrelevant to the site. It's supposed to be a site that's aimed towards apartment living--particularly small-space living.

If they're going to change that, that's fine, but I think that as a loyal reader for several years and someone who has purchased the books, etc., I at least should voice my concern for the direction of some of the content of the site because it honestly turns me off of AT. And if I'm thinking it, I'm sure others are--there are probably people who don't want to comment or are hesitant to in fear of any backlash.

I love AT, that's why I've been reading it daily for years, but I prefer that it sticks to the Apartment and small-space concept because that's why I come here.

it is so pleasant, it must be a contented home. sincerely, mary

Stunning- little more can be said.

Thank you, we are happy in this home
