The New York Times shows us the Hudson Valley weekend home of architectural photographer Peter Aaron and his wife, Brooke Allen. The family recently completed a kitchen renovation in their 1858 Italianate house...

Peter Aaron is used to photographing over-the-top high end buildings and homes of the world's starchitects and clients, but he had to approach his own home design with a much more reasonable budget (though he admits it was difficult and he still spent too much!)

Check out the story and many more pictures from The New York Times: A Portraitist of Homes Remakes His Own and the audio slideshow.
