When you get to work on four barns up on a dreamy hilltop in Copake you pinch yourself and then climb up that hill and design something that fits both the hilltop as well as your client. Something rustic and grounded with a few unexpected materials and a home that will endure but also won’t take itself too seriously. Take a room tour of all the magical spaces in our Copake Barns featured in

Handing over a house to a client after a renovation is a monumental process. One week it’s a dusty dirty jobsite and then the next a home. Getting it from a house to a home is the most joyful part of our job. It sometimes takes years of planning and ex*****on to get to the point that our team enters and refines and refines and refines until the house becomes a home. We believe that adding objects that have a history - that are aged and battered and have their own past life bring a sense of grounding to a shiny new home. We believe that a kitchen table that already has been well loved will help its new family to feel held and to want to linger just a bit longer and tell one more story…..

After debuting on home tours last month my personal home is being highlighted again next month in a very big way that’s top secret. Stay tuned for the big reveal and in the meantime visit our YouTube page (link in bio) for the full home tours of each space to get the details on why we did what we did.

My editorial this month is filled with all my tips for how to host with grace and also preserve your own vacation time this summer.

Those of you that know me well know that I am the “Forever Host”. Every holiday, baby shower, graduation and an annual cocktail party for 200.
The singular events are one thing but hosting family and friends for overnights and weekends takes much more planning. It can be a fun time of bonding and making memories or it can be exhausting and overwhelming - often it’s both.

Summer is that time of year when we envision swimming and hiking and sitting around the fire pit with our children that are near or have been far away for the last few months. We romanticize summer and then it sneaks up pummels us with how busy of a time it is. We are trying to catch our breath and soak in the sun and the company visiting and it can be so very hard.

One of my favorite things to do is help clients navigate hosting friends and family in a way that preserves their own livelihood and marriage! We design homes that allow for the ebb and flow of visitors with expanding and contracting in a way that works to support the person that matters most, the host:)

Enjoy. XO Jess

A space you can linger a little longer in ….

Can you have a space that works for a boy’s room and also for guest overflow? We say yes:) Can I get the smell of dirty teen boy socks out for you, maybe not, but we can design a space that will last many years to come. xo Jess

It’s a luxury to be able to indulge in the details. When we took on my historic home renovation , we wanted to be very respectful to the details and re-create some of them where they had been lost and we also wanted to design spaces that would serve us well into the future. This was a delicate dance with all the finishing details and why we love what we do so much.
