After a few “antique fails”— some chairs were uncomfortable, others too fragile—repro French seating proved the right solution for the farm table from the Paris Clignancourt flea market. Antique china fills the built-in hutch in this relaxed dining room. This street-level mudroom provides a cheerful welcome thanks to mint green paint on the built-in bench and a sweet Shaker-style peg rack. In the master bedroom, a large- scale “Hydrangea” wallpaper adds graphic punch alongside floral bedding and a plaid blanket from The Great English Outdoors in Wales.

The little girl’s dreamy bedroom features “Lou’s Garden” wallpaper and a dollhouse custom- built by Mom. An Anrey table and stools comprise the crafting corner. Just off the kitchen, which connects to the garden, a pair of mom- and-tot rockers are surrounded by climbing vines, weathered terra-cotta pots, and a stash of firewood that, come winter, feeds the home’s working fireplace. The family says having access to a shaded 350-square-foot outdoor space has changed their outlook on city living. The table was a Craigslist find;
the chairs are from Ikea. Courtesy of Country Living
