Today we introduce you Susan and Parker home, who live in a 1948 cottage in the historic town of West Chester, PA. They purchased it a year and a half ago and have been working on home improvements ever since. Their style is mostly vintage and traditional, with modern elements mixed in, and infused with antiques and French pieces (Susan is an eternal Francophile), some of which were inherited.
Take a look and enjoy!
Her words: An original feature of the house, this built-in hutch in the kitchen is the perfect spot to highlight my collection of vintage milk glass, ironstone, and china. We don’t have a formal dining room, so this houses both our everyday and special china, although I’m a big believer in using the fancy stuff all the time.
Her words: My office is the most feminine and French space in the house, and it is where I design and blog. It houses many design books, fabrics, and personal mementos of mine. The chair and chandelier are vintage, the desk is by Artesia, and the drapery and paint are the same as that in the living room, as the two spaces are open to one another.
Her words: Our closet evolved from a long, narrow room under the eaves, and we feel so lucky to have a walk-in, given the era of our home! We just painted that wall with chalkboard paint and haven’t even christened it yet! The embroidery hoop quotes a Smiths song and is by local Philly artist Chez Sucre Chez. The striped hook is from Anthropologie.
Delightfull, right?
