The hilltop perched house is all about land and panoramic views down its 150 rolling acres and out across 72 square miles of Lake Winnipesaukee. And this was one of the factors that Ann and Jerry Calvert wanted us to work with - a color clean house that let the landscape and guests showcase the 'color' and for the living spaces to be more background.
The mid-house open air gallery that leads into the farmhouse kitchen or out and onto the veranda for amazing views.
The living area was done in hues of cream & taupe, with accent pillows of dark brown and animal prints. A wine barrel stave chandelier is suspended mid room while wood framing, a massive stone fireplace and magnificent views anchor the room.
Gothic benches and a series of antique botanical prints invite you to sit and linger in the open air gallery.

Thanks Terri. It was fun...I'll try to get some of the pub shots. I forgot that we found the bar for it in Normandy... just over the Belgium border. And I was just asked to hunt some more stuff for it when I go back to England in Oct. on a buying trip.
Loved the first photo with the sunflowers and the last photo with the view... and all photos inbetween!
Just beautiful. I love it. So inviting. Wanting to check in for the weekend with a good book? Think they'd mind. Congratulations!
Congratulations to you and Cubby! The home is absolutely beautiful! The Hickory Chair pieces are just beautiful they way you personalized them for this amazing home. Thank you!
As the economy forces the closing of up-scale decor and accent retail stores, you have this wonderful creations within. Love to see more of your work soon.
