A Bohemian Family Farmhouse In Maine
Most great interiors combine a couple of different styles. It keeps it from being too cliched and boring.
I particularly love that blending of modern and traditional sensibilities. Combining contemporary furnishings with a beautiful old home's original architecture. And of course brightening everything up with white paint.
This is the family home of Katie Judkins who renovated a 1900's Dutch Colonial with her sister-in-law and interior design business partner, Heidi LaChapelle.
Take a look at what they’ve done.
sconces: Rejuvenation | herringbone slate floor tile: Clé Tile
You'll notice several arched doorways throughout this home. The original house came with five and they kept them all, as well as adding a sixth one between the kitchen and new mudroom.
The farmhouse kitchen is just delightful. Showcasing a row of feature windows with light sconces above, floor to ceiling subway tiles and that glorious vintage island bench.

That’s really clever. They’ve concealed the rangehood into what looks like a thick wooden shelf

Stylish mud room with ample storage for hanging coats and a bench seat with cute round knobs on the drawers.

A little desk nook, located between the mudroom and kitchen. A handy spot to drop the mail as you’re passing through and also a place to charge the devices.

Archway entrance to the family room.
The existing wood-burning fireplace gained a glass-front insert and a white oak mantel. The white painted bricks are perfect here too.

The original pine floors showing great character.
You can tell that Katie likes blue, it features in almost every room. I really like the fun-fresh feeling it creates. The colours, along with the textures used in the rugs and cushions gives it that boho relaxed vibe.
A nice contrast to the calming and traditional elements of the home.

To get the look:
find an old home that's got nice architectural details, such as great windows, archways, fireplaces or wooden floors
paint walls and trims white
furnish it with a mix of contemporary and vintage furniture.
use pops of colour and texture in the cushions, rugs and art.
enjoy the history of the home while while giving it a modern update
