We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style, it was a blending of traditional and elegant with rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed. And did you see the barn?
