Home Tour: European Farmhouse Decor in a Gorgeous New York Apartment

Gorgeous European farmhouse style in a New York apartment on Hello Lovely Studio

Inspiring European Farmhouse Decor

Did you see my friends' beautiful

modern farmhouse which features some

of my paintings and collages in my last post?

It is such a happy place!

Today you are in for a treat since I am whisking
you away virtually to travel to Hudson, New York
to tour a lovely apartment with a different flavor
of farmhouse style...this time, romantically
European inspired.

(Images of home were styled by Zio+Sons, who created
that gorgeous rustic kitchen with the white terracotta!)

There is so much to admire about the decor
you are about to see--there's an effortless,
undone, unfussy, authenticity to the interiors
which feel timeless and quiet.

This apartment building also houses the
antique store The Red Chair, owned by
Jocelyn Sinauer,
who has created a simply charming European
country home with French,
Swedish, and Italian antiques.

Location: Hudson, NY

Homeowner: Jocelyn Sinauer, owner of

Red Chair on Warren

Home Tour: A Danish Farmhouse With Minimal Decor {Farmhouse Style}

August 17, 2017

Historical European farmhouse with thatched roof in Danish countryside on Hello Lovely Studio

In my last post, we explored the romantic, unfussy,
lovely side of European farmhouse style,
and today's inspiration, a
historical renovation of a Danish Modern Farmhouse
for Danish design royalty is a different
interpretation of farmhouse style I knew I had to share!

So often on this blog, I spread love for farmhouse style

interpreted in a variety of flavors of design.

I especially love sharing European inspired

farmhouses or country homes.

No harm in that; yet, it's important to keep returning to

classic originals, to authentic farmhouses like this one

(renovated or otherwise) which powerfully instruct

and inspire us with their architecture,
timeless design and rooted-ness

in the Old World.

Some facts about this European farmhouse...

Built in 1880

2,600 square-foot traditional

Danish longhouse in southern Jutland

Purchased in 2004, by Thomas and Heidi Dinesen
Restored interiors are minimal and modern
Dinesen Douglas fir flooring plays a starring role!

Thomas Dinesen is the fourth-generation owner of

Dinesen, a Danish company specializing in custom

wood floors since 1898.

The Dinesens hired Jørgen Overby to restore the home

and bring back its original character.

The look they aimed for?

Historic minimalism.

Regarding minimalism.
Minimal is not everyone's cup of tea.
I should know.
In our last home, which we kept extremely
spare and airy, there were visitors who let
me know they could never feel at home or
live with the minimal interiors that brought
me comfort (a neighbor once visited soon
after we built and asked if I was staging
the kitchen for sale...
"This is how we live everyday"
was my response).

People who love minimal are not boring
or indecisive...they are very often sensitive,
soulful, and contemplative types.

Many folks need their collections and objects
in full view at all times to feel calm.
But certain folks find such excess distracting,
disconcerting, and even nerve-wracking.
For me personally, I feel the energy emanating
from objects so I must exercise restraint to
feel a sense of tranquility and peace.

But I love love love visiting homes that
are anything but minimal...it's the spice of life!

This farmhouse is no longer a private residence for the Dinesens;

instead, it's being converted into the Dinesen Country Home,

a guest house for the Dinesen company.

What is a traditional southern Jutland longhouse?

It's more accurately a sønderjysk gård...

a type of 18th- and 19th-century farmhouse

with a thatched roof (the longest side aligned to the street).

Since the owner's business is custom floors,
I bet you won't be surprised that these Douglas fir
beauties play a starring role in this magnificent
country farmhouse.

About the exquisite floors in this home:
They are from Dinesen's Douglas Collection...
Douglas fir treated with lye and white floor soap
12" wide and up to 26 feet long.

You won't find moody rooms of dusty antiques

within this masterfully crafted historical home...
I'll let the images

tell the historical minimalism story.
