After owning homes in Manhattan and the Adirondacks, a couple in book publishing was looking for the best of both worlds.
They wanted a commuter-friendly house in a bucolic setting, so they set their sights on the charming town of Bedford, New York. Located about an hour outside of the city, the village was in close enough proximity to the action, yet afforded them the opportunity to live among nature.
When the couple found their ideal late-20th century Colonial, they enlisted Becca Casey of Connecticut-based design studio Becca Interiors to overhaul the place with traditional silhouettes and a warm color palette. The twist? The clients wanted to incorporate a slight “radical” edge and make the house feel like a home for the couple’s three adult children.
To accomplish that, Becca made sure to channel their distinct tastes into each guest bedroom. For the eldest daughter, who’s studying to become a doctor, Becca tapped into her own English countryside upbringing to craft a romantic, cottage-inspired space.
