Steal This Look: A Rustic Farmhouse Living Room in Upstate New York

November 15, 2016

Today we take a look inside the parlor of Taavo Somer’s renovated 19th-century farmhouse in upstate New York. Somer, founder of Freemans restaurant, barber, and menswear shop in New York, is the original mastermind behind the rustic/reclaimed/hipster style that’s swept the design world. The living area, complete with original beams, reclaimed floors, and characterful vintage furniture, follows suit. Here’s a list of ideas for re-creating the look at home.

N.B.: We’ll have more of the house, featured in Freemans: Food and Drink | Interiors | Grooming | Style, on Remodelista later this week.
