In looking for a vacation home in Vermont’s Green Mountains, these parents wanted plenty of space for their three kids to hang out and relax and for their family to gather with friends and relatives. They were aware they’d probably need to renovate whatever they found, so they brought in designer Milford Cushman to assess a few houses they felt had potential. They landed on this timber-frame home with spectacular mountain views of the Worcester Range.

The home had room for expansion in a large space over the garage and in the unfinished lower level. In addition, Cushman bumped out the footprint in a few key places. Other design priorities included bringing more light into the house and creating better connections to the outdoors. The finished home has a polished rustic look and is the perfect place for making lifelong memories.

By the time the owners of this Victorian house in London called in interior designer Josie Lywood, they’d been living in the home for about eight years. “It was a perfectly livable space, but quite dated,” Lywood says. “They hadn’t done anything to it, as they knew they wanted to do a full refurb at some point.”

The house had already been extended at the back to create a kitchen, but this was quite narrow. A wall between two public rooms had been knocked down, creating a dark and underused living space in the center of the house. The owners wanted these structural issues resolved and an old cellar dug out to create a usable basement. They also needed more storage, particularly for coats and shoes — they have three children — and a downstairs bathroom.

“The brief was for a modern, cozy and homey scheme, harmonious with the original Victorian architecture,” Lywood says. “They were not afraid of color or pattern so we had a lot of fun creating this design.” Read on to see the beautiful results of this year-long project.
