OPPOSITE, TOP: Inspired by mainstay farmhouses in Vermont, the exterior features multiple gables, metal roof accents and a welcoming portico. BOTTOM: The island
houses a sink and a discrete built-in compost compartment. The butcher block top is fitted with removable metal bins, which hold potted herbs on a daily basis and ice
when the couple entertains. THIS PAGE, ABOVE: A built-in breakfast nook overlooks the backyard, and a Dutch door adds a touch of rural charm. BELOW: Planked walls in
the front entry enhance the farmhouse aesthetic. A supremely organized workspace occupies a corner of the entry hall.
