Tag along to Millbrook, NY as we visit the stylish country home of interior designer Darren Henault! See how Darren renovated his 1800 farm house to accommodate his active family including now-teenage twin girls. Hear how he had to remove over 3,000 trees (which he donated to the town and friends) on this former Christmas tree farm to landscape the extensive property with a relaxed rural elegance. Learn how Darren has embraced country life and hear why he never wants to leave his country retreat with a plethora of outdoor activities from beekeeping and chickens, to an apple orchard and beautiful cutting garden. An avid equestrian, Darren need not venture far, as there is a stable nearby that houses his horses. Inside, you’ll see how Darren has created a home that nods to its 19th century heritage but fully accommodates a 21st century lifestyle. Watch and you’ll learn how specialty paint finishes and artisanal touches distinguish the decor of Darren’s beautiful home. Hear why the designer thinks bathrooms today don’t get the love they deserve and see how Darren’s thoughtful mix of pattern and layers, peppered with antiques mixed with contemporary art as well as estate sale finds make for a home that is as comfortable as it is personal. For more, be sure to see Darren’s chapter in Susanna’s and my latest book, At Home with Designers and Tastemakers. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com
