Floating Farmhouse

Since the season is well under way, and our Fire Island house isn't quite yet finished, I am left to dream about and covet (aka stalk) other's idyllic summer homes till then. I stumbled on this upstate New York beauty tonight while researching one of our last details to purchase, the sliding barn door hardware for the new bathroom.

" I wanted to create a tension between polished and raw, primitive and industrial, sophisticated and simple" - Tom Givone

1700's Italian marble sink relies on concealed angle supports

I love the owner, Tom Givone's mission to explore "the contrast between historic and modern and play these extreme elements against one another." It is one that I am trying to channel in our house.  The Floating Farmhouse is also available to rent, (now there is a fall-back plan)!
