A Classic in Villanova

I recently came across this beautiful home by Archer & Buchanan Architecture in West Chester, PA. Built on 14 acres in the countryside near old Philadelphia, it is an "homage to the gentleman farmer estates restored in the early 1900’s by famed Chester County architect R. Brognard Okie."
I love the formal, yet cozy spaces.  And, the great pops of fun color in the butler's pantry and library. Enjoy!

Here is a great blog entry from Susan Serra, CKD about a trip out east (the Hamptons) a couple years ago where she found inspiration amidst the rain. Susan's blog is so full of valuable information I wasn't sure where to look first, but am looking forward to covering it all while enjoying every image. A kitchen renovators dream webpage and blog! Enjoy!
