The Way Home: New Book Captures Personal Journal of Creating Home

If you are continually enchanted by stories of people rescuing homes and bringing them back to life, don’t miss Our Way Home: Reimagining the American Farmhouse. After living in Brooklyn for a decade, Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill, principals in the New York-based architecture and design firm Hendricks-Churchill, discovered Ellsworth, an 1800s New England farmhouse and made it their own through a combination of personal expression and respect for the house.

The interiors reflect the couple’s well-defined and personal aesthetic combined with a dedication to ensuring it works for their family and the way they want to live. The home’s finishings are clean and simple, but include rich colors, patterned fabrics, antiques, and contemporary furniture. Reading the story of their renovation is an inspiration in honoring a home, and an invitation to trust yourself to make it completely your own.
