Bullrush Wyoming Farmhouse-CTA Architects-01-1 Kindesign

This rustic farmhouse is the home of Houston-based antique dealer Liz Spradling, designed by Cushing Terrell in Jackson, Wyoming. The home is decorated with a mix of finds from her Houston boutique—antiques and vintage pieces selected from trips to Europe. Her selections are time-worn and rustic with eye-catching patinas. They work well in this Western vernacular without feeling too authentic.

The architects designed an open floor plan with a great room, kitchen, dining room, and reading nook all within view from one another. The concept was to be able to entertain family and friends and have a nice flow between spaces to easily connect.

The interiors feature plaster walls, a nod to Old World style. While antique wood ceiling beams were reclaimed from a local ranch, infusing a timeless, rustic charm. Additional unique highlights include the flooring in the entryway and mudroom of the home, salvaged from Chicago streets.

A neutral color palette was selected to highlight Spradlings’ exquisite antique furnishings and accessories. She selected fabrics that were highly textural instead of using patterns. Her design concept was to bring attention to the furnishings, with each piece telling a story. Despite the eclectic mix of geographical finds, the home’s style feels fresh and cohesive.

What We Love: This beautiful Wyoming farmhouse features a stunning mix of vintage and antique finds. The beautiful views surrounding the home are captured through expansive windows, acting as an art. An open and cohesive floorplan creates a fluid flow that lends to a comfortable living environment.

Design Advice: Spradling has stated that mixing styles and eras is the best way to give your home depth and appeal. Since your eye can get lazy, you need visual interest. Industrial pieces will help antiques to be more visually intriguing. Modern art can look fabulous set atop of an 18th-century table.
