This gorgeous year-round vacation home was designed as a weekend retreat by James Thomas Interiors, located in the woods of Upstate New York. This dream home features rustic interiors mixed with modern elements to create a warm and cozy atmosphere for relaxing with family and friends. Designed for a couple with three teenagers, this 3,700 square foot, five bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home was originally constructed in the 1920s.

Above: The stunning screened-in porch welcomes groups of all sizes. The space acts as an extension of the outdoors. Highlights includes an extra-large rattan sectional sofa sourced from Restoration Hardware, part of their outdoor collection. The Salvaged Elm Pallat Coffee table is from Restoration Hardware. A hanging chair was requested by the daughter; a place to chill-out while enjoying the views. The pendant came from Barn Light Electric: 20″ Chestnut Pendant with guard and ribbed glass. The beams and ceiling material are cedar, while the walls are painted cedar.

Above: The design of the living room was inspired by an afternoon spent playing board games. A dramatic window seat creates a comfy, cozy focal point. While a corner game table and vintage board games set the mood for comfort and fun. There is also a game table in the corner and board-game inspired wall hangings, which sets the mood for comfort and fun.

The flooring is plain-sawn walnut. The walls are painted in White Dove OC-17 | Benjamin Moore. The windows are wood and custom-made through Marvin.

What We Love: This Upstate New York retreat feels rustic, but also fresh and modern. There are so many beautiful details, from the vaulted ceilings, to the stone fireplace, and expansive windows framing the surrounding woods. Our favorite space is the screened-in porch, the perfect spot to enjoy year-round for relaxing and entertaining! …Readers, what details in this home stands out to you?
