This modern rustic ranch house was reimagined for family living by Kylee Shintaffer Design, nestled next to a fishing river in Montana. A modest home was gutted and re-configured to better suit the client’s needs. Finishes sourced locally were employed to be more authentic to a building that could have always been there and was complimentary to the home’s surroundings.

The furnishings and fabrics were carefully curated to reflect the rustic architecture but to also express a spirit of refinement and sophistication while feeling fresh and current. The house is filled with antiques and pieces crafted by artisans, creating an interior that feels as authentic as the land surrounding it.

What We Love: This ranch house in Montana has undergone a beautiful update to showcase warm and inviting living spaces. Idyllic views of the river can be captured throughout this home, creating a relaxing atmosphere. We love the mix of materials in this home and the warmth of the stone-clad fireplace in the living room. Overall, the designer did a wonderful job of creating a family home that will surely be cherished for years to come.
