BEAUTY: Interior--Martin Cooper and Karen Suen-Cooper's 1790s Federal-Style Farmhouse

Martin Cooper and Karen Suen-Cooper purchased a dilapidated 1790s Federalist-style home in Old Chatham, New York in 2005 and began restoration work in 2007. And the results are charming. I love how the couple have incorporated some unexpected--and more contemporary--elements (steel balls in the entry, cotemporary photography and modern track-armed sofas in the yellow art-filled living room) into a home filled with antiques. Miraculously, none of it feels fussy or brittle. I especially love the Etruscan-orange sitting room walls (a beautiful wallcovering from Brunschwig & Fils) and an amazing black-lacquered dining room!
