Van Tine Home
Scope: Full-Service Furnishing | Year: 2025 | Millwork: Old Mine
A modern Catskills cabin edges toward nature with a warm and grounded reimagining of its interior. Taking cues from the color palette and textures of the property’s Hudson Valley setting, the studio incorporated furnishings, finishes, and accessories that nod to seasonality and comfort without tipping into rustic cliché. A vacation home designed to host two families, the residence balances graphic sensibility with eclectic, soulful layering of new and old. With custom, functional storage for easy culling of clutter, as well as jewel-box spaces that surprise and delight, the experience of the Van Tine house is much like the Hudson Valley itself—a series of discoveries, always unfolding.
Feeling of Arrival
Earthy terra-cotta — a shade drawn from fall foliage — washes over the home’s double-height entry foyer, marking the shift from the outside in. Antique quilts, patina-bearing wood benches, sculptural mirrors, and vintage-inspired industrial lighting introduce texture and age.
A View Continued
The open-concept living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows let in stunning views of the landscape; in winter, cool, icy tones reverberate in the channel-tufted armchairs in the conversation area. Helping to unify the expansive space is custom-designed walnut shelving, which contains a built-in reading nook for spending a quiet afternoon. With open and closed storage, the unit provides a place to display family treasures (or discreetly hide them away). The “narrator piece” of the room—a bold, Persian rug featuring accents of blues, browns, and reds—keeps every element in conversation with the other.
Spring Awakening
High-voltage botanical wallpaper and a saturated shade of green envelop a bedroom, where American vernacular elements—a spindle bed, folk art, and milking stools—live comfortably alongside clean-lined, modern pieces. An ochre rug acts as the room’s center of gravity, adding a steady rhythm of geometry that echoes elsewhere.
A Place to Recharge
Sculptural accessories and a rich layer of orange infuse a bedroom suite with confident energy. Leather-wrapped sconces and a sherpa ottoman bring in an earthy throughline, tethering the room to the natural world.
