Country Glamour in Woodstock, New York
"There is an element of
escapism involved in a country house," says Cunningham. "This allows for
more fun!" The team stuck with the notion of an upscale country home
with a twist — a look that's epitomized in the living room's rich colors
and use of natural materials.

Another sitting area adjacent
to the fireplace echoes the same colors of the previous photo.
Cunningham and Foster stuck with a earthy palette of browns, turquoises,
and reds throughout the house. By using the same tones in each room,
they were able to tie the entire house together.

Creating a home that was
appropriate for the country was important, but Cunningham and Foster
also wanted to avoid cliché. By incorporating artistic elements
throughout the house (such as the elegant additions to the bar above),
and building a home that would be the ideal weekend getaway for a young
family, they created a fresh and quirky aesthetic.

A dark turquoise sofa is
accented with pillows in fabric used elsewhere in the living room.

The designers decided to use another earthy tone in this room and
accessorized with an eggplant-colored crocodile leather tray on the
ottoman.

Cunningham and Foster fell in
love with the large-scale nine-piece photo of a Queen Anne Lace bloom.
They bought it immediately and had been dying to use it in the perfect
setting. The turquoise lacquered walls in the dining room made the ideal
backdrop for this piece.
The linen-lacquered table is set with organic-inspired tableware. From the faux bois dishes to the woven table runners, this setting is reminiscent of the home's naturally luxe style.

Bold, statement-making
wallpapers are part of Tilton Fenwick's signature style. The blue of
this Farrow & Ball wallpaper is both playful and soothing, and
contrasts beautifully with the red-orange of the bedding and custom
headboard.

A custom upholstered headboard
in a subtle coral pattern adds quiet elegance to the space. The coral
pattern is just visible enough to provide a playful clash of pattern and
color with the wallpaper and pillows.

Although they essentially had
to do a full renovation, Cunningham and Foster still wanted to maintain
and highlight the pieces of the house that added to its charm. One of
the original fireplaces, painted a simple white, was kept in the master
bedroom for chilly winter nights.

Cunningham and Foster worked with artist Victoria Molinelli
to design a wallpaper that uses the Tilton Fenwick logo for the guest
bedroom. The peacock print is echoed with a bold metal peacock above the
bed — a lucky find at the flea market. "We're biased," says Foster,
"but we think it turned out beautifully!"

"We embraced the culture unique
to Woodstock, where self-expression is in the air," says Cunningham.
"We took that spirit and ran with it, really creating a home that's full
of fun touches." Across from the bed in the master bedroom, Cunningham
and Foster played with the modern style of Cunningham's family by
combining a vintage couch with a lucite coffee table.

In a girl's room, Cunningham
and Foster upholstered the walls with a classic brown and blue floral
pattern from Cowtan & Tout. Simple brown-and-white bedding echoes
the graphic "C" above the cushioned headboard. "The goal was to
highlight the charm and emphasize comfort," says Foster. "I definitely
think we succeeded."
