Modern Virginia Farmhouse Features a Soothing Color Palette of Blues and Greens

Tucked away on a winding back road in horse country Virginia is this beautifully restored home to longtime equestrian champions and horse enthusiasts. A rambling network of stables, training rings, paddocks and meadows make up this well-laid-out equestrian paradise all of which is centered around a late 19th-Century Federal Revival farmhouse. Sara Hillery and her team created a truly modern farmhouse interior with nods to tradition. Sara pulled colors from the outdoors and let the colors of the fields and orchard near the house balance against the neutral hues of blues and soothing greens chosen for the interior. The goal was to respect the formal layout of an old house built in the 1800s, but yet to give it a sophisticated revival that was meant for 21st-century living.

Historic North Carolina Farmhouse

This home stands on a wooded berm overlooking the sound, steeped in myth and legacy. After a fire in the mid-1800s and generations of ill-conceived repairs, the house had lost much of its original spirit. Tongue and Groove was tasked to reimagine Shandy Hall with integrity — restoring its dignity while introducing modern livability and craftsmanship. The new design honors the old with a symmetrical façade, deep porches, a metal roof and classic proportions, all framed by towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Inside, the home is entirely restructured to support contemporary life while retaining a sense of permanence and storytelling. Every detail, from millwork to materials, reflects a reverence for the past and a commitment to a new legacy - one rooted in resilience, respect and Southern grace.
