Countryside Escapes: Idyllic Farmhouse in the Catskills

This farmhouse, built in the 1880s, sits just off of Main Street in a town outside of the Catskill Mountains. Art Home Garden updated the tired interior with new furniture, but used wood beams and shiplap walls to preserve the home's character. They then transformed a bungalow on the edge of the property into guest quarters.
