Farm Caretaker's Cottage Turned Cozy Getaway
A complete overhaul by Kelly Mittleman turns what was once a caretaker's dreary cottage on a Connecticut horse farm into a cozy getaway for the farm's new owner.
Caretaker's Cottage Turned Getaway
Built as a caretaker's cottage on a Connecticut horse farm, this home now serves as a guest cottage, Airbnb rental and a private retreat for the property owner. Rust red exterior paint gives the house a subdued touch of color for an updated take on traditional barn red.
An Airier Alternative
The homeowner was adamant about not having a permanent island in the kitchen, so designer Kelly Mittleman instead placed a table that can double as counter space but can also be easily moved to create a more open space. Using a table in place of cabinetry also helps maintain the airy feel of the room.

Sunny Reading Nook
A sunny corner is the perfect spot for a cozy reading nook. Naked windows allow ample light in during the day, and personal reading lights take over at night, making this the perfect spot for hours of relaxation.
