A Neutral and Natural Holiday Cottage

Christmas on a foothill farm nestled by the Appalachian Mountains means loads of fresh greenery in Stacie Moore’s holiday house, harvested right from the land. “Our home has an eclectic cottage twist and I love making it my own,” says Stacie, who is a decorator, homemaker and mother of four. “During the holidays, we forage on our farm for greenery to use throughout our spaces.” Swags, garlands and mini trees from their farm or other local growers, add a timeless, organic Christmas romance to Stacie’s interiors—along with an intoxicatingly fresh piney scent.

A Pantry Hill Christmas in the Country

There’s nothing quite as beautiful or nostalgic as a snowy Christmas in the country! This country home in Saratoga Springs, New York, is a new build, but over the last seven years, Eric Rozell and his wife, Darien, have been turning it into a refined country home called Pantry Hill. Here, Darien chronicles life through social media, a seasonal e-newsletter and a website—each one providing a peek inside Pantry Hill, telling its story in recipes, family history and traditions, such as the popular pie-making workshops that are held at Pantry Hill’s kitchen.

 A Unique Home on a Georgia Farm

When James Farmer was hired to head up the interior design of a new-build home on a farm in Elko, Georgia, he didn’t just take a page out of a farmhouse-style handbook—he wrote a whole new one.  The result is a unique home on a Georgia farm rather than a typical farmhouse. “I went back to images of rich hunting homes for inspiration but added a fresh approach,” Farmer says. “Many of the walls are light and bright, while the fabrics and colors are supple. Each room carries the overall feel of the house, which allows the home to both blend and enhance the natural beauty of the surrounding land. My approach to design is ‘collected.’ The home’s style is intentionally traditional, classic and inspired by history.”
