new build

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.”
