In keeping with the clients’ aesthetic, “We continued the same hand-split limestone inside for the fireplace and stairwell,” Farland says. “It became a focal point—nature’s statement wall.” For the palette, she leaned neutral, choosing natural wood finishes and upholstery in creams and taupes. “We didn’t want to compete with what was outside,” she explains. “When we did use colors, they were always chosen from nature because that’s what the clients are drawn to.”
Farland’s furnishing selections emphasize ease and flexibility. “Each room was designed to invoke a sense of comfort while being elevated,” she says, noting the living room has pockets of intimate seating but can function equally well for larger gatherings. Pieces, such as the sofas and leather chairs in the living and dining rooms, lean softly contemporary. “Then we added a vintage side table, which is right next to a modern industrial floor lamp, and they work together,” the designer explains. “As I got to know these clients, I found they are drawn to many types of design. To me, this results in a well-curated home.”
