I had the distinct pleasure of having a drink with devastatingly handsome New York designer Shawn Henderson a couple months ago. Besides being a fantastic talent, he’s a truly lovely person as well (we spent a good amount of time gushing about our love for our dogs, complete with photo sharing session). So when I saw his country home featured in this month’s House Beautiful I was delighted. The classic New England sensibility appeals to me in such a basic way and makes me feel at home. This week is so dreary and wrought with stress for me, this images of a calm, quiet country home put me a little at ease (even if I can’t transport myself there right now, as much as I desperately want to). I think we all should have a retreat like this in our lives!
Shawn also did this kitchen makeover for Country Living Magazine a while back- a testament to his vision and ability to create spaces on all budgets!

Oh yes please! Loving those shining wood floors and the pink armchairs. OMG!
What a dramtic Before and After!
Wow – I love everything about every picture! Thanks for sharing!
amazing, I love everything about this house!
WIDE OPEN SPACES!!!! That’s what come to mind. And that kitchen? Wow. That kitchen!
That is an amazing kitchen re-do! But I would LOVE to spend time in that house, it looks like such a peaceful and relaxing retreat!
I usually enjoy all the interiors you post but these ares by far my favorite! Gorgeous!!
I just clicked over to his site and you weren’t kidding! He is devastatingly handsome!
Oh my, everything in this gallery is swoon-worthy!!! I LOVE the last image though, of his renovation, such a perfect space!!!
I really want a buck head…
Hi, Erin, I just wanted to share a thought to hopefully brighten your “dreary and wrought” week. After a stressful (makeup-less and hair barely brushed) day down near our hometowns, my husband and I were looking for parking near our South End home on Saturday eager to get into pj pants and dial up some takeout when I spotted you and your hubby crossing Tremont. It was like a celebrity sighting. I have to say, you two looked postcard-perfect together and very much the embodiment of your stylish blog. It was all I could do not to put down the window and yell something crazed like “Elements of Style rocks!”….but my husband would have teased me mercilessly and it would have likely been embarrassing for you. On this rainy little day, I just thought you would appreciate knowing that to the passerby you are very much the cool girl that has it all together :)

Ok, I now have a SERIOUS case of ‘house envy’ for Shawn’s country home!
Kate, you seriously made my WEEK with that comment!!!!! Love you! :)
Devastatingly handsome. Loves dogs. Design interest. Talented & creative. Owns a country house like so… Hmmmm… Not at all tempting!.. :)
Jokes aside. This house is wonderful – so many lovely details, however the exterior and setting are what grabbed me the most.
Great post. Thank you.
