American Farmhouse Style
From the February/March 2019 Issue:
A Virginia home transforms from colonial to farmhouse, taking its cues from the land and the family who calls it home.
By Autumn Krause
The relationship between home and land is an important one-particularly for this Rockville, Virginia home belonging to Mary Beth and JT Grier. The couple wanted to give their 1997 colonial a modern farmhouse renovation, and they turned to designer Jennifer Radakovic of Jennifer Radakovic Design to transform their home. “They have chicken, goats, horses, cats and other animals, and were drawn to the modern farmhouse style to match their actual small farm,” Jennifer says. It’s an instance of art paralleling life, and the two meshed beautifully, resulting in a farmhouse-style renovation that accommodates the family of six and reflects their homesteading lifestyle.
