Boscobel Country Home #1

This project is titled "Boscobel Country Home #1" because it is, by coincidence, one of two homes that I've designed for two separate clients, who have properties in the same development outside of Boscobel Wisconsin.  The two clients both contacted me in the spring of 2014, within a month of each other.  

The clients for this project are from the Chicago area, and construction of their home was completed in 2017.  The general contractor for this project was Richard Kinney of Knapps Creek Builders in Blue River, Wisconsin.

The clients requested a home inspired by a famous fishing shack in Rockport, Massachusetts called "Motif No.1", shown below.  I hadn't heard of it, but according to the New England Historical Society, it may be the most-painted building in the United States.

This will be a vacation home and eventual retirement home for my clients.  They purchased most of their cabinets from Ikea, and many of the furnishings for the home were acquired from thrift stores.

The living room is oriented to the woods on the north of the property.

A wood-burning stove in the living room provides supplemental heat.

The master bedroom is simply but beautifully furnished in keeping with the style of the home.

All three bedrooms are on the north side of the house, with view of the wood beyond.

The exterior is inspired by "Motif No. 1" as well as Wisconsin agricultural buildings.
