Take a tour around a New York barn conversion

The rustic banquet table has been made from a maple tree that was cut down as it was too close to the house. The legs are sawhorses bought from a local hardware store. You can buy Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs at Skandium.

In the kitchen, stainless steel and walnut units give a striking contemporary look. Roundhouse can design similar. The floors are tiled with Portugese limestone, which you can buy from Stone Age.

The walls in the house are simply plastered. To make the room feel larger, the partition wall between living and dining rooms has a connecting fireplace. The floating ledge is made of Portugese limestone.

Around the corner, in the living room, a B&B Italia cashmere sofa creates the perfect place to watch films. The lambswool rug is by ABC Carpet.

The super-slick new kitchen is in the extension and makes the most of the light and views around the property. The tap is an Arne Jacobsen design available at Vola.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor, and is flooded with light from the large windows. The walnut slat bed was designed by Messana O'Rorke, and the flooring is Portugese limestone continued from the kitchen.

In the bathroom, Velux skylights let the light flow in while maintaining privacy. The walls are panelled with painted bead boards, made from Douglas fir, to a recessed flush dado rail with polished diamond plaster above. Victoria Plumb sells similar baths.
