(Interior decor by Alexa Hampton)

A Country Cottage and Charming Summer House

This turn of the century Queen Anne Victorian was in disrepair, and also needed complete modernization for an extended family weekend retreat.

The interior decoration was done by Alexa Hampton and is featured in her book The LANGUAGE of INTERIOR DESIGN (available from Amazon).
