Mabel och Harry's, ett modernt hus på landet

This colonial farmhouse, built in 1920, was purchased by Mabel Daily, a housewife and mother of 13 who had a vision for her family’s future. Generations later, her granddaughter Janny bought the farmstead from a cousin and invested years into a loving and design-intensive restoration. M&H is a mix of the old and the new: original architectural features and high-definition flatscreen TVs; an induction cooktop and a speckled enamelware kettle; antique nightstands and the highest-quality bamboo sheets and bedding, not to mention our single-strand mulberry silk pillows. The house was designed not only with preservation and elegance in mind, but with an eye toward the kind of relaxation that can only come from having your every need met.

To preserve nearly 70 years of family history, Janny, co-founder of Jewell RD Homes, purchased her grandparents’ farmstead. She and her brother and business partner, Mark, executed an extensive two-year design plan to transform Mabel and Harry’s into a charming space for short-term rentals, special events, and intimate weddings.
