Translating her fairy-tale vision into The Six Bells Countryside Inn, Audrey Gelman and designer Adam Greco lay on the charm

- SAM COCHRAN

Folk Lure

AT THE SIX BELLS COUNTRYSIDE INN, RECENTLY UNVEILED IN ROSENDALE, NEW YORK, THE LAMPLIGHT JUNIOR SUITE FEATURES A BOX BED DRESSED IN A QUILT AND PILLOWS FROM THE LODGING'S NAMESAKE LINE.

The banal minimalism of contemporary Pinterest boards has no place in Barrow’s Green. All throughout this fictional hamlet, edges err on the side of ruffled, patterns tend toward the whimsical and dense, and Tyrolean touches abound, the ills and anxieties of modern life blissfully receding against a tableau of folk arts and crafts. And though it may not be a real place—born instead from the imagination of Audrey Gelman—it is a real mindset, one now writ large at The Six Bells Countryside Inn, opening this month in New York’s Hudson Valley.

Lights Fantastic

Lighting sculptor Stephen White constructed more than 2,000 works over his six-decade career, at least one a staggering 18 feet tall, yet his meticulous scrapbooks contain scant evidence of public recognition. A few newspaper clippings from Hawaii and the West Coast sit next to a single national magazine cover, nearly half a century old the logo obscuring White's (uncredited) design

CUTTING A RUG

Even during Sweden's famously long and bitter-cold winter, the dining room at Beata Heuman’s 18th-century family farmhouse bursts with life thanks to the hand-painted mural of tulips, lilies, dahlias, and fruit trees—all a nod to flora on the property grounds, much of it planted by her mom. Now, the AD100 designer has teamed up with the British wall covering brand de Gournay to bring that tableau (ever so slightly tweaked) into production. Heuman says of the collaboration, which also includes Delft Folly, her riff on the classic Dutch blue-and-white tiles. degournay.com
