where the heart is

British-born Hilary Robertson shares her Connecticut home, Tater Hill, as part of her new book, Nomad at Home - she describes the interiors as European modern country and a mix of all the places she has lived and loved

HOME OFFICE

The two-room guest house embraces the white-on-white look of the main house. I work at the painter's table and love staring at the trees. The painting in monochrome is by Alistair McCowan. The chubby chair is by Jack Rabbit Studio, a great place I discovered in Hudson, New York.

ORANGERY

Our last project in the renovation was this space, where we committed NY sacrilege and painted over the brick walls with home-made white limewash. Wel did keep the wonderful brick floor, which was relaid perfectly by another friend, Jesse. The orangery can be anything we want it to be; sometimes it's a dining room, but it also works as an extra bedroom or workshop. We change it around all the time but the jungle of plants are always happy here.
