Bedroom

"Tourists," says Tablet Hotels, "is a ’60s motor lodge reborn as a very modern, very hip little country boutique hotel. Its name was inspired by an old ‘Tourists Welcome’ sign, and the aim is to remove some of the stigma around the term—we can’t be locals everywhere. Its partners are drawn from several disparate worlds—from hospitality and development to chef Cortney Burns and Wilco bassist John Stirratt—who may be tourists in the hotel business but boast authentic cultural connections. The vibe is pared-down but stylish, with a modernist simplicity but a rustic edge, studiously avoiding urban opulence and midcentury modernist kitsch. In its eclectic acknowledgement of its disparate influences it feels somehow timeless, and strikes a balance between summer camp conviviality and the quiet you expect of a proper rural retreat."

Vintage furniture in the primary bedroom mirrors the bespoke pieces in the communal living space, with a midcentury A Younger wardrobe and Archie Shine drawers sitting alongside an Arts and Crafts Heal’s bed.

A suite of pieces by Abigail Turin, including the bed, desk, and shelving, unifies the bedroom’s design.

Wooden closet doors and accents warm up the bedroom, which otherwise continues the house’s rough concrete and plaster palette. The bed linens are from The T-Shirt Bed Co., while the lamp and side table are from MRP Home. The planter is from Country Road.

Graced with another Marset Dipping Light pendant, the bedroom stars a large, space-saving closet dreamed up by Sarolta.

The primary bedroom features the floor-to-ceiling drapes that are a staple throughout the new renovation, highlighting the home's tall ceilings.

The principle suite retains Victorian details (like the preserved fireplace). It’s positioned at the front of the house, while the children’s spaces are upstairs in the addition, which gives family members privacy.

On the third floor, the wall outside the kids' bedrooms was left exposed.

An oculus window in the brick wall offers a glimpse into the front studio, and brings in more light.
