Hudson Hewn: New York Furniture Now, Boscobel’s summer 2016 exhibit, pitted modern 21rst-century Hudson Valley furniture designers against the classic 19th century Federalist architecture — all within the same space.
The home was moved from its original location in Cortlandt to this perch above the Hudson in Garrison. Learn all about its history with the timeline on the Boscobel website: Boscobel Timeline.

Duncan Phyfe cabinet:
This walnut coffee table has solid brass stars inlaid. The stars are exactly how they were in the sky on June 10, 1934. The designer, Asher Israelow, does other tables with other dates.
“Good design means that anything which is good by itself will go with other things.” — Jens Risom
I want this wine chiller.
More good stuff. Creepy doll.
The kitchen:
And then another exhibit of modern furniture in a showroom on the ground floor.
A wonderful outing!
Beautiful Hudson Valley.
Colleagues and friends, Traci and Ed.
