In this week’s instalment of #TheMakers, we tour interior designer @clairezinnecker's 120-year-old farmhouse in #Austin.
When Claire first laid eyes on this 1898 Victorian farmhouse in Austin, she “knew it had to be mine.”
“When I saw glimpses of the high ceilings behind the dirty sheetrock and bits of the original floor under layers of linoleum.” These romantic remnants of the original home inspired Claire to make it her own. With determination and a clear vision, she was able to use the bones of the home to create the cosy European-style farmhouse we see today.
Claire’s definition of a beautiful home is “one that looks collected and lived in. I want to be able to walk into a home and understand the owner without ever meeting them,” she said. And by this measure, her home delivers in spades.
“It has been a slow labour of love which has allowed me to gather, collect and take my time in how she came together,” she said. “I definitely let this house speak to me. Everything is special but nothing is priceless.”
