Inside Shawn Henderson's Home

Shawn Henderson, who grew up in the upstate New York area, knew immediately that the eyebrow colonial was meant for him. Built in the 1830s and relocated to another part of the property in the 1980s, the house has seen many transformations. After a fire in 2017, Henderson was presented with an opportunity to add additional square footage and he ended up extending the kitchen space and added a screened-in-porch and a master suite. Despite the expansion, Henderson is careful to maintain a feeling of “warmth, comfort, and security” for everyone who visits-great hospitality runs in his family. “It actually feels like a hug,” says Henderson, of the guest bedroom with green Loro Piana upholstered walls and Fortuny drapes, but “things aren’t too precious.” He describes the decor of the home as “Americana meets Swedish country,” and in the 18 years he’s lived there, he has filled the space with an interesting juxtaposition of pieces-think Scandinavian furniture mixed with a Noguchi paper lantern in his living room-that prevent the home from feeling too “old and stodgy.”

This place looks back in time but with the freshness of a new eye. No overdone but a statement piece. Well done saying your partner's name correctly and being honest about your love for gardening over interior design. Great Story to watch!

[@kategilhool7437]

[@WildWest144]

This home is a definite yes. Wow! It looks relaxing and very special. Good job Shawn Henderson.

[@Schumacher1889]

Definite YES!

[@stevefranks1711]

Wow! Beautiful, serene, inspiring. Terrific video. Many thanks for it. A friendly thought/suggestion: While it might have been jarring to this lovely video, it would have been interesting to see "before" pictures, especially pics of the impacts of the fire. Such pics might inspire people to see possibilities.

We once owned a 1732 home in Brewster, on 6-acres, with a Barn and 2 Outbuildings. We loved it, but had to move for work. I share your connection.

[@montresian]

Your house and interior design is awesome !!! Thenks from Switzerland

[@plw7930]

This is a stunning home and property. So well loved and cared for. What a treasure they have created!

[@GK-up6xz]

One on my favourite Schumacher videos yet. Love Shawn’s aesthetic . My only gripe is I really want to hear from a designer who says, ‘you know, I really want to make your guests feel a little uncomfortable…’ Is that weird ???

[@imianco8079]

cool guy and cool house! i appreciate all the details that makes it personal including the collar!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video

[@yolandasilverio1205]

[@Mark-tr9ey]

Remarkable! Impressed with your style and sense of self! …and upstate NY, yup!

[@waimeagrl5142]

Such a beautiful home, fantastic work. I wish we were able to see the pool/guest house.

[@Schumacher1889]

Shawn is currently revamping his pool house which is why we didn't show it, but we can't wait to see the final product!

[@waimeagrl5142]

I’m sure it will be equally as beautiful.

[@craigathonian]

Beautiful people...inside and out, make beauty for all to experience..... But this beauty just overflows with beautiful talent ❣ So refreshing to see a designer who understands and carries through implementing the importance of balance while still holding spontaneity, charm, and character. So many designers shoot themselves in the foot by being overly intellectual with object placement. { like a huge lamp on a too small piece of furniture, or a loud leopard print "accent piece" when, in reality, it kills the whole room.} Love this gifted designer. Thanks for a great talent unveiling 🙏

[@richardgraham5598]

exudes comfort effortlessly stylized wonderful color palette and landscape.....

[@swingingdaniel]

Highly inspirational. I will buy the book and try to find out more. This will become a point of reference for my future renovation project. Bravo!!

[@Schumacher1889]

We are so happy that you enjoyed Shawn and his work as much as we do! Good luck with your project!!

[@MTMF.london]

I love everything about his house except for the TV hung on top of the fireplace. I think it always looks wrong - way too high up and competing attention with the fireplace.

[@edytarog150]

Very Nordic:)
