It’s always a pleasure to discover the work of talented people and today I am really excited to share the home of an interior designer and her builder husband. Together, they designed and built this Modern Farmhouse Cottage that is as enchanting as it gets.
With interior design by Gray Apple Market founder, Sarah Inch, who’s also the author of the recently published book Modern HomeMaker , and built by Inch & Co. Construction, this beautiful residential home was completed about a year ago.
Please keep reading to get to know all the details about this inspiring Modern French Country Cottage, and don’t forget to pin your favorite pictures!
Note: All furniture is from Gray Apple Market – I will be selecting similar or actual products for your shopping convenience.
🌷🌷Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day!!! 💕💕🌷🌷🌷🌷
“We wanted this home to take a slight turn from the typical Modern Farmhouse style that you will find in South Central Pennsylvania. With many varying peaked rooflines, depths, and materials, it has the feel of an old country cottage. However when painted a creamy white exterior and typical white windows swapped out for black, the home becomes modernized. Trailing behind is a large black barn that adds contrast and compliments the white home. The home is accented with a small flower garden to the left of the driveway.” – Sarah Inch
Siding: Vertical James Hardie Cement Board, painted “old style” brick, and horizontal cement siding.

“My husband jokes and like to call this project the “Ferrari” due to the home being small but having many high-end finishes. We mixed materials in the home to keep it unique and blend French country cottage with modern trends and finishes. There is planed down reclaimed red oak, real stone, polished marble, new white oak wood, and ceramic tiles.” – Sarah Inch
Sarah’s home features many trendy elements that are beautifully complemented by vintage pieces. She’s really good at what she does!

“Jeff and I have always loved the look of black barns, so he built his garage to mimic a barn. The dark color contrasts well with the off-white house. Inside his garage is a basketball court, a full gym complete with a sauna, hyperbaric chamber and cold plunge. He also keeps his restored 1972 Bronco in here.” – Sarah Inch
