North Shore Farmhouse
All of us here at Authentic Designs are thrilled to be featured in the latest episode of the classic TV series This Old House !
This year's season is called North Shore Farmhouse. Over the course of 10 episodes, the show follows homeowners Bill and April Harb as they work with Connor Homes to build a traditional 19th century-style farmhouse from scratch, in the town of Essex on the Massachusetts coast. They’re combining traditional styles, modern materials and innovative building methods.
It has been great working with the Harbs, Connor Homes, and the professional and kind crew from This Old House. We’re delighted that they chose us to provide some period lighting fixtures. We fabricated several historic reproductions for this project, including the models shown below:
