Rachel and Nick Cope, founders of Calico Wallpaper, sought a rural refuge in New York’s Hudson Valley during the pandemic to raise their family. They discovered an ideal home in Ghent with ample space, eco-friendly construction, and good schools, dubbed 'blueberry.' Their two-year transformation involved friends and community designers, resulting in elegantly personalized interiors. Highlighting local artistry, they incorporated pieces from admired New York designers, while also featuring their own work with a restrained approach. The Cope family's newfound home fosters both creativity and a connected, family-friendly environment.
To sit there every morning, look up, and see this beautiful handmade piece by a friend is amazing, says Rachel. Adds Nick: It's a nice way to surround yourself with work from people in the community you really respect.
It checked every box, recalls Rachel, citing the property's generous acreage, environmentally conscious construction, pond, and proximity to a like-minded school for their son and daughter.
