ABOVE Because the original
house would have had
freestanding wardrobes but no
other storage, the new master
bedroom features a built-in
wardrobe wall in lieu of a walk-
in closet. ABOVE RIGHT “The
marble backsplash reminds me
of beautiful Victorian buffets with
marble or arched backs,” Sherri
says. ABOVE, FAR RIGHT Sherri
painted the tub to blend with the
master bath’s soft palette. “You
can’t have a farmhouse without a
claw-foot tub,” she says. “It’s an
unwritten law.” RIGHT The bath
contrasts timeless materials with a
minimalist modern shower.

“MY WHOLE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS

LIKE WHEN YOU MEET THE MAN YOU’RE

SUPPOSED TO MARRY: YOU JUST KNOW.”
