Many of you have likely seen this beautiful home, the “Hog House,” owned and designed by Manhattan interior designer Richard McGeehan. Elle Décor featured the space in their March 2012 issue. McGeehan’s family has owned the property on which the Hog House sits for generations. A Manhattan resident, McGeehan was seeking a place outside of the busyness of city life. He redesigned the hog house, (it was originally a hog house, literally), into a purposely small retreat. A space was purposed to lack the room for clutter. The original structure and McGeehan’s decision to maintain its patina, poorly insulated windows and all, give the space an authenticity which cannot be manufactured. Inside I am enamored by the whimsy—the juxtaposition of the modern and the traditional, the emotive and the restrained. Enjoy your weekend.
