Step inside a Michigan farmhouse 20 years in the making. In this Designer Home Tour, we visit a beautifully renovated home in Southwest Michigan, where designers Rebekah Zaveloff and Nick Nichols transformed a falling-down farmhouse into a design forward retreat.
Originally discovered by accident after a wrong turn, this Michigan farmhouse renovation became a decades-long labor of love. What began as a weekend escape from Chicago evolved into a full-time residence with a seamless connection to a converted barn.
Rooted in Michigan wine country, the home blends small space design expertise with relaxed, countryside living. From hotel inspired ensuite bedrooms to a multifunctional barn turned media room and office, every detail reflects a balance of practicality and beauty.
