A stay-at-home mom who found her penchant for design while raising three young children has made her house a home, full of affordable thrifted gems, combining French, English, and traditional design.

Originally from New Jersey, Leah Kroeber, 48, lives in New York with her husband, and three children aged 22, 18, and 14. She was inspired by the American designer Charles Faudree to start playing with different decor styles at home, eventually settling on the French country style as her favorite for its warmth and liveability.
