The Upstate Living Journal
On the eve of launching Buy North, an exclusive partnership between And North and our very own real estate collective, and nearing their 8 year brand birthday, our Brand Director Tia sits down with Emma to discuss the And North Creative Director’s favorite spots upstate, her inspiration for founding the brand, and some insight into her own interior style.
Our team recently launched an exquisite 19th century Italianate Manse on the village of Catskill’s historic Main street, so it felt like perfect timing to share some of our favorite spots in the area.
The Hudson Valley has lately become the epicenter of experimental, artistic, and creative design, and the swiftly growing culture of boutique hospitality destinations is no exception. In this selection, we have chosen six avant-garde hotels and inns that have excelled in their design choices and unique curated experiences.
Hudson-based Interior Designer Liz Lipkin’s on-the-job and off-the-job love for scouting unique furniture makes her one of our favorite sources for advice on blending different styles and eras cohesively within the architecture of your home. Ever generous with her tips and tricks, Liz shares with us a selection of her favorite decor resources in the Hudson Valley, tips to keep in mind before purchasing vintage and antique pieces, as well as her personal advice on how to make a rental feel more like home
