A Stylish Irish Cottage

On the west coast of Ireland a young couple transformed their existing out-dated cottage into a modern stylish abode. They worked with architect Stephen Walton to renovate and extend their Menlo, Galway home with the goal of making it more conducive to their modern life. Owners Deirdre and Evan Noone wanted to keep the character of the original building while introducing light and a new open floor plan. The home features original rustic elements like exposed stone and wooden doors along with industrial and modern materials like vintage tractor seats for stools and colorful textiles. Many of the furniture pieces reflect Deirdre's eclectic style combining found objects with modern whimsical touches. It is a wonderful mix of old and new that reflects perfectly this young couple's funky modern style.
