Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill, partners in life and business through interiors and architecture studio Hendricks Churchill have published their first book, Our Way Home: Reimagining An American Farmhouse, which was released this past September. The book provides an inside look into the couple’s own historic home in Sharon, which they lovingly restored for their own family. 

Our Way Home tells the story of Ellsworth, the 19th-century home located on 33 acres of an old dairy farm. The house was admired by the couple from afar for 15 years until it finally came onto the market at a time when Hendricks and Churchill were ready to purchase. Today, the residence represents the culmination of the couple’s creative backgrounds and personal approach to architecture and interior design, presenting a home that’s both traditionally reverent yet whimsical and modern. A strong, classic foundation rooted in authenticity is complemented by warmth, patina, and a quiet sense of play throughout each room as told within the pages. 

Hendricks Churchill is representative of the couple’s powerful alliance, who have been married for 25 years. Churchill is an award-winning architect who designs homes that sensitively respond to historical precedent while providing modern amenities adapted for contemporary living. Hendricks is a talented interior designer who specializes in utilizing furnishings in a comfortable and eclectic way that look as though they were accumulated over time.
