Elevated Elegance: The Tree House Project by Pompanoosuc Mills
6:18

Nestled among the wooded landscapes of Vermont, the Tree House project was a unique opportunity to design and furnish a spacious bedroom surrounded by towering trees and abundant natural light. With expansive windows framing the forest views, our goal was to create a bedroom that not only celebrates its breathtaking natural setting but also elevates the everyday living experience. At Pompanoosuc Mills, our commitment to fine craftsmanship and timeless design shines through in every piece chosen to complement and enhance this extraordinary space.

A Vision Rooted in Nature

A BLANK SLATE | THE SPACE

The Tree House project began with a clear vision: to design a bedroom that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings while offering the comforts of modern living. Drawing inspiration from the towering trees and the tranquil ambiance of the Vermont woods, the architectural design emphasizes organic forms, natural materials, and expansive windows that invite the outdoors in.

Craftsmanship Meets Design

A PLACE TO REST | THE PLAN

Central to the Tree House's allure is the bespoke furniture crafted by Pompanoosuc Mills. Each piece is meticulously designed to reflect the home's architectural nuances, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout. From the rich grains of sustainably sourced hardwoods to the subtle curves that echo the home's structural elements, our furniture serves as both functional pieces and works of art.
 
It was important to have a calming harmonious space, nothing cluttered or overdone; one that echoed the feel of the room. The client wanted a functional style that compliments rather than overwhelms the space. Somewhere to sleep, somewhere to store belongings and a little sitting area to enjoy the view were the mandates for the final design.

THE FLOORPLAN

Careful not to overwhelm the grand scale of the space, we drew a plan that offered just what was needed to fill the room with functional beauty.

The north-facing wall with two windows and overhead fan determined the bed placement. The skylights and glass french doors on the opposite end lent themselves to a serene sitting area perfect to drink a morning coffee while reading the news, or just watching the seasons pass.

Interior Spaces That Inspire

FURNITURE SELECTION | TIMELESS YET MODERN

The interior design of the Tree House bedroom started with a clean canvas — an expansive, light-filled space surrounded by towering trees and natural beauty. Our goal was to curate a collection of handcrafted furniture that would elevate the living experience while honoring the organic shapes just beyond the windows.

We selected pieces that share a quiet elegance and subtle curves, creating harmony both within the room and with the landscape outside. At the heart of the space is our best-selling Waterbury Bed, crafted in solid cherry hardwood with a gently curved headboard that softens its clean, modern lines. Flanking the bed are Vernon Nightstands, their signature curved legs echoing the natural, organic forms of the surrounding woods.

For storage, we chose the Chelsea 6-Drawer Dresser and Chelsea Wardrobe, both designed with gracefully bowed fronts that add an understated sophistication. The wardrobe, in particular, serves as a statement piece — built from rich cherry and accented with natural maple, a thoughtful nod to the maple trees that dot the property.

At the foot of the bed, we created a cozy seating area featuring two Vershire Chairs, chosen for their small footprint and exceptional comfort. Positioned between them is a Strafford End Table in maple, offering a perfect perch for a book or a cup of coffee. This quiet corner faces large French doors, where late autumn light filters through the trees, scattering dappled patterns across the room and blurring the line between indoors and out.

Each element — from the furniture to the natural textiles and soft color palette — was selected to complement the home's serene wooded setting, creating a bedroom that feels elevated, timeless, and deeply connected to nature.

 

CHELSEA DRESSER
The Chelsea line of dressers features a gentle bowed front and elegant tapered legs projecting a supremely serene personality.

WATERBURY BED  
Simple and modern. The Waterbury bed has a unique angled headboard, perfect for reading in bed. The platform base lacks a traditional footboard to enhance the openness of the room.

VERNON NIGHTSTAND
A bestseller. The signature curved legs of our vernon collection echo the arc of the Waterbury headboard and the bowed front Chelsea dressers. Coordinated, purposely non-matching style.

DESIGNER BENCH
With it’s clean, honest lines, the designer collection is perfectly suited to a space where function is elevated above ornamentation.

VERSHIRE ARMCHAIR
The Vershire Chair is a versatile and modern piece that suits nearly any style. Chosen for this space as it pairs comfort with style.

Finishing Touches: Thoughtful Details That Bring the Bedroom to Life

HOME DECOR | COMPLETING THE LOOK
 

At Pompanoosuc Mills, we believe a truly remarkable space is created not only through fine furniture, but through the thoughtful layers of texture, light, and personal detail that make a room feel alive. To complete the Tree House bedroom, we curated a collection of home décor pieces — rugs, lighting, throws, bedding, and more — selected with the same care and craftsmanship as the furniture itself.

We source our home decor from makers and vendors who share our values: a deep commitment to quality, timeless beauty, and sustainability. Every item, from the handwoven rugs underfoot to the softly textured bedding, was chosen to enhance the natural warmth of the space without overpowering it.

Lighting was carefully placed to highlight the room’s best features — the gentle curves of the furniture, the subtle grain of the hardwoods, and the natural flow of light through the windows. Cozy throws and pillows add layers of softness, inviting you to slow down and savor the surroundings. Together, these pieces transform the Tree House bedroom into an elevated retreat — a place where every detail feels considered, personal, and lasting.

RUGS
Here we started with a large area rugs from our in-house brand InnerAsia. A large 8’ X 10’ was placed under the bed and just in front of the nightstands. The rug grounds the space and sets the color tone for the rest of the room.

LIGHTING
For bedside lighting we selected retro style arched lamps with industrial metal shades from Lampscapes of White River Vermont. The wood lamp on the dresser has a similar scaled down feeling, same for the lamp on the wardrobe across the room.

ARTWORK
The wall over the dresser features another Vermont artisan with the simple yet engaging framed barn print.

BEDDING
The super queen bedding in a simple beige ticking stripe adds some visual texture as it keeps the feel casual.

The artfully thrown cotton throw from Bronte Moon is produced on looms over 100 years old.
