The brief

The owner runs Baton Rouge House for groups and needed every piece to survive a long weekend without looking like event furniture. We specified seating for a large party, a table that takes a grocery drop, and paths wide enough for bags. The photographs still read as a proper inn, not a bunkhouse.

Two rooms

Bedroom at Baton Rouge House with a made bed, a long dresser, and a vaulted ceiling

Baton Rouge House living room with a stone fireplace, a sofa, and two chairs

Dining table at Baton Rouge House set for a group under a vaulted ceiling, with the kitchen beyond — The table takes a grocery drop at one end without clearing the place settings.

Kitchen at Baton Rouge House with a wood island, white cabinets, and a view to the field — The island is specified for a party of twelve, with a path that still reaches the door.

Covered porch at Baton Rouge House with a sofa, two chairs, and a stone fireplace — Porch seating for the same group, without filling the rail.

Bunk bedroom at Baton Rouge House with a made bunk and a wood night table — We dressed the bunk room as a bedroom, not as overflow seating.

Game room at Baton Rouge House with a foosball table and a sofa against a white wall — The basement holds the games so the great room can stay a sitting room.

Baton Rouge House kitchen and living room in one volume, with a path between the island and the sofa — Seating is grouped for a party, with a path that still reaches the kitchen.

Outcome

The house turns after a group stay with the same photographs we took on install day.
