"Five Points, a magnificent country home, equidistant between Rhinebeck and Hudson, New York, is the beneficiary of Cognoscenti's subtlety to such an extent that you would utterly fail to appreciate their work unless you saw the pre-cognoscenti pictures. Boring? I know. We all hate those before and after pictures. But the thing is, Five Points looks like it has always been, well, Five Points. You simply can¹t imagine that only four years ago, this was a house so down on its luck that it had been abandoned by all. Now you assume that this inherited look with an ever so genteel fraying at the edges has been working a slow uninterrupted passage through generations of well traveled family members leaving their stamp in the form of a picture picked up in a Paris flea market, a mid-century chair from Prague, rugs from Istanbul or Slim Aarons style photographs of families with good teeth having a great old time in sun kissed climes."
