Shawn Lang is a designer and one half of The Farmhouse Project. Along with his partner, Kris Prepelica, Shawn left the big city and decided to slow down and simplify by moving into a historic farmhouse in upstate New York. From there, their online brand, shop, design inspiration, and restoration of their 1800 farmhouse began. They describe themselves as “modern-day gents living the old-world way.”
Today, their lives are filled with the things that bring joy: entertaining, cooking, gardening, and learning to live off the land. They also started a line of home goods, all unique and sustainably made. On any given day, you can find them working on a project in their onsite studio, putting the final touches on a room, gardening, feeding chickens, or dreaming up a new cocktail recipe.
