The brick Federal Style house is painted in a Benjamin Moore white.

Striped runners by Woodard & Greenstein animate the entrance hall, which is lit with an antique lantern; the early-19th-century tiger-maple demilune table and chairs were chosen because they match the banister, and the gilt-wood mirror is antique American.

A bust of Thomas Jefferson by Sculpture House Casting surveys the living room. The 19th-century chandelier was found in Denmark, and the Louis XVI fauteuils in the center are upholstered in a brown velvet by Old World Weavers from Stark. Between the windows, a 19th-century bas-relief of George Washington hangs above a circa-1805 New York Pembroke table.

The living room’s Massachusetts Federal sofa sits beneath a late-19th-century wallpaper panel from Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz Vintage Wallpapers; the sisal is by Beauvais Carpets.

DeVenco Products wood blinds shade the dining room, which is centered on an antique double-pedestal table from Thomas Schwenke; the Regency chairs from Doyle Antiques are cushioned with a woven horsehair from Scalamandré.

The lounge is furnished with an 1820s Philadelphia bookcase from Charles and Rebekah Clark, a Regency library stand from Sutter Antiques, and an antique gilt-wood overmantel mirror from Stair Galleries.

Vintage Windsor chairs surround a reproduction tavern-style table in the kitchen; the chandelier is by Period Lighting Fixtures, and a Beauvais sisal covers the painted original floorboards.

Argand-style sconces by JP-Tinsmith share the upstairs hall with an early-19th-century Danish portrait; the tiger-maple side chairs date from around 1820.

A circa-1810 four-poster stands in the master bedroom; the toile de Jouy canopy is lined in a Jasper fabric. The bobbin-turned English chair, circa 1850, is from Susan Silver Antiques, and the striped armchair is William IV; the bed linens are by Restoration Hardware, and the carpet is by Beauvais.

Decorator Bruce Shostak stands at the front door of Hillstead, the Federal-era house in Claverack, New York, he shares with Craig Fitt. The home was renovated with consultant Jeremiah Rusconi.
