Some places don’t just hold history—they live it. Our recent visit to Mayhurst Estate, built in 1859, felt less like stepping into the past and more like stepping into centuries of living history. Tucked into the Virginia countryside, surrounded by acres once walked between Montpelier and Monticello, the landscape carries a quiet sense of continuity—ideas, craft, and care passed gently from one generation to the next. The house itself feels almost cinematic, reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice—romantic and layered with original antiques and pieces that have earned their place through time. Nothing rushed. Nothing overdone. Just beauty shaped slowly. The Cashell family, who stewards Mayhurst today, has leaned fully into heritage as a way of life—teaching welding and glass blowing, honoring hand skills, raising their children with an understanding that making things well still matters. There are goats roaming the property, children learning by watching, and a deep respect for the house and its many stories. We brought our own family along for this visit, a reminder that Paloma has always been about more than objects. It’s about what’s passed down—stories, skills, spaces, and the feeling of belonging to something enduring. We are honored and so lucky to collaborate on heirloom rugs for a home that understands legacy not as nostalgia, but as a way of life. Which feels exactly like Paloma Home.
