A Vermont home - full of nature and autumn inspiration

This home is featured in the most recent issue of Country Living - and I really like it.  It's country but not too sweet, and nature-inspired, but does it in a unique way.  See below-

What initially attracted me to this story was the homeowner - Laura Zindel's amazing earthy ceramics. Perfect for Halloween! You can purchase and/or read more about her ceramics on her site.


Laura and her husband commissioned Amish craftsmen to make all the furniture in their dining room


The home has a an interesting history. The original owner supposedly turned down many potential buyers.  He kept meticulous records of the home, and wanted the new owners to respect it's history.  One such example is the wallpaper in the master bedroom, which was installed by the original owner's (an elderly man) mother.  Laura livened up the wallpaper with sunny curtains from Anthropologie.

Can anyone source this bench?

Last week in my chalkboard post there was a photo with this bench. You can see the 2009 House of the Year tour with this photo here at Country Living. One of our community members wrote to ask for the source of the red bench. I poked around a bit on Country Living's website and didn't find anything. I've written to the editors to see if they might know, but in the meantime I thought one of you might have an idea!

Here's some similar benches I found:
