Hi! We’re Anna & Arnold.
We met nearly 15 years ago while working at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where we first felt true hospitality and the power of creating experiences that feel effortless and organic, graceful and impactful. This sensibility still permeates everything we do.
Wynnifred was born from our belief that home should be a sacred space, and that we can all infuse more beauty, quality, and efficiency into the everyday moments of our lives. We feel lucky to call the Hudson Valley home.
