Pond House
I absolutely adore this pond house interior from Washington, CT. My mother must have raised me to love birch because I love these railings acting as aesthetic (and practical!) dividers. The whole room appears to be so grounded. Also mixing the … Continue reading

Hartford
Hey Everyone, I’m still in Spain, but I saw a couple of great things today. One is the work of Brian Cook, a Manchester Graphic Designer, who created an imaginary metro system for Hartford – give it a couple years, … Continue reading

Child’s Paradise
I swear that I posted this picture before, thinking that it’s a genius idea for kids to have a great place to grow up and for adults to still feel young at heart. However, I did not. The good news, … Continue reading

I lovelovelove Grand Central Station. The lights, the skylights, the ceiling murals, everything about it. It was really a beautiful restoration.

Frosted Glass Kitchen
I love this kitchen. The frosted glass, the dark good, the farm sink, the marble countertops and backsplash, the hot water tab above the stove…this is a chef’s dream. While this is formally has a masculine kitchen decor, it isn’t … Continue reading

The Big Moose Inn
The Big Moose Inn, in Millinocket, Maine, is where I have grown up. Granted, I have grown away from there too. I can always go back and it is always welcoming and I am always in awe of it as … Continue reading

Brooklyn Cool
This house is to die for! The residents of it are Lyndsay Caleo and Fitzhugh Karol. Lyndsay is a goldsmith and Fitzhugh makes wonderful pieces of woodwork. I love the shelves and the island countertop and especially the knife cutout … Continue reading

Catskills in Connecticut
In this heat, an old fashioned campground sounds about right. Whatever happened to the Catskills anyway? I grew up going to the Catskills Game Farm and some wild west park next door during the summer with my little brother and … Continue reading

Farmhouse
I know that these two pictures aren’t from the same house, but they so easily go together. I love the simplicity and the whimsy of each. I wish I had a house on a rolling hill with overgrown grass! I … Continue reading

Loft living
dornob, Judy Ko If you have high enough ceilings, a loft is a great idea! It not only allows your more space, but you’re paying less of a premium because there is less actual floor space (in my experience). It’s … Continue reading

Stairs
These stairs are great! I lovelovelove the old, matte wood floors with white painted on the sides to create the illusion of a runner.

Cheney House
I love this Cheney Mansion so much. Other than a couple more rotten pieces of wood, it looks about the same as it did in the winter. Okay, you caught me, the rocking chair moved a little to the left. … Continue reading

It’s Complicated
{Remodelista, Judy Ko, White Floors} This is the kitchen from It’s Complicated. I watched it this weekend and it had me laughing – hard. More importantly, it had me in awe of its kitchen – and questioning why it would … Continue reading

Summer Attic
This beautifully designed attic just screams summer cabin. I’m in love (especially with that chandelier). It’s perfect the way it is, but these are some things that I think would fit in nicely: National Park Pillows, an Airstream parked out back, … Continue reading

A Converted B&B
This kitchen was done on a budget, but didn’t it turn out wonderful? It looks completely custom done, but here’s the million dollar secret: it’s IKEA. IKEA is obviously known for its Norwegian looks – very streamline, but the Brubaker’s … Continue reading

5 Centre Market Place – Finally for Sale
Yesterday’s house was an interior disappointment, today’s speaks for itself, inside and out. The Novogratz’s have done it again. We’ve all watched their Bravo show 9 by Design and been waiting for this townhouse to be ready. Here it is! … Continue reading

East Haddam
This property is gorgeous…from the outside. The Victorian house is immaculate on the outside, I would expect the same era appropriateness on the inside. However, it is a bit outdated – which is fine, but can a house built in … Continue reading
