Several months ago, I did a post with this sneak peak of our living room. The hope was that the photos, taken by John Bessler, for our designer, Lauren Muse’s portfolio would be published in a magazine. That day has finally come…this month, Connecticut Cottages and Gardens has featured our home in the March issue! The focus is “Rethink, Renew, Refresh-Embrace the Season of Change!” Our feature entitled “Room To Grow” written by Dana White, tells the story of our renovation project, working with Lauren Muse, and finally starting this blog. Once it’s on the magazine’s website, I’ll be sure to link to it! For now, these are the photos of our home.

The day of the shoot, I took a lot of “behind the scenes” photos. I plan on sharing them here in the near future. Hope you enjoyed this tour of our newly “refreshed” spaces.
Sue – SO exciting!!!Congratulations!! Just LUV CT C&G!! Your home is absolutely stunning!! But I am of course not surprised in the least! I remember when I first saw the photo of the living room that I wished I could have seen more – can't wait for the issue to be live!!!
What a beautiful home you have, I love the browns and oranges in the hub's study. Oh could you tell me more about the ' elipse" painting above the fireplace – I want! Oh and great rugs – I can never find rugs.
Oh, congrats, Sue! This is so wonderful. Your home is gorgeous. I LOVE your master bath and pool house… and I would love to have a mudroom. Can't wait to see the article when it comes out. Very exciting. xo
First off CONGRATS Sue- how fabulous!!! Secondly, your house is INSANELY GORGEOUS!! Every single photo made my jaw drop- the pool house, that mudroom (I'd literally kill for your mudroom,) the living room, the office- adore it all. I especially love all of the beautiful fabric you've used on pillows etc. and the beautiful furnishing are just so lovely. You have an absolutely beautiful home and congrats again on the publication- so deserved!!!! xo
How fun it is to see your beautiful home in the pages of one of my favorite shelter magazines! Lauren did a fabulous job and I know you had lots of input since these rooms have "zhush" written all over them… xxoo
Your house is RIDICULOUS!!! My sister's best friend lives in Fairfield and has asked me for some help with ideas for her living room overhaul and I immediately sent her this link. Your living room is perfection!
Fabulous house! Congratulations..Are you working with DJ Carrey? She photographed our house for one of the first issue of Cottages and Gardens. Can't wait to see the issue. have a great week, Francine
Sue, You are such a stylish gal with great taste, nice to see your home is a true reflection of you…gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! My favorite aspect of all the rooms, they all are stunningly beautiful yet look functional. Well done to your designer and no doubt, you had a strong hand on creating a utterly fabulous Zhush adode! Love!!
Oh My God. Seriously – your house looks like it should be in a magazine!!! Oh, right, it IS in a magazine!! Gorgeous, Sue. I'm so glad I'm reading my favorite blogs today. I love your office, and the master bath — do we get to see your master bedroom? I cannot wait to read the whole article. xoxo
Oh my goodness! This is UNREAL exciting! Your place is breathtaking….girl, you been holdin' out! This is some serious Elle Decor material you've got here. Hard to believe that children frolic freely and yet the beauty, oh the beauty, all intact and in one spotless piece 😉 What a labor of love this must've been. A major decor feat. Congrats, congrats, Alcira
Wow wow wow, so worth the wait to see more. First of all, congratulations! Second, your home is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous! Love all of the color, so bold! xoxooxo
~ I picked that up last week…and did a double take as I said, Wow. it looks like Zhush's living room that she posted…and indeed it is! Love it, so calm…pretty colors….lovely details. Where are all the random Chanel items? I thought you would have Chanel inlaid in the foyer or painted in a pop of purple somewhere…. pve
Your home is stunning! Congratulations on your spread from th looks of your home you deserve it. One sofa in your living room, is that covered in burlap? In the third picture….it looks amazing!
You would NOT believe how much I absolutely love your home…the styling and design is incredible! What an honor, congratulations on the feature. Have a good one!
Sue, I don't know if I have the right adjectives – they all seem to fall short! Your home is a stunner – I love every space you've shown us, but I think your office is my favorite! Congratulations!!!
Your home is absolutely gorgeous! Every room is just beautiful! I love all of the lighting and colors- I love it all! The poolhouse is so cool! Congratulations on the feature! 🙂

Congratulations! Your house deserved to be featured! I have noticed your appreciation for patterns and soft colours, the towel in the bathroom, and the carpets are what I believe are most eye catching from all objects around. They kind of embrace, actually lay the foundations of true chic in your home! I have also loved the quote on white background picture. When you get a minute go see my Chanel quote on my blog and tell me what you think. http://mosaicology.blogspot.com/2011/03/inspiring-quote-by-coco-chanel-on-hard.html
Oh my goodness your home is just stunning!! Congratulations on these photos being published.They are all so beautiful but I absolutely love that bathroom!!!!!

I have just read through all of your comments (whew) and no one else asked this so am feeling like I am at risk of displaying my ignorance but…what is that on the cornice, reflected in the mirror (3rd picture)? Appears to have 8 "legs", haha. Angex

I believe I've already commented, but I saw you over at Things That Sparkle and couldn't help but to come back for another look. Truly beautiful, Sue! Also loved your anecdote about the Eames rocking chair 🙂
Your house looks AMAZING! I would love to know where the daybed is from, I have been searching for a similar style for ages! xo
