Our New Home – A Quick Tour

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know we’ve recently moved (two months ago!) from our New York house to our new home here in Connecticut.

Over the summer and right up until the day before we moved in here, I took part in the popular “One Room Challenge” wherein I crazily attempted to renovate our kitchen (above) along with the help of Muse Interiors in six short weeks.

Well, the kitchen was mostly done when the six weeks wrapped and we moved in here.

However, it wasn’t fully complete (actually, it’s still not 100% finished-you can see the tape on one of the cabinets where the handle hardware should be!)

I wanted to have professional photos done to really showcase all the work right.

So, last month, Nicole Cohen of Sketch42 came up here from the city and took some amazing images, including my still yet to be finished kitchen.

Anyway, today Domaine is running a full home tour of our house along with an interview.

I selected several of my favorites to feature here as well, along with as many sources as I can remember.

For all the kitchen sources, please be sure to check out the “One Room Challenge” post as they are all listed there!

I’ll be back tomorrow with a few more highlights and sources and also some of the rooms and images that haven’t been seen on Domaine.

I’m very excited to talk about the beautiful selection of vintage jewelry and fashion accessories recently added to the fabulous Chairish site. Maybe you’ve heard of Chairish already? Making a big splash in the home decor world, Chairish is an online market place where design lovers can buy and sell vintage furnishings and art. There’s even an app where you can buy and sell right from your phone! (If you’re already reading this on a mobile device – here’s the direct app link). The whole concept is brilliant and the selection is amazing.
With Holiday soirees and gift giving right around the corner, the new vintage fashion department at Chairish couldn’t have come at a better time! To say I’m obsessed with this idea would be an understatement. There are so many amazing pieces guaranteed to up the chic level on any outfit, it was hard for me to narrow it down to these twelve here…I’d love for you to head on over to Chairish and see the full curated collection that I was thrilled to put together for this fun and addictive site!

Insta-lations

I’ve been talking about our move to Connecticut for months and now the big day has finally arrived. The movers have already started to disassemble our lives here in New York and we hope to be somewhat settled by Friday. In other words, we’re in the center of our big move right now. I don’t know what our internet connection will be like these next few days or even if I’ll be able to find my computer….

Until these things come together, you can find me over on Instagram under @zhush. I’ll continue to post parts of the new house as things slowly come together. I’m really resisting the urge to publicly whine here…it’s a beautiful house and we chose to do this move to eventually make our lives easier. But I’m not someone that deals well with change and upheaval (not to mention dust and disorder). I’ve had no less than three mini melt downs today alone.

Each time I post a part of the new house to Instagram I get a little lift from  the “likes” and kind comments. The advice to “remember not to pack the scissors!” was a recent fave during an otherwise altogether stressful week. Thanks for the encouragement and hope to see you all back here tomorrow.

PS: Thanks also for the great feedback on yesterday’s kitchen reveal!
