#Blogfest 2011: Who I Met
Jen Ramos of MadeByGirl, Me, Abbe Fenimore of studioten25, Beth Dotolo of PulpDesignStudio, Ashlina Kaposta of The Decorista

It was a lot of fun meeting up with so many of the people behind the blogs! 

My only regret was not meeting everyone that I’d hoped to meet. 

It was a jammed packed day full of design related events, I only wish there was more time between lectures for intros and photo ops. 

Here are some of the ladies I met.

Others not shown that I had the pleasure of chatting with are Chassity from Look, Linger, Love, Linda from Surroundings, Janell from Isabella and Max Rooms, Stacy from StacyStyle, Marisa from StyleBeat, Nicole from Sketch42, Stacy from Quintessence and so many more…

It’s always great to meet with fellow bloggers because we share all these common interests. 

Speaking of all things “blogging” I hope you’ll check out my interview over at the Blogstress Network where they were kind enough to feature The Zhush as the blog of the month!

Thanks ladies!

Traditional White Kitchen – A Peek Inside of Ours

I’ve always loved a traditional white kitchen!

A peek inside our traditional white kitchen

Here is a little peek inside my kitchen!

As you can see, like many, I’m really partial to white kitchens.

If you’re wondering where all the clutter is…it’s in piles right behind where I’m standing (I moved it all for the photo:)

But seriously, here’s a little bit about our kitchen.

The counter tops are marble.

I’ve got a great post for your if you’re wondering about marble vs. quartz counter tops!

Vermont Mud {Room}

our ski house mud room

Vermont might be the muddiest state with spring being it’s muddiest season. Unlike here in New York, the mudroom in Vermont is the work horse of the home…not only storing everyone’s bulky outerwear, but also preventing muddy boots and shoes from entering the house as well. I took these shots of our mud room during a rare uncluttered moment…we were closing up the place for the season. The last shot is a blurry “before” photo I took of the mudroom three years ago, right after we bought the place. As soon as I snapped the photo, I knew the ketchup red walls had to go, and that this Brunschwig & Fils “faux log cabin” paper would be perfect here. I even convinced my husband to let me cover up some of the wood paneling~ (ironically, with faux wood).
