Hi friends, this past weekend, I went on a rare outing. Yes, we really don’t go out like we used to without exaggeration. But we ventured to a wonderful small show house at Caumsett Park in Lloyd Harbor. If you are in the area, it’s worth going to.<\/p>\n

Its not a huge place hence the name “Summer Cottage”\u00a0 but it was very charming and frankly it was just so nice to be out! Spearheaded by renowned Andrew Giambertone of CT. this historic home\/cottage underwent a significant renovation and was then turned into a show house for approx 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

We went on a picture perfect fall day and went right when they opened so it was just us and a handful of others. It was very nice and then we took a walk around the grounds. I thought it would make for a fun post to share the highlights because I know we all<\/em> love and appreciate good design, not to mention any kind of beautiful diversion from what’s going on in our world right now.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed it and of course had my camera handy. I had fun noticing a lot of details which I tried to get pictures of. Here are the highlights, hope you enjoy seeing them, next best thing to being there.<\/p>\n

If you are in the area, click here for information.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> I believe its on for another 4 or 5 weeks (but do check before going).<\/p>\n

This vignette reminded me to be on the lookout for another bust. I had a beautiful alabaster antique bust from my other house and it broke during our move, I was so upset. Note to self- be on the lookout for a replacement pronto!<\/p>\n

Any particular room get your<\/em> attention? Which was your favorite? I think overall it was really nicely done. I love the feeling of a stately and elegant older home getting reinvented with fresh modern touches. I think the juxtaposition is just beautiful, but it’s sad that at least around here, it seems no one really wants the older homes anymore. They have a really hard time selling, think the upkeep and maintenance is just too much.<\/p>\n
