Count down to June 20th!!

I have SO many details that I am excited to share with you all!! First of all, we have a move-in date!!! On JUNE 20th the Strommens will be packing up the little carriage house and moving into what we call "the big house." We are beyond excited!! I can't wait to share all the decorating details, but those will have to wait until construction is complete. Get ready for lots of fun wall-coverings, yummy fabrics, fun finds from Nantucket and all the little details that make a house a home! Here's a peak at what's happening at 980 Shady!

Spindles are in!

Tile work in girl's baths.

Shadow boxes are in!

Cool vintage lights in boy's room!

Spring has sprung!

There is something about Spring that just encourages change! I swear, it is these days, where the temperature is rising, you can hear the drip-drop of the melting snow and the birds signing along in perfect rhythm that makes the anticipation of it all so rewarding! And I for one, am ready for change! It has been almost a year since we moved into the carriage house (which I adore,) but I can honestly say, it's time to move! The builders are now off of the second level, which means the painters are right behind them! The master bed is built and breathtaking, the "oval office" is complete, the boy's floor has its first coat of camp green paint and I, along with the help of Nan from The Sitting Room have made final decisions on all wall coverings. Also, Jon's wife, Mary and I are just tweaking our final lighting decisions. Mary has an amazing eye and I am so lucky to have her input and ideas. She loves to incorporate vintage and new lighting, giving the house a lot of interest, charm and sophistication.
