This is my final post about my trip to Connecticut. Last but not least, my buddy, Dude has finally complied with my request for a house tour of her gorgeous home. It reminds me of the house in "Something's Gotta Give" with its soft palate and comfortable interior.
This is the view from my guest room. I never wanted to move out!
Dude and her hubby built this house eight years ago. They chose the perfect waterfront lot.
This is one of three comfortable living areas on the first floor.
This is the living room. To me this screams beachy elegance.
Love the mantel.
I didn't know Dude loved books so much. She hardly ever picked one up during school.
This is another sitting room/ office area. So cozy.
Powder room.
There are flashes of blue and white throughout the house.
In love with the kitchen!
Great touches.
Lots of blue and white!
What a great sun room!
Cute way of stashing mags.
Dude told me that she picked these prints up at a great consignment shop in Westport. Next visit - I'm making that my #1 stop. Footnote: that's where Paul Newman lived. Dude stole his half eaten brownie once. I'll let her tell you the story.
What a fabulous house to entertain!
Thanks, Dude, for a great tour of your gorgeous home. Don't let anybody else sleep in my room!
I'm taking the next few weeks off from my high pressure job of blogging. I am off to Supermodel Trophy Wife Camp. I need to check in once a year to get certified for another year.
Hope you enjoy every minute of the last days of summer!
Stay safe!

O. M. G. The gorgeousness is beyond. Dude's kitchen is truly drool worthy! If I had realized Domino's paid so well I would have applied for a position years ago!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy camp! You so deserve some down time from your rigorous model life but whatever are we going to do without you? Some serious depression will be spread across the land with a daily dose of Katie!

Wow...Dude's home is magnificent! I would love a home on the water...and her "coastal chic" is spot on! Have fun at "Supermodel Camp"...no doubt you will win the "Best Camper" award! ":)
ReplyDeleteDude's kitchen is absolute perfection!!!! Simple yet so elegant! I also love the powder room esp. the paint color; very striking! Have fun at supermodel camp; please share hair & make-up tips. You will need to bring home Chowder a special gift as I am certain he will miss his mommy & daddy very much. xoxo, Dawn

ReplyDeleteI love everything!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of character in that house, Katie. I especially love the sun room, and the way Dude has decorated. It's a cozy place, and I'm sure she and her hubby put in a lot of work to make it as such. Anyway, your friend is very lucky to have such a wonderful home. Thanks for sharing that! Have a nice day! :)
