Alright kids. I have been procrastinating on my first post back, and while I still have not done my own apartment justice in the photographic documentation department, I did manage to do a pretty thorough job capturing the country house of one of my interior design idols (and pseudo-uncle), Mr. John Benjamin Hickey. I don't know how this was my first jaunt up to see the place since he upgraded from a teeny little cottage to this multi-bedroom (I believe there were four?) stunner in Lakeville, Connecticut, but now that I know what he's been hiding up there I will be sure to take any and every invitation I can get from now on.
Mom and I went up in the fall to hit all the fabulous antique stores in the area, and while we got a few major scores, you will just have to wait to see 'em til I get some decent photos. For now, some drool-worthy images of Hickey's country hideaway are all I've got for ya... but something tells me they will do just fine :)

| Late afternoon arrival... |
 |
| Open, airy living room. Love the wacky orange - Hickey is a master at picking quirky accent colors and making them fabulous |
 |
| The work-in-progress sun room off the living room |
 |
| Seriously. This staircase. Gimme! |
 |
| Lofty kitchen, aerial view |
 |
| The wood in this house is just amazing. |
 |
| Guest room number one (a.k.a. my room) |
 |
| It was impossible to go to sleep in this room, I was too busy trying to plot how to steal this chair and industrial shelving. Seriously. To DIE for. |
 |
| Downstairs bathroom - amazing how he manages to make butter-yellow appliances and laminate countertops look deliberate... and even a little sexy. |
 |
| Guest bedroom number two (a.k.a. Mom's bedroom) |
 |
| Love this little library nook |
 |
| Master bedroom: bliss. |
 |
| The view. I mean, seriously?? |
 |
| Hello, woodland backyard... |
 |
| Idyllic. |
 |
| Mom and Lulu frolicking near Hickey's backyard pond. Tough life, eh? |
Oh man. A girl can dream, huh? What a gorgeous escape. Gives me something to aspire to someday... Hope you all enjoyed the eye candy and I promise I'll get you something related to my little abode ASAP! :)
