Adventures In Styleland!

Showhouse 2011

Well I may as well start letting my fans know that showhouse is starting!!!!  It is with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm that Vanguard is announcing the 2011 Showhouse!  Saturday February 19th and Sunday February 20th, 2011 is sneak a peak at the Vanguard Showhouse, located this year at 10/12 Stafford Road,  Loudonville,  NY . 

  Nathaniel and Kevin Bette (the owners) are bringing this historical property back to its original grandeur, while the renovation will restore most of the property there are many changes and updates that will also bring this home into the 21st century.

A little history on the home… It was completed in 1841 and occupied by William Shepard. He was a New York Assemblyman, Judge and Merchant. William Shepard purchased the property from Stephan van Rensselaer IV who was the son of the last Patroon, Stephan Van Rensselaer III.  Come and see this beautiful home as it stands. It has already had a ton of work done, the roof was replaced, facade has been sand blasted to return the brick to its original color,and some landscaping has been done. This lovely home has so much potential. Can’t wait to see what the designers come up with for their rooms… I know that mine will be Fantastic…

I’ll include some pictures after sneak a peak. Hope to see you there!

XOXO

OMG!!!  Today is going to be one of those days! I am having 11 girls over for a sleep over for my daughter Giovanna. Gi as we call her, is having friends from the barn over. Both of my girls are equestrians. The barn we ride at is JHA (Just Horsing Around). This adventure began on Tuesday when Gi asked to have a few friends over Friday night.
A FEW always turns into many very quickly. She made a list and of course we said yes!! Tonights menu:

Garbage Bread

Articoke and Spinach Dip

There are only so many things life can hand you before you decide to hand life back a little something of your own. I’m not sure what will come of this endeavor, but the one thing I am certain of, is it will be a fabulous adventure.  I hope you will visit me often as this story evolves. Check in tomorrow as I tell you about myself,  my design business and my quirky family (which now  includes: my wonderful husband, 2 teenage girls,one chocolate lab, 2 fish, a chinchilla, my best friend Laurene, her daughter Morgan and three delightful chihuahua’s).
