vermont cottage fixer-upper...

i get sent all kinds of local design magazines here at work, which is fun because I get to see what the competition is doing right around me. one such magazine is design new england .

this renovated rundown vermont cottage struck a cord with me in the september/october issue. it's no secret i have a soft spot for cottages/farmhouses in vermont. this one happened to be done by the owner who also happens to be a lighting designer. we all know how important good lighting is, but it always seems to be the first thing cut from a budget or the last thing even thought about, unfortunately. but not this space...
