Hartshorne Mansion


Tuesday I rented a Suburban packed up the staff and headed to the Jersey Shore! 
We were on the hunt .... armed with our smart phones, note pads and open minds we needed ...

Inspiration
unique ideas 
visions
outside of the box thinking 
and of course 
fun!

I loved seeing this showhouse not only for myself but through the eyes of others... 


Allyson my Studio Manager/Designer fell in love with this amazing playroom 
we found on the third floor. 
How could she not? 
After all she had to be imagining playing for hours in her with her daughter
 tea parties, dress up and so much more!! 
Designed by Gina Cannone from Kidegories 

Ashley, my beautiful daughter found the garden room full of inspiration.  Dressed with an easel in one corner, plant life on every spare space and oddities from all over, she was right at home. 
Designed by Mark Fichandler of Studio Fichandler 

Taylor one of the newest members of the LDD team, found this wild game room.
The Westminster Retreat is dedicated to our canine friends! The workmanship was simply exquisite! The yellow and black plaid pattern on the walls is upholstered fabric!!! 
Her pooch would love to hang out with her in this space!

Michael my Jr. Designer found this amazing bedroom.... Rich Navy paired with this wild Canary Yellow and Hot Fuchsia Pink made an exciting space. 
Honest to Pete his face lit up like a Christmas tree when he walked in!
Designed by Lauren Guarcello of Porter Design Company 

 


Sam my Intern from Amity High along with everyone else found this bedroom heavenly!
Her quick discerning eye caught the detail in this wallpaper... its hand stitched! 

Designed by Kristian Bade of Kristian Bade Studio 



Me? 
My favorite space?  
It was the kitchen, with its modern twist on traditional designs, not one but two islands and the perfect mix of stone, brick, wood and stainless steel!
Unfortunately the space wasn't magnificently photographed like the other spaces, and taking my own photos .... well that would be 'stealing' the designers intellectual property and against the rules... boo!

I'll watch for any photography in the future to share with you soon .... 
Till next week ....
