My Friend Dawn's Hudson House Is Available For Rent!!!

Dawn and her husband are both amazing artists and her gorgeous house upstate has an almost indescribably dreamy vibe. They recently bought another house and are putting this one up for rent. Let me tell you, you could definitely write a novel in this place. It's really magical. Forgive the vignette type photos. I didn't have a realtor hat on when I was taking these. I had my "how can I create these same amazing surfaces in my own house" hat on. Her husband is a decorative painter and obviously knows his way around venetian plaster (not to mention that insane fresco in the bedroom). Anyway, I think its a three bedroom (could be more but I saw three) and I don't know how may baths (Dawn please leave a comment to straighten out my wishy washy facts). UPDATE: CLICK HERE to visit Dawn's houseblog with all the nitty gritty. Or just read her comment.


ps: that's one of Dawn's brilliant paintings above...

Yeah - that's the dining room ceiling and walls... I know!

Kitchen ceiling and partial cabinetry... I know!

Floor detail

Aforementioned Fresco.
This one is wallpaper with plaster around the edges... I can barely take it.

Mary's Got A Gun

Another perk of staying at Mary's pad in Hudson is the ability to take self portraits of oneself posing with her BB gun. Mary has a series of amazing pictures of herself with it so I felt inspired to emulate. Feel free to enlarge the glamour.

Mary's Pretty House

Here's my plug for my friend Mary's gorgeous victorian row house in Hudson that she's begun renting out on occasion for vacationers. I stayed there last weekend (my house is still too scary to sleep in alone) and I can tell you that it's beyond dreamy. I highly recommend it for a writing retreat or just a decompression weekend away from the city. You can learn more about it by clicking on her house-link on my homepage (the Hudson Honeybee). Thanks Mary! You have awesome taste honey!

looking down her staircase...


Her bath...

The room I stayed in...


Ok this photo serves two purposes - it shows the cool room and also makes me look way way skinnier than I really am. So that doesn't suck.


Her fireplace (similar design to mine) but don't you love the mirror?
