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.

Inspiring Surfaces

All of my auties have beautiful homes and great taste - so when I was in Memphis a few weeks ago I shot tons of inspirations pics. These are shots of some amazing venetian plaster walls that one of them has in her guest house. I don't know if it shows up in the photos that well but its got a silvery sheen to it and its made with some weird recipe of plaster and vegetable dyes that I doubt I'll be able to replicate. But its very bordello in non velvet and gilt way. I love it.







Anybody have any gorgeous plaster pictures? send em.
