It’s getting me excited for our ski trip to Aspen this year.  </span></p> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">As you know Dave and I are always scanning the real estate listings and we happened upon this gorgeous property for sale in Aspen.  Of course at $39 Million USD, we couldn’t even get in the door, but its fun to dream.  I thought you would enjoy a cyber tour of a home which caters to the rich and famous. So lets pretend it actually is my house and I am taking you on a personal tour.  I would first bring you to our stone wine cellar to have a yummy glass of wine, before we started our imaginary home tour!</span></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0YCG_n56o_k/T1Ol6Oky_DI/AAAAAAAAHjA/j4DpT2JRVV8/s1600-h/Aspen%252520Great%252520Room%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="Aspen Great Room" border="0" height="454" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-o2evT5buVr4/T1Ol7SY77SI/AAAAAAAAHjI/KpZ96A1HowQ/Aspen%252520Great%252520Room_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Aspen Great Room" width="604" /></span></a></p> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">We would then make our way to the extraordinary great room. I would point out the antique hand hewn beams and we would admire the craftsmanship of the stone work.  Notice the arch in the fireplace and the how it mimics the entry arch to the left.  We would also take in the spectacular view of the slopes.  </span></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-x7IFJqNPtpQ/T1Ol73QbNJI/AAAAAAAAHjQ/DsFScqRyMIQ/s1600-h/Aspen%252520kitchen%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="Aspen kitchen" border="0" height="454" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0g1G1v6vl5w/T1Ol8Q2hcKI/AAAAAAAAHjY/ooKUYSj8-e8/Aspen%252520kitchen_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Aspen kitchen" width="604" /></span></a></p> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Next we would make our way into the kitchen,  I would point out the floor and how we used limestone and antique wood for a wonderful effect.

We would talk about the gorgeous faux paint techniques and we would compliment the artist on his excellent fresco work. I would point out how the faux painting really enhances the arch in the dining room, making that architectural feature even more impressive.  You will say how you love how it mimics the arches in the great room and I will be so impressed that you noticed.  </span></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1zp5Ix9lO3Y/T1Ol9ivUuFI/AAAAAAAAHjw/K89VfiSBBBA/s1600-h/Aspen%252520Pantry%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="Aspen Pantry" border="0" height="454" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-T0qn3AB2Mno/T1Ol-NDTx2I/AAAAAAAAHj4/4zwzFmwmCto/Aspen%252520Pantry_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Aspen Pantry" width="604" /></span></a></p> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Then we would pop into the pantry – You know I love pantries and this one is spectacular.

She just sent on to me one of her recently completed projects to share with you. Once again Linda has created a wonderful ocean oasis for her clients in Maine. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512446885442353522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9HTlqpHgz_MJIPa1f2TEzCVrzkFwPdAFn1-FJcYVpZGpBo4eytBngwmc3TYLtr2uDXtWniGsUNEEKmxD-0RbtiRlp-OC9ltb-5MTzE6a4OHSEMAcrYaDT824mJSZ_zZKW19PunV_52jb9/s400/_F106835-3.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 221px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 360px; CURSOR: pointer" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">On a spectacular property on the coast of Maine, Linda worked with her clients to create a shingled styled home from a new construction design. The goal was to create a casual feeling in a formal plan, but still retain the warmth and history of historic home. As such the home is filled with Linda's distinct attention to detail, including the client's antiques and collections, as well as nautical references of boats, fish and seashells, indigenous to the Maine coast. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512446905586421778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANL1CXlM7AUu5J72teq9fpEunBsrLeGCF3RS80-tH8Uj1IuDoD87famWFOJ-b3PDUjAV-MyTByeXm_ISiP32_GTDbN5YLYcFMjT7eF5f4v9z0Gk9fRJ14Eb55-E_Gqfuo7CTnsFVFk48B/s400/_F106762.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 360px; CURSOR: pointer" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">The entryway above is a wonderful example of how Linda created the sense of history and age. The 24 foot hand hooked rug was custom designed with ships, lighthouses and other local references of Maine, sure to become a family heirloom. The bamboo bench is a beautiful reproduction and looks gorgeous with the framed hand tinted vintage map of the area.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512446876485400242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2q7h2pzX3yfZlEwN6FHacIkdUuvJzAiKNxZmopNkf16BFr2kybdl_MGXm5TKXeQGbZEs9J_nElBe85ujFiUSmTLxh_JN6JLOopizx6QaWqj-CR8G-vUUrer-xHxx_h1uR5bOptus2Hhk/s400/_F106864-2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 360px; CURSOR: pointer" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">The mudroom above provides a thoughtful location to keep everything in its place.
