There's been an interruption in my series of summer cottage rooms. During my usual Wednesday night web surfing, I found photos of designer Nancy Fishelson's former Connecticut home, which appears to have recently sold. The cozy but spare interiors of Fishelson's homes have always appealed to me and I thought you might like to see the house as well. Many of these rooms will be familiar to users of Pinterest and avid decor blog readers. All photos are from Sotheby's Realty.
I'm not going to post much commentary. Much better to let the interiors do the talking. I will say that the guest bathroom (see below) is surprisingly one of my favorite rooms.
Enjoy.
Pretty neat guest bathroom, isn't it?
For an even better view of the home, visit Sotheby's here for a panoramic video tour. I promise that it's worth trip.

Beautiful colours, but looks posed. Chairs without tables beside them are useless and never used.
ReplyDeleteI get the impression that Nancy Fishelson has an extensive collection of American antiques and country furniture. It could be that she has so many pieces that she needs to find a spot for them wherever she can. Plus, these are real estate photos, not photos styled for a magazine. All beautiful, nonetheless, in my opinion.
DeleteNancy is one of my favorite designers working today! Probably top 5!!! Her interiors are spare and edited but warm and interesting. I love how she deconstructs folk art and country furniture. Thanks for sharing these photos, Deborah. My first time seeing many of them.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Deborah,
ReplyDeleteLove the wide wood plank floors, the ceiling treatments with the dark beams, the kitchen, the pale / neutral tones on the furniture fabrics, and the pretty windows.
That high bed makes me want to crawl into it immediately. I'd like to take a shower in that guest bath too!
Bet the new owners will love it there. I wonder what they will do to the decor. Wouldn't it be fun to see a 'before' and 'after'?
This was great, Deborah. I've always admired Fishelson and have collected many images of her work, but have never seen these.
ReplyDeleteShe inspires me to be simpler and sparer as you often do, but I'm failing miserably. Thank you so much for further inspiration. It really was a super tour.

I could so move in and so wish I could :)
ReplyDeleteLove its beauty in all its simple-ness, its greys and natural growth of its gardens.
thank you for this inspiring post.
Dore
such a beautiful place I, too have long been a fan of Nancy's work.
ReplyDeletegreat post.
Would it really be possible to live in a house like that? Where would you put your 'stuff'? She must have a room we don't see filled with all the things she removed from the "picture" rooms. But I freely admit that there is a lot of power in simplicity. Ann
ReplyDeleteThe interior style is perfect for that home! Such a beautiful and refreshing collection of American country and antique furnishings.
ReplyDeleteThe interior is just stunning works of art. I always prefer new home construction..
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous home, just gorgeous and so inviting too!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, Karolyn
Deborah,
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine told me about your blog. I was thrilled to see the photos, as I had not seen
many of these photos. They were done by the realty company. Thank you for your kind and gracious
Comments...and all the others.
By the way, I am a huge fan of Loi's work and his shop, which sadly I have only seen photos of.
As for the chairs without tables....I did sit in them, usually with a good book!
Thank you again and I will follow your blog!
Nancy - What a treat! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. There are many of us that admire your interior designs, as you can see here and on many other blogs. Thank you too for following along.
DeleteI can't believe I just found your blog! It is wonderful! Loved this article on Nancy's beautiful home. I am catching up with past posts as well!!
