With excellent weather (despite the reports!) the Designer Barn Sale Tom Luciano and I held at my sorta-new pretty-old house in Roxbury, Ct last weekend was a rousing success.
.
More than 250 people showed up to pursue the wide variety of furnishings we had artfully arranged (if I do say so myself!) in what is the largest barn on my property.
.
A steady stream of sophisticated shoppers were on hand – some who had received the email announcing the sale, and others who saw the designer signs announcing the Designer Barn Sale placed at a number of key locations in Roxbury.
.
Among the many locals who showed up were dozens of people who mentioned that they had been at the House Sale that happened just before I took possession of the house, and were kvelliing over the dramatic transformation of the property and the barn; they all loved the openness of the landscape and the extended view over the Roxbury Land Trust – Lilly Preserve – behind my property.
.
Some of the design notables in attendance were the artist Steven Miller, antiques aficionado Craig Van Den Bruelle, Dale Cohen, PR Maven Wendy Silverstein, dealers Richard Lambertson & Suzanne Cassano, Rhonda Eleish, ASPIRE magazine’s Amy Sneider, Alexandra Carlin from the Hearst Corporation, and my clients Mariella and Brian Winthrop.
.
Here are a few shots of the offerings from early Saturday morning just as folks began arriving.

On behalf of Tom and myself I’d like to say a special word of thanks to everyone — old friends, and some new ones — who came by the sale. And whatever your plans are for these last 2 weekends of the summer season, enjoy yourselves!
