Connecticut’s Antiques Trail

October 3, 2012 by Susan Bednar Long Leave a Comment

Connoisseurs of design and foliage, your moment has arrived.  The 26th Annual Washington, Connecticut Antiques Show takes place this weekend (October 5-7) in a spacious new venue at the Washington Primary School.  As this year’s Event Chair, the Show has been a labor of love, and a rare chance to curate a roster of the region’s most exciting artists and dealers.

For New York collectors, the Antiques Show offers a perfect excuse to drive the Connecticut backcountry roads a their Fall peak.  While en route, I recommend stopping at some of these Litchfield County favorites:

1.  Drive through Cornwall Bridge, CT for that heart-stopping Autumn-in-New England photo op.  Michael Trapp‘s equally dramatic and chic emporium is a must.

2. Warm up your collector muscles in Woodbury, CT.  Remember to pace yourself!

3. Get inspired at  Argazzi Art in Lakeville, CT.  Owner Judith Singelis is a brilliant curator and consummate hostess.

4. Peruse rare Chinese decorative pieces at Passports in Salisbury.

5. Refuel!  In the spirit of local fare, make a reservation at Community Table in Washington.  The food is seasonally sourced from Connecticut farms and the space is cool, modern and unpretentious.

6. Make a worthy detour to Great Barrington, MA.  The town is a home decor mecca, but my favorite is the beautifully edited Berkshire Home & Antiques:

I hope you’ll share your own Litchfield highlights in the comments, or even better, at the Antiques Show!  I will be there throughout the weekend and look forward to seeing friends old and new (and to making a few acquisitions of my own).  You can find details on the Exhibitors in this post for New England Home Magazine‘s blog.

Cheers,

Welcome!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by design and the subtle impact of our surroundings. Some of my earliest influences still resonate – I think of the dark woods and textured lodens of my father’s shooting club, the smell of fresh paint on a new canvas, and the bold symmetry of the Philip Johnson Glass house just down the street. For me, it was a natural path to become an Interior Designer. I love what I do. I’ve created this Blog to share my thoughts, finds and design inspirations. I hope you enjoy it!

I was obsessed by the cover art for the MoMA show, I was obsessed by the cover art for the MoMA show, “Color Chart: Reinventing Color 1950-Today” and fused this into the palette for this upstairs hall. Inspiration is everywhere!
