After designing The Lounge, Powder Room and Hallway for the Holiday Show House in December, it was a special treat to be able to return to re-style the rooms for spring. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This time around I brought select pieces from the Bassett Furniture Design Studio to infuse my traditional spaces with a modern freshness.</span></div><div class="p1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="p1"><span style="font-size: large;">Below are links to the art, custom upholstery, pillows, and accent pieces that I had on display along with the other elements from the holiday show that are now a permanent part of each room. If you would like to see any of these spring accessories in person, stop by the <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/tools/designer-listing.asp?st=2038">Burlington Bassett</a> location on Middlesex Turnpike. Let me know if you are planning a visit and I will set aside time to give you a studio tour. And if you are looking for a pretty spot to host your next event, contact Heather King at <a href="http://www.glenmagnafarms.org/index.html">Glen Magna Farms</a> to see the lovely rooms of this historical mansion in person. The gardens are beautiful in the spring!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
