With the success of our first
Home Tour: The CC Show House blog - we're continuing the series with Volume 2 (Volume 3 coming soon!). We moved into our home 10 months ago and have made a lot of progress finishing up the designs for each space. Our home was a new construction and part of the design process has been to give each space character and make it feel less "new build spec house" and more classic home and custom to us.
Volume 2 of the home tour features bedrooms and bathrooms: including my daughters' rooms, a guest room off of our basement, and our primary bedroom and bath. If you're looking for more bedroom inspiration, you can preview two other guest rooms in
volume 1 of the series!
With that, let's step inside!

THE LITTLE GIRLS' BEDROOM SUITES
We partnered with Connecticut-based designer,
Lynn Morgan, who helped make these rooms (among the other spaces in our home) come to life with fun custom window treatments, window seat cushions and helping us to select the perfect paint colors.
Both of our girls love pink, but we wanted to incorporate other colors as well. For my eldest daughter, we opted to make her room blue and pink. The room looks quite sophisticated and doesn't scream a kids' room - which she loves, because she's at the age of wanting to be a "big girl."

The built-in window seat was a design detail we added during the construction of the home. I have always loved window seats and this darling one is the perfect perch for my little one to sit and read or just look out the window and daydream.

There is a bathroom attached to her room and we had a lot of fun
with the tile in this space, selecting a pink mermaid tile for the shower/tub. We kept the rest of the space more subdued with shiplapped walls, a soft pink vanity & coordinating custom mirror.

My 4-year-old daughter's room is directly across the hall. Equally as sweet, but completely different. For this room, we paired pink with purple (her two favorite colors) to create a whimsical and sweet space. We added coastal touches through rattan and beaded lighting and decorative accents like shells and
whale bookends.
The tremendous response we received to the reveal of these little girls' rooms on Instagram inspired us to launch a kids collection, called
Tiny Tides. We realized there was an opportunity to offer our coastal chic kid's curation to our customers so you can achieve similar looks in your own home!
THE FLORIDA ROOM

One of the things I miss most about living in Southern California is the palm trees. Growing up in the suburbs of NYC, I've always equated palm trees with vacation and even after a decade living among them in California, they never lost their appeal. When we moved to Connecticut last year, I braced myself for our first winter back. I wanted to create a space in our home that would instantly transport me to warm, sunny days - and the Florida Room does just that!

I wanted to find a home for our exclusive
Victoria Larson for Cailíní Coastal Banana Palms Green Wallpaper and use it as the foundation for our Florida Room. This wallpaper is so fun and evokes tropical vacation vibes. We have two primary guest rooms on our second floor and this 3rd guest room is located off of our basement and used less frequently, so I wanted to have a bit more fun in this space.

THE PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE

Our bedroom was the last bedroom of the house we worked on. It is a large space and we just didn't quite know what to do with all of it.
Between the bed and the fireplace there was a lot of dead space. We knew we needed to fill it but were not sure with what. In November, I visited the beloved New England hotel, the
Mayflower Inn. Their renowned spa had these incredible white chaise lounges with a super soft chenille fabric. I absolutely loved these chaises and wanted to recreate them for our home. We worked once again with the amazing team at Lynn Morgan Design team to bring my dream to life by creating custom chaises for us for that in-between space. We use these chaises constantly to work, read, and watch movies in front of the fire.

We wanted to make our primary bathroom feel bright, clean and serene - creating an at-home spa vibe. We opted for cool paint colors for the walls and vanity and kept it simple and classic with polished nickel finishes and whie marble tile. The rain shower is one of our favorite features of the bathroom, creating a true spa-like oasis.

The original plans for the primary suite featured two massive closets (a his and hers), that offered much more storage space than would ever fill. We decided to share the one that actually looked like a closet and turn the other, which had gorgeous big windows and resembled an actual room, into my home office. It's tucked off of the primary bedroom with a hidden pocket door and it's a jewel of a space, so reflective of my personal style - classic and coastal! The Coquillage shell-draped chandelier is the centerpiece of the space. I chose a soothing paint color, a clean white wool rug, rattan furniture and shelves filled with my favorite treasures from the sea. This is the first home office I have had and I love having a quiet space of my own to work from.
