<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Just wanted to take a few minutes to give a shout out to the blogs that have featured <a href="http://zhush.com/">zhush.com</a> in the past few months.  These posts always lift me up and re-energize me, no joke.  I encourage you to click the banners and check them out, many of them are relatively new to the blog scene and worth a look and others are long time faves...Thanks so much!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

At some point this fall, we'll head up to Vermont to air out the house and get things ready for the season. I've posted about our condo in Vermont several times, including before and afters and inspiration for the design direction,<a href="http://thezhush.blogspot.com/2010/01/home-again-home-again.html" target="_blank"> here</a> and <a href="http://thezhush.blogspot.com/2011/01/vermont-kitchen-reveal_300.html" target="_blank">here</a>.  However, I've never done one full on house tour. Since I've been getting a few questions about sources, I thought I would include a few of those as well.  Given the distance, I managed to shop and ship about eighty percent of the decor and furnishings for this house online.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
