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;
