Hello, my friends! This is the kind of post I’d recommend you to bookmark it for future reference, since there’s so much inspiration and it probably can’t be seen in only one day. This has to be my longest post so far. I know I could have divided this into many different posts, but I wanted to leave it all in one single page, so it’s easier for you to find and bookmark.
When you work in this area, you’re always looking for inspiration, for homes and interiors you haven’t seen yet and you feel really happy when you find a professional that not only has a beautiful work to share, but also high quality photos, so you can make a great post. When I saw the work of Crisp Architects I simply spent an entire day just “studying” their incredible work and I couldn’t stop adding pictures for this post, I wanted to share it all with you.
Crisp Architects was established in 1985 and has created or renovated homes throughout Dutchess, Columbia and Westchester Counties in New York, Litchfield and Fairfield Counties in Connecticut and Berkshire County in Massachusetts.
I really recommend you to take a look at their beautiful work at Crisp Architects. All the gorgeous pictures were taken by the very talented photographer Rob Karosis.

I know I’m saving many of these pictures on my “inspiration file” and just in case you wondering how long it took me to prepare this post, I’ll tell you… It took a couple of days, but what really matters is if you guys really enjoy and feel inspired by it.
What really attracts me to their homes is that every single one of them feels just like a real home, full of warmth and uniqueness. And I’m sure that’s what we search for when it comes to our own homes, all we want is a place where it feels beautiful and welcoming, but most of all, real.
Please, don’t forget to check Crisp Architects’ website!

***********
Oh, I know! This is a very long post, right? But I hope you could actually take this time spent here to dream with me. I simply had to show you Crisp Architects’ beautiful work and I hope you had fun.
Talking about fun, my kids are on their “march break” and we’re trying to spend some quality time together. I really love having them all day with me. I’m not going to lie and say they’re always so quiet and perfect, but I actually prefer this way. Like my grandmother always says, “If your child is too quiet, go there and take a look, because something wrong probably is going on”. 🙂 Hearing them playing, laughing and having fun is something we should appreciate and even be grateful for.
Last night I thought about something I didn’t before. I was looking at Matthew (my baby) and he looked at me and smiled. His smile was so pure and his eyes was just so wide. I could feel so loved by this little baby and that’s when I felt in my heart that I must never let this “pureness” disappear. We, parents, should always keep the love our kids have for us as pure as it can be. We should always do everything in our power to never hurt this love or hurt their trust. We always should be the ones they can always, always have by their side, the ones they can count on.
I once heard someone saying that our relationships are like bridges that have to be built every single day and we do that by adding little pieces at time. We should go to bed feeling that we have done all we could to add the necessary pieces for that day. And we should ask ourselves if we could across the bridge to be and feel closer to the other person.
We build the bridge by listening, by saying “no” when we have to say “no”, by giving real attention and by showing they’re loved.
No matter how old our kids are, they will always need to feel loved by us and our job is to keep building this bridge, day by day and never let it go.

Luciane – You were right! This post is amazing and that first picture is to die for. These houses are exactly my style and I am definitely bookmarking this post and pinning away. Thanks for the inspiration! So fun!
Okay, I have to stop! I’ve already pinned about 5, and could keep pinning forever! There are so many amazing architectural options,it’s like a smorgasbord! Well… maybe I’ll add just a few more 😉
Happy Wednesday my friend!

Oh, wow, what beautiful houses! So much eye candy in one post. I not only love the sunroom at the end but all of the porches. Thanks for the inspiration, Luciane! 🙂

Enjoy your precious time, loved what you said about the kids and pure love……it doesnt get better than that!
You weren’t kidding that this was going to be a long post but so worth it. So many stunning images and really very New England at its very best. I had never heard of these architects so thank you for introdcing them to us.

Can you just transfer all of these images to my Pinterest account?! Really stunning homes. xo
Thank you for posting some wonderful colorful rooms here today! You know how much I love color. And as for all of the rooms here, the covered porches and sunroom are, I must admit, my favorites. My next house will have a covered porch…….and as for the beauty inside these homes, nothing matches your inner beauty. You are blessed to have your children, but do you recognize how blessed they are to have you? xoxo

Luciane,
You are so right! I’ve saved this post for future inspiration…including your sweet comments at the end about spending quality time with your little ones. We all need to remember to layer on the love with those that matter most.
Karen
Gorgeous homes. Every one of them! Not one out of focus. I love that about your posts. And I love that you are always inspiring and uplifting in your post comments.
Absolutely stunning from the first picture to the last. I was only going to repin one, but how can I choose? This post was indeed inspiring.
The green walls really stood out from all those photos! Very attractive homes! And thank you for the sweet reminder about our “babies” 🙂
My heart just melted reading your beautiful thoughts about your baby. That bonding time between a baby and Mother is like no other experience. Its wonderful!
I am from Long Island and all those shots reminded me of our old lazy summer days. I miss summer, but got a glimpse of it in Ca. Come by and see Hutton Wilkinson’s new house in 90210–I love it.
Best,
Liz
