	Shangri-la Some of the best-kept secrets are hidden down long, dirt driveways, so unremarkable that neighbors have been known to pass them for decades without wondering where they might lead. By Jennifer Moore Stahlkrantz	March/April 2012
	Spacious Skies This Congress Street house—8,000 square feet on 18 flat, sprawling acres—was once the home of lawyer Henry B. Stoddard. In the early 1900s, Stoddard purchased 14 acres of land and a barn (for the now enviable price of $5,500) known as Sea View Farm, and commissioned famous tri-state-area architect Cameron Clark to build the home.

	Simply Modern How does a couple who looked at countless center-hall colonials and then decided to build a shingle-style arts & crafts home end up buying a pyramid-shaped glass-sheathed house with a 12-foot-deep swimming pool in the living room? By Carolyn Rundle Field	March/April 2012
	The Art of It Claire Melbourne has always been creative. She studied art in college and designed outerwear for 14 years, before leaving her job to care for her three boys. But it wasn’t until she met interior designers Susan Buzaid and Robin Curnan, owners of Ridgefield’s Olley Court, that she began to think of herself as an artist. “I went into Olley Court to buy pillows, and that is how the whole thing started,” says Melbourne with a laugh. “Now, I feel like I am working again.” By Alison Pratt	March/April 2012
	For Miles The pale sunlight illuminates a stand of winter birches. Above, a cool blue sky stretches like a canopy. Indeed it’s easy to imagine one has entered an Impressionist painting while standing on the back porch of “Deer Run,” a country estate that occupies more than 300 privately owned acres in Redding.

	Full Plate IT’S Saturday afternoon at Danny and Audrey Meyer’s weekend home in Litchfield County, and the place is a flurry of activity. Twelve-year-old Peyton swings open the front door and out bound the two family dogs—Louie, an oversized, cream-colored Labradoodle mix, and Wally, a smaller, brown, curly-haired Lagotto Romagnolo, an Italian truffle-hunting dog.

	The Maximalist For Rachel Volpone decorating her house for the holidays is an extension of her approach to life. “I’m a maximalist,” declares Volpone. “More is more. That’s why I love working with interior designer Molly Hirsch. She understands scale, texture, and makes sense of the craziness and traditional that I like to think I embody.” By Alison Pratt	Holiday 2011
