Welcome back, luv! Jerry and I are really busy this weekend and so we thought we’d bring you along for the fun. We visited Monger’s Market in Bridgeport, Connecticut, AND made a Facebook marketplace purchase (hello kitchen dresser 😉).
I’m excited to share with you all the new purchases we made and some of our vintage finds. OH! And I managed to coax Jerry into being in the video. He is VERY shy in front of the camera :D
I am STILL trying to sort out the coffee table center piece-I have been waiting for the right pieces to come along (at the right price) but still searching. Yes I could just go out and buy something online (I just might have to) but for now I’m having fun searching for the perfect piece. That way when I finally do, it will be so much sweeter!
I hope you get loads on interior design inspiration from our weekend together and also I hope this video reminds you that you are creating memories along the way-sooo have fun with it!

New Drawer Pulls from Amazon (in Antique Brass). This is the third time I’ve purchased these and they're very good quality.

REMEMBER, don’t wait until the time is right to make your house a home. Live as fully and as beautifully right where you are. My mother, La Donna, is always reminding me to “Bloom where you are planted.” Thank you mom!!
I hope you get loads of inspiration from this video. Sending you so much love from New York.

ABOUT ME:
Hey I'm Christina DiStefano! I am sort of a jack-of-all-trades: artist, sales director for a top NYC real estate development company, certified life coach, yoga instructor, Reiki practitioner, artist (I'm a painter), businesswoman--and now I'm taking on Interior Design via a certification (I'm starting an Interior Design firm in 2024 lovingly called Casa Serenità Interiors). Oh and did I mention I'm leading the renovation of our country home (inside and out)?!
I believe that home is a sacred place that we nurture, and in return, it nurtures us. That being said, my design process is focused on creating a sanctuary, a place of serenity that truly feels like home.

00:48: One day, I walked into Bed, Bath and Beyond and found a bathroom organizer. The over the toilet standing type. I quickly measured the unit and determined it would fit into my sedan. Of course, I was wrong. I loved the piece so much, I drove home (35 minutes), with the driver's seat completely reclined, so the unit would fit. I told myself this is where my Pilates training came in handy, and kept my back straight as possible, radio blasting, singing all the way home😂

I knew I was in trouble when you were driving through Pound Ridge.🤔 When you reached Mongers, my sensibilities really began to waver - always worth the trip, but it's late on Sunday and they'll close soon.😮 Reason finally kicked in and I just vicariously enjoyed your outing and you didn't have to set a third place for dinner. Thanks, Christina 🤗

Sweet video...Always looking for a bit of velvet and vintage. My cats do not like anything faux so that could work on my couch. Love PB for their linen drapes and everything for the bed...good quality and reasonably priced. Prefer the coffee table w/o the tray. Chicken looked delicious!
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio 5 месяцев назад
Hi Celine! Yes PB does have lovely linens and they also have gorgeous drapes. I think "Velvet & Vintage" sounds like a lovely shop--you could be on to something... I think eventually the coffee table is going to just be a table with a big beautiful candle in the middle. It's like a gorgeous dress that needs no accessories--except a classic pair of earrings.

my advice is, get the lions. They are timeless classics. In case you needed my advice 😂😂😂Love the kitchen dresser, I have a big teak one from India. So darned useful, and so aesthetically pleasing! And definitely the Wyatt print. It definitely deserved a beautiful matte as well as a lovely antique gold frame! Looks like you had fun, the chicken looked delish, and Jerry seems nice! When are you getting a nice Labrador or Golden Retriever dog to complete your home? 😁

Y’all made me smile at the end! I love New England so much. There really isn’t any other place that has the same feeling! My sister went to Yale, and I took a temporary RN job at Yale New Haven Hospital just for something to do while I was unmarried and in my 20s. My husband and I discussed retiring in NH or ME, but we instead went to AZ. Sometimes I’m very sorry, but not when you’re waist-deep in snow! lol
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio 8 дней назад
Oh yeah the snow up here! NYC seems to be sheltered from it most of the the time but we get a lot out in the country. I love it though but I don't have to shovel it lol! My brother moved to AZ a couple years ago with his family and loves it. Funny we talked about AZ too but then found this little house!

Hi Nachi! It's my pleasure and so happy you enjoyed the video. Honestly I had no idea this place existed until four months ago and then we had so set aside time to really go through it all. I found it on google maps and perhaps there is one somewhere near you. It was a great place but I like the hunt and I love to find a treasure (AKA a good deal).

You got it!!! Also some butter-he loves butter this guy! Why is it that everyone in the restaurant industry loves butter so much? Oh and olive oil! The pleasures of being married to a restauranteur. Before him I didn’t each a variety of food really. A huge pot of lentils with Moroccan spices was enough to suit me everyday for the week. Now I eat so many different things. I’m also inspired by him and started baking again. I’ll have to share with you-also when I venture into making my own pasta!

That place looks cool to look, but so many places like that are just tooooo expensive for regular folk! Round Top TX is like that now., mostly ridiculous prices and no bargains anymore … not what it used to be and who can afford that stuff? Loved your sign off, y’all are so cute!
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio
@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio 4 дня назад
Awww thanks Susan 🤗 I’m with you on that! Monger’s Market is a very cool experience and good if you want something right now. You are paying for the convenience, but I love the hunt and the satisfaction of a good deal! I think purchasing second hand has become more popular and so people selling these pieces can really capitalize on it. I’ve also noticed furniture manufactures adding in vintage findings to appeal to this market. It’s also regional. Like for example Round Up-I haven’t been but I can tell that something like that is going to be popular, and so people would likely have higher prices this way. Same goes for Monger’s Market. There are also a lot of decorators up here with clients that like unique pieces-and so again, bigger buyer base, more competition/demand to buy-therefore higher prices. Now I have found that if you know what you’re looking for (i.e. use those places to educate yourself) then you can find people on eBay/Etsy that actually want to sell their stuff now versus sit on it for a higher price. I want cool, unique and quality-at a good price 😂 Who doesn’t??? Hahaha
