It's time for Autumn Bounty at Terrain in Wesport, Connecticut. Terrain is a place I go for inspiration a few times a week.

A Modern Country Estate + Connecticut
A home tour of a modern country estate in Connecticut. Â I met Sarina while working at Serena & Lily, but we sort of "knew" each other through social media before meeting in real life.
