Wedding - Corbin Gurkin

Corbin Gurkin

I realize I regularly gush about @jerseyicecreamco - Tara & Percy, the design duo who I fully admit “saved our home”. I probably made it known to many of you that the process of looking for a house felt beyond miserable. Thatcher interviewed for a job in New Jersey five days after Emerson was born and six months later we moved up to Princeton. It was a dream job and incredible opportunity for our family. Something I count my blessings for every day. But we looked at sooooooo many houses… It literally became a full-time job. I seemed to be looking for some sort of Irish stone farmhouse perfection that did not exist or something we loved was out of our price range, or we got into heartbreaking bidding wars ultimately to find that unexpectedly having to buy a house when we already owned another one down South was just more than our little nest egg was built for. When we lost out on our ultimate dream house on my birthday, I somewhat threw up my hands and we went back to a house I had seen on my own and written off a couple months prior. Thatcher saw things in it I hadn’t and thought we should go for it. I had a one year old and just needed to land somewhere. So to make a long story short, I asked my friend @nicamille who she knew who did great plaster work because I wanted to update the 1980s addition in the back of our 1700s farmhouse and bring the whole vibe together. What started out as just updating walls turned into a love affair with Tara and Percy’s work and I finally feel that this is the house we were meant to be in. They “fixed” so many of the things that irked me. The last time they came to the house, I asked them to just deal with the bedroom and make it look pretty - do their thing using some of what we had and some replacements … And now it’s a place that I can just sit and have my morning coffee and feel truly at home. So for that, I am beyond grateful. And all this to say that these guys are now offering virtual design consultations and plaster and all the things and you should head to their feed to check out this morning’s announcement. #jerseyicecreamco #thisoldhouse #stonefarmhouse #plaster #design
