Who doesn’t like a nice getaway?!  Thom Filicia created this Connecticut weekend home with pure American style and sophisticated fresh details. The house is serene as its relaxing purpose, but surprises with splashes of bold colors and fresh pattern throughout. It is a thoughtful space, full of important details that take it from predictable to
