Beautiful HB

Receiving my digital copy of the December issue of House Beautiful this morning was like a breath of fresh air.  I loved this house above in particular.  Absolutely beautiful...

Thank you Canadian House & Home

I was so thrilled to be included in the just-released May issue of Canadian House & Home magazine and so taken back by the size of the article. Thank you House & Home for the lovely story. You captured my aesthetic perfectly.

PS. No doubt you would all be completely over seeing images of my home here on ABT {huge apologies!!} however, I just wanted to share my excitement about the article and, in particular, I really wanted to thank House & Home for the lovely story and their interest in my work.

Looking Forward To This...

Michelle Adams is at it again with her business partner, photographer Patrick Cline. Here's what they are about to launch into;

In a time when shelter publications are turning their last pages...

OUR MISSION is to reopen the doors of accessible design. By embracing an online platform we provide inspiration at the click of a finger, directly connecting our readers to their favorite products and resources. Our freedom from page limits means that we can share more content in each issue, delivering an intimate look into the way people really live. At Lonny, we value independent thinking and believe not in following trends but rather in making choices that lead to happiness. We believe that good design and affordable design can coexist and that true inspiration can be found in the teeniest of homes or in the grandest of spaces.

Coming Fall 2009 ;)

I will definitely be checking back for updates on their new venture!

A Beautiful Cottage

A couple of other bloggers have posted about Haskell Harris before however, I really do love her aesthetic and after looking over the pictures of her pretty cottage I have saved in my picture file I thought I could squeeze in a little post too.

Haskell is the Associate Editor of Garden & Gun and previously, she was Special Projects Editor and Assistant Homes Editor at Cottage Living magazine.

Southern Living magazine recently ran an article on Haskell's beautiful 1796 cottage located in Charleston, South Carolina. I very much adore her bedroom which is painted soft pink with white trim and grounded by beautiful Antique pieces and wood weave blinds. I covet her Hawaiian style black and white quilt and the mirror cluster wall above her dressing table is very beautiful.

Blue, White & Vintage!!

I absolutely adore this Domino feature - full to the brim with a few of my favourite things - blue, white and lots of vintage!! I seem to be in a blue mood this week but then again I think I'm always in a blue mood and a pink mood and a white mood etc. etc.!!

I am a Domino Addict...

Today my Domino arrived. I know, I know I'm so behind the eight ball compared to all my U.S. friends but I just had to say how much I absolutely LOVED this month's issue! It's gorgeous! I'm just about to head off to my bed, snuggle into my warm blankets (it's Autumn here) and read it from cover to cover as the quick flip through in the office today just wasn't enough to satisfy my Domino addiction!! Night, night!!

There Are No Rules...

I know Drew Barrymore's Flower Films 'un-offices' (decorated by Ruthie Sommers) have been featured by lots of other bloggers over the last couple of weeks but I just had to post this little snippet of the article which I loved...

When asked about her favorite piece in the office, Barrymore says, "I believe you can combine anything. I feel there are no rules."

Definitely a woman after my own heart!!
