IN THE MAILBOX: Country Home {the final issue} * Country Living * Architectural Digest * KC Spaces
With so many magazines closing it makes each home decorating issue I receive a true treasure… you have to wonder if you’ll ever again open your mailbox to see a pretty room staring back up at you. At the rate we are going print magazines are going to become as antiquated as 8-tracks. That said, this week I have received four of my faves
IN THE MAILBOX and I had to share them!!
{Country Home, April 2009 ~ THE FINAL ISSUE}
First lets pay homage to the Final Issue of Country Home magazine. Sigh. What can I say?? Country Home has been a source of hip, country style and sweet ideas for years…
You will be sorely missed CH!!
In this issue I fell particularly hard for this Vacation Home in Santa Fe. The clean, slip covered sofas, muted colors and simple table are a look with eternal class. BTW, this home is owned by Renea Abbott, owner of Shabby Slips in Houston. And the FABULOUS painting of a cowgirl on the wall is from Austin artist Bob Wade.
Next up is a gal we know and love ~ 1/3 of the Junk Gypsy crew ~ Ms. Amie Sikes. She is looking as gorgeous as always in Country Living’s Guide to achieving Cowgirl Flair.
Tips from Amie include:
-
Lone Star Music, particularly Miranda Lambert.
** And may I add that a Junk Gypsy tee is also a MUST!! Congrats, Amie ~ great list!!
{Architectural Digest, April 2009}
I just love it when Architectural Digest throws a Rustic Home into their collection… they are always fantasy abodes that I may never own, but I adore the inspiration!! This issue’s story about a 10,000 sq ft home in Ontario is titled “Rustic Redefined”. Soaring ceilings and picture~perfect views make it an absolute dream home!! You can see a slide show of the entire home right HERE. What is your favorite feature in this home?? I adore the windows and, of course, the use of reclaimed barn wood.
{Kansas City SPACES, March 2009}
This one is from Kansas City’s premier Interiors magazine, SPACES. The featured home is that of the devine Debbie Dusenberry of Curious Sofa here in KC. Debbie’s store is one of my favorites to slip into for inspirational ideas when I’m looking for clean interiors, neutral palettes and rustic re-purposing. Debbie is one of the most talented merchants I’ve known ~ check her out HERE,
and her popular blog right HERE.
BTW ~ This is NOT the first time Debbie’s home and store have been published ~ she is a rising star in interiors and, in my opinion, will undoubtedly be a household name someday!! Don’t miss this chance to get to know her now.
STAY INSPIRED ~
