Romantic Homes Review May 2013 Issue

Can you believe that the
May Romantic Homes issue
is here already?
Ready to see some special people?
Here's my friend, Kim,
She got a full page nod this month.
Now, let me warn you.
When you get to Kim's blog...
well....this room might look completely
different...cuz she is a 
mover and shaker painter.
You just NEVER know what she is
going to do next.  
That's why I love visiting her.

I love the name of this next blog.
I found her through the magazine
and she has a wonderful blog.
 I love Kelly over at
She has a great sense of style.
And I have followed Sandy's blog,
Paint Me White for a long time.
Her style is impeccable-
Even her header is swoon worthy.
w
There is also a feature on
Christine Derderian's home.
The home is full of wonderful artwork..
and sweet colors.
Well, there are a few teasers
but there's a lot more in
the magazine itself.
So...I am willing to share my magazine
with you if you 
want to join me here for a 
cup of coffee or tea!
How about it?
I promise you'll leave smiling!

    Oh my goodness! I didn't know that all of these wonderful bloggers (including my sister) would be featured in this magazine all at the same time. How awesome! I haven't seen this issue yet. I'll be sure to look at it next time I'm out shopping. Should've looked for it yesterday while I was at Walmart!

    Lovely blogs, thanks for sharing! I love looking at every style of decorating! Can always change out color, fabric etc but the ideas are free flowing in larger crowds. Thanks for the blog hops. Enjoyed them. Hugs. Tammy

    Good Afternoon Diana, I would love to join you for a cup of coffee as this wonderful magazine is not available in England. I have seen it mentioned a lot on blogs and always wondered about it. So thank you for sharing some of the photographs....and of course I will be nipping over to visit the blogs you mentioned.
    Best Wishes

    Hi Diana, I love the May issue of RH and the features are all awesome. Some great and creative bloggers. I love it when some make lots of changes too. That is so me! LOL My hubs never knows what he will come home to find. LOL

    You are the best to always share and feature the wonderful ladies in this issue.

    Hi Diana, I am being very lazy today and sitting here on the sofa and just gazing at the new spring green leaves and dogwood flowers and ornamental magnolias that all seem to have popped in the last four days. Amazing! Playing on my little notebook computer catching up on blog comments. My new Romantic Homes magazine is resting right next to me...Pretty in Pink, which I am going to read as soon as I finish this. Have a super sweet weekend. xoxo P.S. You are so kind to mention the RH blogs. :) I keep waiting for them to email me. ;)

    No. I can't believe May is right around the corner. Ooooh, I love the pics and the white couch with the pink painting. I wish magazines did a better job of telling us where we could find the stuff that is in the pics. Thanks for sharing. Hugs...

    I'd love to come for tea and look through the lovely magazine. It's funny but I just picked this one up today at Walmart and then put it back down telling myself that I didn't need Another Magazine! :) It looks like a keeper, so I'll get it next time.

    Thank you so much for being my newest follower! I definitely will follow back and look forward to getting to know you better.

    Hi Diana... I actually got my RH over a week ago, I could not believe it was the May issue already... love love love all the pink and color coming back!... to be honest, the all white homes look rather sterile and uninviting to me with no color at all in them... I have kept all of my pink, lavender, aquas, etc and always will... I am betting alot of ladies wish they had kept their pink treasures they gave away or sold!... I don't ever follow fads or trends, I am just me... hope you are enjoying a nice Spring day... xoxo Julie Marie

    Oh I don't get this magazine...but I recognize some of the bloggers mentioned.
    I'm going to have to go and check out the ones I don't recognize.

    I sometimes miss 'magazining'...just you know, perusing the pages of a magazine. But...I have the internet now.
    lots of good stuff... I don't think I'll EVER finish reading it all! :)
