I am really enjoying this
Winter 2014 magazine.
Under the heading of
Cottage Comfort is an article
Cottage Comfort is an article
An Eye For Fabulous.
It is INDEED fabulous as is Michelle @
Are these the cutest things you've seen today?
And wouldn't you love to sit here?
Or linger over coffee here?
Michelle- I am available for coffee any day between
8:30am and noon....just sayin'.....
While I am awaiting that invitation I will
take you to see a condo in an article called
The Art of French Style.
YES! A CONDO
owned by Will & Cathy Kimmel.
She co-owns The French Flat
Now THIS is a condo!
Isn't this lovely?
I know that doesn't leave you feeling blue
BUT
How about some
OLD WORLD WARMTH?
This is a bit of the kitchen in the home of
Gail Smith - of the Agoura Antiques Market-
Her whole home is warm and welcoming
and there are several pages devoted to it.
and there are several pages devoted to it.
And-this doesn't strike you as a typical
Florida home,does it?
Look what Robin Smith did here!
I couldn't find a site for her but she mentions
The Vintage Soul as inspiring her.
This is just one room of her sweet home.
And, last but not least.
Rhapsody In Blue is brought to us by
Sandra Linderman.
The only link I could find for her is here.
How fresh is this?
She has a very minimalistic approach to decorating
and it showcases her pieces beautifully.
There are MANY more pages devoted to her home.

Thanks for the preview! That's a magazine I am not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteThe home decor is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful issue. Thank you for sharing all those gorgeous pictures. I'm completely smitten with those paper trees! What a fun project!
ReplyDeleteDiana, Such beautiful things. I love the three wreaths at the window. All the green things in the kitchen , so nice. I do like all the neutral colors , with the bits of pastels. Hope you are doing much better. Missed you, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us the magazine Diana. I do hope that you are feeling better and had a nice Thanksgiving. Take care.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Oh I love it all!!! I love the cover. I would love to be sitting in one of the lovely rooms.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Those dining areas and kitchens are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning my friend. This is a great magazine with lots of great inspiration. I got the pleasure of meeting Michelle in person last Spring when I was out in Boston. She is so sweet and so creative. Love all the variety in this magazine for inspiration. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteKris
Good Morning, Got a cup of hot cinnamon tea ready to visit some of you. Had my wake up call. My daughter calls as she is driving to work. I loved the pictures you shared. I don't buy magazines unless it has something that I really want. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. I loved Bright Eyes Picture. They just grow to fast. Have a wonderful day and stay warm. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley.
ReplyDeleteRomantic Country is my favorite magazine....thanks for giving us a preview of this months issue! hugs.....
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying this magazine, also. Lots of eye candy! Hope you are feeling better. Sally
ReplyDeleteI need to get a copy of this magazine immediately!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm, guess what? I think I am getting over-dosed on white, white, white.
ReplyDeleteI don't live with it, of course. but have had "longings for it." Hell.... Tell it like it is! Have "lusted over it"!!! ,-)
But now, I think it is running a bit cold, to me. I no longer sigh, when seeing such interiors. I no longer long for them. Maybe I am finally immune??????
And hey, that's good! I'd never be able to convince my (very accomodating husband) to live in alllllllllllll shades of white. -gigggles-
Oh how romantic! There are so many pretty ideas :) Hugs to you, Diana!
ReplyDeleteJust charming! Love the homey feel of all the furnishings.
ReplyDeleteLove it all, and especially those kitchens!!! Thanks for sharing the pics!
ReplyDeleteThese are all very beautiful, the fifth photo down is my favorite. I used to love the all white look, but the older I get, the more warmth I seem to need. I love the wreaths on the windows and the shutters on either side.
ReplyDeleteDiana you are a romantic at heart. All beautiful rooms.
ReplyDeletexo Danielle
Oh - oh -oh! I am in love with these beautiful rooms! I need to find this magazine - thank you for sharing, Diana. Now I need to buy a lottery ticket first. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteI really have to pick up a copy! In my next life, I swear I'm living in Petite Michelle Louise's house. =) C'mon over when you have a sec, I'm having a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteJeanine
Now you've done it! I want to start crafting and I really don't have time right now! Thank you so much. ;)
ReplyDeleteI always love this magazine, and this particular issue is especially good. Love that paper tree...May be getting my craft on and trying it out. Thanks for the fun share! Jane
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty Christmas inspiration! I might even cook more if I had one of those kitchens.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I have to dig through my magazines, I think I have this one, if not I will get it as soon as I go to the store.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling? Have my tree up and almost completely decorated, but it looks like the house was stirred by a spoon. LOL
Hope all is well with you. I am really sick of going to the Dr and Lab every day.
Hugs
Mary
I like all the ideas...the pink kitchen really appeals to me

ReplyDeleteLove this post Diana, I have not received my issue but I hope it is here soon. Love those doorknob note holders. I have made many of those and they always sell great. So many wonderful decorating ideas in these pages in this issue and I can't wait to read it. Thanks for sharing and for the links too. So great to see you. I was wondering since I have not seen you in forever, but I finally got your post just now in my inbox and was so glad!! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Happy December.

What a beautiful issue! I will have to make a trip to the market and pick up a copy!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana,
ReplyDeleteWow, love what you shared from the magazine and now I am heading out to pick up the issue for myself. Wonder how the people of Walmart deck their homes?!?! Sending kisses.

I know - I just know that's what you're working on - you told me not to try and guess - but I'm going all rebel on you and doing it anyway LMHO

Everything looks so pretty. And I love those paper trees. I have no clue where I would put them, though.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love all the rooms... and wow! did you see that huge ball of yarn in the last room photo? All inspiring!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your *favs* from this great magazine! Hope you are feeling better! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love the old world kitchen. There's something about a big kitchen that does it for me. That's the first thing I noticed with our new home. I really like the cabinets and the countertops in this old world kitchen, and that faucet is so unique. So many great ideas.
ReplyDeletelove,
~Sheri
