Hello everyone, long time, right?! Country Living was here and gone in 4 days and what a 4 days it was. The above photo is just about half the props that were brought in to shoot the house. Can you believe that?! While I'm not allowed to show any interior shots of the house that I took, I can show you this photo of just some of the things that were brought in. It's apparent they thought my house needed more stuff. :)
I'm not going to lie, when I saw all this I had a slight panic attack. But no worries, it all worked out. In the end, only a couple of lamps, pillows and other small accessories were used. Under the guidance of stylist Janna Lufkin, her beautiful assistant Carolyn and the talented and charming photographer Roger Davies, the house looked incredible. Janna has a sharp eye for style which you can see
here on her Pinterest page.
Roger Davies has photographed some of the most beautiful homes in the world. I am so pleased and humbled that he shot my house. He is a fellow small home owner and prefers living in a cozy little home too. Like I said, most of what they brought were pillows, towels and small accessories. They over-buy to be sure they have enough and also so they can play with different ideas. They used all my stuff in ways I never thought to display it which was so interesting and cool to watch. They were both great at styling, which by the way has nothing to do with the way you actually live in a house. It's a very slow process of setting up each shot, getting it just right and then sending it to the editors at CL and getting their approval before moving on to the next shot. They really have so much patience.
I think you are going to love the way it all comes out but we have to wait all the way til next Spring or Summer before it will be published!
