Your decorating is timeless and classic. I guess they have to justify the stylist's position and presence.<br />P.S. Someone on their staff has to get a grip on the use of blue (even a pillow on chaise lounge in the garden?), and there was absolutely no need to introduce lime green.<br />P.S. I would have taken the outdoor pictures while overcast-sunshine washes out colors.<br />Love,<br />Your nosy internet neighborGail, northern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606476543639979603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-50826301443582783292016-03-04T15:58:38.976-08:002016-03-04T15:58:38.976-08:00The photos for the magazine look beautiful.

Also I love your portrait and the curved drape of her neckline over the curved apron of French table. It's in the details!

Or will you go back to how you had it all before. This was interesting to see the process because I've never known how it works. When I look through magazines I suppose I thought all of the stuff in homes really belonged to the owner, but boy does a bunch of styling take place! I'm sure it was a fun learning experience for you. I'm so happy for you. Your home deserves to be published!

They just didn't look like your classic style. I also thought the porch looked a little crowded compared to how I remember pictures of it looking. Still charming though. I really loved the picture of your dining room where they were able to capture the whole width in one shot.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058762474046780110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-10143718418839368762016-03-02T18:18:06.620-08:002016-03-02T18:18:06.620-08:00Ooh, I don't think I've seen the laundry a...Ooh, I don't think I've seen the laundry area!<br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058762474046780110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-12567996690468493632016-03-02T15:59:58.987-08:002016-03-02T15:59:58.987-08:00Your house is certainly a favorite and to see it s...Your house is certainly a favorite and to see it styled is fun.
