so there are three things i wanted to share with you today and all of them are
first and foremost the second issue of Country Home is out! remember i mentioned a month ago they were back. well, the second issue is just as good (if not better ... since it's fall themed) than first.
these are some (and i do mean some as i think i love something about every single image in the magazine) of my favorite images...
so simple, but dynamic! right?
love the things on top of the cabinet. they are vintage train reflectors! so cool!
and yes, i do love the old railroad signs (or whatever you call them). then, in front, is one of those acrylic tables (which i love). this is so me. a mix of old and new. i'm actually considering recreating this in my hall. i have the perfect spot!
anyway, so pick up a copy. it's a bit more expensive then your typical magazine... but totally worth it!
second. do you follow eddie ross? if you don't you should. honestly ... you really should. you won't be disappointed. anyway, i am in love with this table setting he just featured on his blog. i love lime green. then, put it with orange and i have goosebumps. then add in larger than life pink taper candles ... and i think i need a respirator.
stunning. love the runners as placements.
beautiful.
gasp. it's like summer meets fall. falmer.
maybe if i ask really nice i can come to the next dinner. you think? all images can be found via.
and finally i just bought a vintage paint by number image from an etsy seller with the coolest stuff. it was funny. i actually emailed her before i bought the painting. i was on the edge about whether it was creepy or not. she said she loved it, and so did i, so i risked it and bought it.
it arrived today and i have to tell you i just love it. the frame it came with was sorta week and lack luster, so i bought a new one and i think it make a huge difference.
the intent is to hang the picture in my newly painted hall. the colors are perfect! i just need to figure out where. she will be the keeper of my hall forest.
what should i name her?? (yes, i like to name things) the squirrel that eats my birdseed is 'charles'. the planter in my gift shoppe shaped in a woman's bust is 'vivian' ... and the list goes on.

I love Eddie Ross and was drooling over the same table setting. He is as nice as he is creative too. I went on one of his shopping trips to the Big Flea in DC and enjoyed Eddie and Jaithan so much. I think the lady keeper of your hall forest should be named "Genevieve".
Ooops...the name I was thinking of is "Gwenivere".
Eddie Ross is amazing, isn't he?
Love the kitchen in Country Home, too. Gotta pick it up.
Love that sassy lady painting!
"Falmer"-brilliant! ;)
Peace, Angela
Soooo excited about the new country home going to pick up a copy today. Of course I love eddie ross, and that new painting of yours. Did you know I totally name things as well? Yeah like my "alice" chair, my "monica" dresser that I painted, and my "harry" plant here at work. So as you can tell I'm a professional... lol I think you should name her "Vivian" :+) Hugs!
Ummm How did I not catch that your planter is vivian? Weird.
Ok take two: Marla
