It's May and that can only mean one thing: The Kentucky Derby! I'd love to have a derby party like the one featured in the the May/June '08 Southern Accents.
Cottage Living is one of my favorite magazines, so I was excited to see they started three new blogs: Dear Cottage Living, Front Burner and The Petal Pusher. Check them out if you haven't already! (Image from Cottage Living, June 2007.)
I love John Derian (who doesn't!) and I haven't been able to get his studio out of my head since Domino published shots of it back in August '07 (above-top). Imagine my delight when I saw pictures (above-bottom) of his Provincetown, Massachusetts home in the Spring/Summer issue of Vogue Living! The place has a great patina.
I'm completely in love with the April 2008 House Beautiful Kitchen of the Month. It looks like a fabulous movie set.
I never get tired of a good gallery wall. Living etc. March, 2008.
It was nearly 60 degrees today in Chicago. The weather was so spring-like and perfect, it was making me wish I had patio doors like this on my bedroom! Cottage Living, March '08.
I'm a crazy fan of woodblock prints - so I nearly died when I saw this two-dimensional steer sculpture! The Spring '08 issue of O at Home features the country retreat of Bil Ehrlich, a New York real estate developer, and his family. Ehrlich created the sculpture himself by magnifying an 18th century woodblock print and then transferring that cute cow onto outdoor-sign plastic. Perfect!
