Southern Living Idea House in Louisiana


I just got my Sunset, Country Living, and Southern Living all in the mail on the same day.  Don't you live that?  There are so many images I need to share!

For any of you who don't live in the south...I thought I need to share SL's beautiful Louisiana Idea House for 2010.  Enjoy...

(don't you love that lighting in this spa bath?)



I am obsessed with "tile" entry rugs!  Is this not fabulous?  Don't you think that always choices that are the riskiest usually are the most spectacular?  I want a client to let me do this one day.


what a perfect exterior



peg board entry!  Complete with Hunter boots.

pause:  I told you I got some, didn't I?  Chris asked if they are decor or clothing...





SL is getting funky...I like!!



gorgeous galley kitchen with banquette



Do you love this mirror?!!!  A decorative artist did the wall...not wallpaper!



dreamy outdoor area with Ballard seating



this chandelier in the master bedroom is a mixture of sea urchins & ctystals!



OK...this is the GARAGE apartment!



the bedroom in this apartment


What a great house, no?

One more thing....look what arrived Saturday!  Can you have real love for an unreal object?  I think so.

  5. Julie, Thanks for the preview. I usually get my SL from my mother in law and she hasn't passed this issue along yet! Love that kitchen. I really dig banquettes! Of course I'm not picky, I'd take that garage apt. if someone was handing them out too. Congrats on the fab new chair! I have a chair "problem" and have a self imposed blockade on buying anything new for awhile. I even have a few farmed out to friends and family!

  11. Great Blog! No one can resist getting a little funky with abstract painter, Amanda Talley! She is so much fun and her painting work well in any space.
