I recieved my new Country Sampler Saturday and my favorite home of all time was published, now I get to see this home all the time because I haunted Lynda's Primitive Home Tours for so long to just sit and look at this home's pictures. I just love the blues and I can just imagine walking into this home...I bet in person this home takes your breath away:)
I was also happy to see that my question that I posted about in my last post was answered...if you look, her livingroom and keeping room's trim is painted blue but her kitchen and eating area trim is a barn red! So I think I'm going to do it ladies:) I may even do my mantel!!!
This is the eating area and as you can see the trim is barn red!
I know my home will never be as great as this lady's but I'm trying:) Has there been anymore work done since last Wednesday? NOoooooooooooooo, but I'm biting my lips so there is no augurments and I guess after all it is a holiday weekend but I so want this all done!Here's hoping you are all enjoying this weekend and let us not forget all the men and women who gave up so much so that we could all be FREE.

Isn't it fun when you see something that just speaks to you! That is what happened to me when I saw Charm on the Farm in the Jan 06issue and even more so with A Colonial Homecoming in the March 08issue. My home will never be filled with those antiques, but we can dream right?
ReplyDeleteOh we are waiting for this to come out! My mother's friend Pam has her house in there too. This is one of our favorite mags!
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day!
Hugs,Lisa
I agree with you. That house is beautiful!!!Love it. Keep hanging in there with the remodel---it will SO be worth it in the end!!! Have a great Memorial Day.

I loved her home, too!!!! I don't think Americana ever gets old! I am hoping to do my front porch all in Americana. Good luck with the remodel!
ReplyDeleteHer home was one of my favorites as well, Rondell! The reds, the blues, and the kitchen ideas on a budget. That's my kind of decorating!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how your color choices turn out. I just know they'll be lovely. And, boy, can I relate about wanting to get things done...
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my friend!
Oh Rondell, I think we are all moved by other homes and wish....I love that magazine...it is very stimulating to look at! hahaha, it makes you wish and it makes you go home and move everything around! Or at least I do that! Have a great Memorial!

I wanted to get to the post office on Saturday to get my issue of CS and didn't make it. :( I was hoping to enjoy it during some down time this weekend. Oh well, it will be there for me to enjoy this week.
ReplyDeleteThat home looks absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see it.
Hugs & blessings to you~ Birgit
The blues are my all time favorite but I think I'm just tired of blue but I do love the look from the pages your posted, red does go with anything! Can't wait to see your home!
ReplyDeleteI agree...I'm always seeing homes and want to start changing mine...I use to decorate with alot of patriotic stuff..Not so much now...But her house makes me want to start decorating with it again..I especially love her blues!!...hugs,Jen
ReplyDeleteI love her house too!I'm not a blue girl, but that house is beautiful!I love that red trim:-) Hope you've had a nice weekend Rondell!

I just love that house, too. I showed it to Dear Hubby that night the magazine came in the mail. Even he thought it was fantastic. We can keep hoping (and working) that our house looks like that someday!
ReplyDeleteRondell,
ReplyDeleteYes I love her home too! It's one of my all time favorites as well....because I love her Americana and the colors! That really fits me too....red and blues are my favorite! I've looked at those pages so many times since my issue arrived!
I hope your floors are done soon...I know how it is living with that mess...it can sure make you irritable!
I hope you're having a great Memorial Day!
Tammy
Waiting for my copy but I think the blue and red is wonderful too. I look forward to seeing your decorating updates. Love your floor too!!
ReplyDeleteRondell, I got my CS the other day and took a quick peak. Now I will have to go back a drool again at this same home. Gives me something to do this evening. Thanks Sherie
ReplyDeleteI saw the house too. It was by far my favorite one in the magazine. I got kinda tired of the blues in my house but I really like the contrast in her house.
ReplyDeleteCarey
I love the different trim colors. Isn't that house great in CS? You can see more pictures on Linda's web shots from Primp Your Pad. Can't wait to see what all you do! Dawn
ReplyDeleteI got my CS, but haven't had the time to look through it that much...now I'm going to make the time to look.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you, I LOVE the blues and have been stuck on this home since I received my magazine more than a week ago. Can't get enough. Love It! Jayne
ReplyDeleteI received my book a few days ago and love it...Her home is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Sorry I haven't been on here lately, but there were several blogs that I couldn't visit for about 3-4 days due to computer issues. It would say that my request was being aborted due to some techinical issues. Anyway, I am now able to take a look at your blog and have missed my visits. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteGotta love taking time to look at a Country Sampler and get more ideas... ya know!?!
Hugs,
Lisa
Oh, Rondell I think your decorating is just wonderful - don't sell yourself short!
ReplyDeleteMandy
