"Fashion is not only in the way we dress, but the way we live. The home should have a timeless elegance, with an edge, a certain flair that resembles each person who lives within it. A balance of neutrals and interesting textures, with pops of bold color is the perfect fashion statement."

—Stacy Andell, Luxe Living Interiors

"Since I was a young girl, I have always wanted to make my surroundings beautiful. I find beautifully designed spaces comforting, and this has inspired me to show people how to enjoy their homes. Traveling is one of many sources of my inspiration, and has shaped the timeless look of my interiors."

I feel so fortunate to have this forum where I get to meet such lovely and talented people! My congratulations again, Stacy...much continued success to you and Jill.

P.S. As you may know if you've been following along with us, the first name we drew for this giveaway never responded and so after several weeks and many emails sent to her, we were forced to draw again. We're thrilled for Stacy of course, but feel bad we were not able to make contact with the person whose name we pulled first.

So, just a reminder to all our email subscribers: Please make sure we have your correct/current email address and to ensure our messages make it to your inbox, please add our address to your contact list. (hover over my signature above)

Hello, Sunshine!

Do you have to leave so soon?

What do you think about drapery at a door like this? I for one love the casual European flair it lends as well as the functional aspect. Did you notice the "M" monogram? Maybe a former bed linen? I have be known to use a linen sheet now and again as a window treatment, but hadn't thought of incorporating a monogram.

I'm in the market for new window treatments for our living room and dining room. I gave ours away when the renovation started. A friend admired them and I was happy to send them on to a loving home. Since then–all summer–we have been tacking up canvas cloths at night for privacy and taking them down each morning to let the sunlight in.

I had been fine with this routine all this time, but then suddenly it just hit me and I can't stand it any longer! And it's not just the windows that are demanding my attention. This morning we awoke to a downpour that has gone on all day with the wind getting in on the act this evening. We had just relaxed into some unusually warm and sunny days for October, but apparently that was just a tease. Old Mr. Sunshine has officially left us to visit elsewhere. . .time to bring out the extra blankets and throws, the warmer duvets and the cozier area rugs.

I'm about to make a dash from my studio to the house.

Be well!

Linen, naturally.

Love the simple, casual design of this ottoman cover. Natural linen is a favorite of mine (surprise, surprise) and if there is a white slipcover somewhere in the mix, all the better. I never, ever tire of the combination. It is always fresh and appealing to me. (Of course, gorgeous floor-to-ceiling stone as a backdrop doesn't hurt either!)
