Fantasy Decorating with Aspen Snowmass Dream Home!

Sometimes the best surprises are in our own backyard!  Terry Rogers is a Real Estate Agent here in Aspen, CO.  Terry has a unique philanthropy program with her buyers.  When a home is sold, she donates 5% of the sale to any charity of the buyer's choice.  A long list of all the charities Terry and her clients have contributed to as well as a more full description of the program can be seen here.  I thought it would be fun to do a Fantasy Decorating post with one of the houses Terry currently has listed.  Details and additional photos can be seen here. Good luck Terry, I would love to hear where the charity $$ for this house ends up.

Fantasy Decorating with Tracery Interiors and House Beautiful Magazine

This is definitely a 'House Beautiful', I just want to move in! What a wonderful job the design team at
Tracery Interiors did with this home in Alabama.  The photography of these spaces is superb and really captures the intimacy of this home.  My sculptures would fit right in- don't you agree!

Wouldn't it be fun to see 'Miss Heather Gray' right on the corner of this over-sized island

Veranda Magazine Inspiration- Take Two!

I return to one of my favorite decorators, John Saladino, featured here in Veranda Magazine.  John has a way with making any room look fresh and yet 'lived in'.  I never feel as though his designs are stuffy and I always feel like I could walk right in and sit down.  He has a painterly way with decorating and the lighting is  dramatic, as if in a film.  Veranda Magazine often features John Saladino designs and I truly treasure each issue.  Here are three room designs paired with my sculptures.  Scrumptious!

As I continue with my Fantasy Decorating Series, I look to Country Living Magazine.  I am in love with Modern Country.  I sometimes pretend when I am sleuthing at a flea market that the person next to me is a secret editor from Country Living!  I wish I had more rooms to decorate in my own home with all the finds and inspiration from this magazine.  Check out which sculptures I would place in each of these rooms....
