It's Clara's turn!!

If you have received the May 2010 issue of Romantic Homes, you have probably seen my Sister Extraordinaire's home...

The magazine really did a great job showcasing Clara's love for antique white chippy furniture and accessories...

They also showed her new love: the aqua shade...
Actually, between the photo shooting and the publication, the new shade has claimed a couple more spots throughout the house....I'll make sure to show you pretty soon!

Now, if you didn't get your issue yet, don't miss it...
You'll get to enjoy her baby shoes collection, her white pottery collection, her wonderful linens and you will even get to see Clara and my beautiful niece S.

She offers tips on getting her fab look and even gets me credit for the monogrammed pillowcases on her bed!!

Yeap, Ladies...this is a wonderful issue, get your copy today!

A "Romantic" surprise!

The January issue of Romantic Homes brought us a surprise...

My home was featured!
What it was supposed to be a Sister's article, was divided in 2 different issues so now we'll have 2 special magazines on our coffee table because Clara's home will be featured in a couple of months!!

Jacqueline, the Editor and Mark, the photographer, were just great and made us feel at ease right away...The very casual interview was done by Jickie Torres and I love the way she kept it simple and so unpretentious...

I like the fact that she wrote the truth, (although she was a little skeptical): when my Husband and I first started, we were broke and many things that we still enjoy, came from the curbside....

Sorry for the bad scan quality...those weird stripes on the wall are not really there, the wall is solid sunny yellow...

Weird stripes...again...

We were very fluttered when they decided to feature our home, but the real compliment was when they didn't change or add anything before photographing it!

I must say that of all the pictures they took (more in the magazine) my favorite is this one:

They used it on the first page, the page of "Contents"
My simple rolls of vintage music inside my re purposed tomatoes can...Simplicity at its best!

Now, if you would like to see the real pictures without the crazy stripes, don't forget to get your January Issue!

Thank you Romantic Homes!

Down by the beach...

...nests can be sunny yellow...

or sage green...

...maybe taupe....

...any shade or blue....

...even pink....

...or be totally covered on ivy!

But they all have one thing in common...
charm!

Just wanted to show you a little bit of our beach town today...
The last picture is our friend M's front door.
Her house will be featured in the December issue of Romantic Homes...don't miss it!
She has beautiful Americana and a great eye for display...you'll be inspired!

Knock Knock!...
