Blog Love

So via pinterest I stumbled upon a new blog Stone Gable...this lady's potting bench bar puts mine to shame! I might need to get lost a blog black hole and check out all her posts and pictures!

Here is another image from her blog...so lovely!  It is nice to see others who value table settings, matching dishes and the desire to fill ones home with flowers!

Speaking of new blogs, I added a few news ones to my side bar that I want to start checking out.  TBD if I decided to really follow them, but I need to check them out for a while to know and I most often go to the my side bar to view other blogs. 

SO it made sense to put them there while checking them out. : )  All found via pinterest of course!

This new blog called Inspired by Charm I want to check out is by a man! I guess I can't call it a 'blog lady' blog.  I eyed up this recipe that I think we might need to try...it looks yummy! 

 I love fall flavors!

I often stumble upon the blog Eclectically Vintage, enough times, that I decided I should start reading it.  So far, I have been a fan.  If you are bored check out her House Tours, there is oodles of décor goodness there! And check this garden craft out! GARDEN CRAFT! are there 2 better words to smoosh together???? (spelling of smoosh?)  This will be on my list for next year for sure.

Another Blog I want to start peaking at is Life Made Lovely. I have a link on the side bar, but it links to her main page, and you need to select blog on the top to get to the blog, not sure why.... BUT she also has a House Tour Page with house eye candy to get lost in when you have time to get lost on the internet.

 

There are a  few other blogs I have on the ipad that I sometime check out, so once I have time to review them more, I might add them up on the side bar too.  Just in case you love blogs as much as I do!

Pretty House

Hey, I haven't have time from real posts, but I have been looking around on the internet and saw this adorable house.  This might be one of the most loveliest homes I have even seen.  Check it out, soak it up, swoon over the white washed brick...

And while we are on the topic of drooling over lovely internet images, check this one out...I LOVE this photo. I often show it to clients as an example photos, and I never tire of it. Normally I am drawn to more formal space and more formal patios, but that irregular stone that just fades away into the lawn... Love it!

Sarah's House

SO right now I am obsessed with this show on hgtv called Sarah's House. It follows Sarah Richardson who is a Canadian Designer as she renovates and re-decorates. I HEART THIS SHOW! And you all need to start watching it ASAP! Each season she picks a house and re-does the entire thing, each room redesign being an episode. Season 3 is on right now which is this great old Victorian farmhouse she gut down to a brick shell.




I love her designs and I love how she finds these AMAZING fabrics and bases the whole design off them. I also like how it is high-end custom interior design but she mixes in all these great antique pieces she finds at flea markets, estate sales, antique stores and architectural salvage stores.

Here is her website. Check out the portfolio! Dreamy!

Here is the link to her show on the USA hgtv site which isn't too user friendly but you can watch last season's episodes online.

And here is the link to her show on the Canadian hgtv site which has pictures of this season's farm house, and it looks like you can watch this season's episodes which is great since I missed some.

Here are just a few pictures but they don't do the show justice.

This picture above seems like a simple bathroom, but she bought the base of the vanity from a flea market and it was an old work bench/cabinet, then she added the marble top added a sink! love it!
