I think the nesting urges are starting to kick in because I've been cleaning out even the most random corners of the house. Last week I went through my old magazines. I only managed to get rid of four or five and a couple of duplicates, but they are now all organized nicely. In the process, I re-fell in love with a few old favorites, including this Atlanta house published in Cottage Living.
His-and-hers desks in the living room are hidden behind louvered doors on tracks. And I'm kind of obsessed with the buffalo-checked slipcovers on the chairs.

This is why I love blogs! First, I love going through old magazines, it is therapeutic and dangerous at the same time. Then I never actually purge any! That first picture is a long time favorite of mine because i love the offices. I had never noticed the chairs in front, love them!
ReplyDeleteI remember this house! I pulled out a lot of these pages for my files. I think I still have them.

ReplyDeleteYay for nesting! I'm getting the same way, and our house is a disaster because of it - I'm pulling everything out and purging!
ReplyDeleteThe images are beautiful! While we are "satisfied" with our current living situation, I can't wait to get into our settled home - hopefully in the country!
