One year ago I found myself swooning like crazy over blogging friend Cindy's post simply titled WHITE, in which she shared image after image of her dreamy home. It's fun to see the comment I left then that says:
Well, guess what? Cindy took my advice and by August, Fabulous Fifi was blogging about her July shoot schedule in California which included Cindy's home! Thrilled about this connection, I asked to be considered to write the article. Just before Christmas, I received the assignment!
Fifi's go-to photographer Mark Lohman took the prettiest images. The article titled warmed with white is part of the Romantic section of the magazine and is filled with Cindy's French/Nordic decor and tips. If you like chipped finishes, ruffles of linen and muslin, and touches of pink you will LOVE this feature. Working on the article even prompted me to buy another reclaimed window ($5!) to hang indoors.
I'm so honored to have contributed to this beautiful publication. It was two years ago that an issue of Cottage Style inspired me to re-do my bedroom. With so many places to find images and inspiration, to me still nothing compares to savoring a printed magazine!
On newsstands March 6th!

Congratulations, Elyse! I'll definitely be looking for this issue. It's amazing what can happen when we just take a chance ~ something I need to remember more often!
ReplyDeleteLove your post, Elyse! Thanks SO MUCH for prompting me to call Fifi. Without your confidence in my decor and your words of advice, I never would have made the leap of faith that our home could someday be featured in a magazine! I can't wait to get my issue and post on my blog!
ReplyDeleteP.S. What would we do without Power Rangers? And Legos?
xoxo Cindy

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, pictures & beautiful editorial!Cindy's home is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI just found my way to your wonderful blog after viewing the "White" post on Cindy's blog. I own a tiny 8'x 24' house and I decorate it mostly in white with splashes of pink. I have a new color scheme of Robins egg blue mixed in with a beach theme décor for the future. Just being on your blog for 5 minutes has inspired me to create some cute things for my tiny home. Thanks for inspiring me. Your blog is wonderful.
