Wonder if it's a classic and they still make it. Those wonderful old fabrics never go out of style in my opinion. It reminds me a lot of the fabric on chairs in the sitting room of General Kemper and Leila Williams beautiful home in the French Quarter.

I love how you have little surprises like that in your designs. <br /><br />The painting over the mantle does look like your dog. What a wonderful find. I love dog pantings, too, and have a mix of new/old. I wish they were all old, but some of the new ones I really like.

I first saw these pictures when I 'borrowed' the magazine out of my doctor's waiting room . . .but I don't recall the summer look - wish I could sew, I'd have slipcovers as well. And your little dog - how HAPPY does that pooch look?? Never easy to say goodbye to these wonderful little souls - I even lost two dogs in one week . . . . .I just thank the stars that I had them in my life at ALL! And go on to give others a wonderful life at our home:) All of our dogs have been rescued - and all get along!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594722639047596792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-84617791058396081952011-12-27T13:03:13.158-05:002011-12-27T13:03:13.158-05:00Always fun to see "back then" photos.
