I love it all from the paisley to the skin on the sofa to the cows. I long for this look to be front and center again, for the days when I bought EVERY magazine on the rack because they all were FABULOUS. Now, I subscribe to "The English Home." I will never get tired of seeing the English look. It resonates with me because it is so warm and layered. I like Chinoserie, too, but so do the English! <br /><br />You did a super job with this room, and I love the picture of you. You are NOT overweight. You are beautiful and hip. Would that we could all have such great hair, too. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-50567880452637653022012-06-16T13:35:40.506-04:002012-06-16T13:35:40.506-04:00Beautiful room...I have many cow paintings...colle...Beautiful room...I have many cow paintings...collected them when no one else wanted them...LOL and for 1912 babe....uuuuu luuuuk mavelous!...LOL Love the post...your house is fabulous!Jannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987426986739934729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-33682592410404489922012-06-09T11:54:06.193-04:002012-06-09T11:54:06.193-04:00I can't stop laughing at all your post.

I'm definitely going to "stay tuned" to find out how you "moved on" from that look.<br /> Right now I'm curled up in that chair with the paisley shawl, and checking out your cow paintings and dog collection. Ummm..is the kettle on? <br />BabsBabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819457826608198258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-78493164847704764732012-01-09T21:59:42.472-05:002012-01-09T21:59:42.472-05:00Hi Betsy!

Today I showed a client a magazine tear sheet (that I have saved for years) from House Beautiful(I think, or Home and Garden, etc.)that shows your former front porch with its trellis portico. I was hoping your blog would have a better picture of it. We have been working on an idea for their Cape Cod design house and your portico was one of the best designs I've seen so far.<br />Anyway... do you have more photos of the portico that you could share with us? Thank you for all your inspiration through the years!<br />Love your blog and your spirit too.<br />Best,<br />Mary Alice SmithHouseZenGarden Bloghttp://thebestdesigncoach.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-55290441770617376912012-01-09T08:31:39.747-05:002012-01-09T08:31:39.747-05:00In the past, I just loved reading the many magazin...In the past, I just loved reading the many magazines and books that featured you.
