Hi Everyone.
I have something fun to share with all of you today.
I got a call from Country Sampler Magazine about a month or so ago and they told me they wanted to run a home tour feature on my decor from the past. Of course I said yes, It is always a honor. So I agreed to an interview and them using the pictures that were taken about 4 years ago when we lived in the Lake Zurich home.
|
My home is one of the 5 home tours in the May addition of Country Sampler Magazine.
|
|
I am honored to be feature even though that decor style was from a while back. It still was showing my style decor from that time period so I was proud and honored.
Actually it was fun to see the decor pictures from a long time ago and remember how fun that decor was in my home.
Glad Country Sampler feels that my style from 4 years ago is timeless and deserved to be featured in their magazine. |
|
They quoted me saying how I love to repurpose old things with history into new things in my decor. No matter how much my style has changed over the years I stay true to this saying.
|
|
They gave my home quite the home tour spread. Lisa Sloan interviewed me and wrote a lovely article that captured my style and love for re purposing things into my decor. The photo's were taken by Gridley and Graves. |
|
When we bought this Lake Zurich ranch style home it was in a lake town in Northeast Illinois. I remember I wanted to feature one of my guest rooms to reflect that we in fact lived in a cute Lake Town. Look at the color in my past decor. Who says girls that love neutrals and whites cannot have a little color too! |
|
They captured my farmhouse style that was prevalent in my kitchen and other parts of this sweet home. |
|
They also caught my love of summer flowers and repurposing old vintage pieces into my garden decor.
Seeing these pictures makes me wish for an early spring and quick summer to arrive
I have an extra copy of this great magazine with lots of farmhouse and country style decor featured. So if you would like to have a chance at winning one of these magazines please just leave me a comment.
Please this is only open to all of you in the United States. Postage is way too much to send magazines out of the US.

My angel Grace is holding onto the copy for the lucky winner.
Good Luck I will draw the winning name out on St. Patty's Day. Seems like a lucky day to choose a lucky winner.
Have a great day and wonderful weekend. Kris |

ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't see my comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to say is
CONGRATS!!! Having been published in such a popular magazine - sharing your creative and lovely home, how exciting for you.
I enjoy each of your posts and admired both your and Hubby's creative, imaginative and welcoming homes.
Thanks for bringing joy to my heart.
And, Grace, just know you are holding that mag just for me !!
Hugs,
Gerry
This is one magazine I not a current subscriber to. I often wonder why as I am inclined to pick it up at the news stand vs just subscribing. I will need to look for it, as I wouldn't want to miss your feature. The glimpse at your past garden, makes me anxious to see what you will be doing with your new property. Hurry spring and summer! Happy for you and your new feature.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Love your sense of style and would love to win the magazine :)
ReplyDeleteLove your style! I would love to win the magazine!
ReplyDeleteI"m probably too late to win anything, but wanted to comment anyway! Congrats on the magazine spead! and oh boy what a spread! I'm going to buy that magazine and show it off! I wasn't following you 4 years ago, so this is a new Kris! Love the pops of color I saw as I glanced at the pages! (especially those red checked curtains). I think every one of your posts should be in their own magazine of the same name as your blog. Happy St. Patty's Day too! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kris! Every home you live in you and your sweetheart give it timeless style. I remember this house very well. Of course I loved the color you gave in the room reflecting your lake side town.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Congratulations Kris on quite the home tour spread! I'm going to pick up a copy here in Canada. Well deserved. Here's to more magazine spreads for Cottage III!
