| Another shot of Tulip & Ruby's room. Their room seems completely old school-East coast-I'm-going-to-private-school . But I love the ribbon installation. |

| The dining table is pretty generic (though I'm a fan of the round shape.) Also, it's a nice, chic surprise to have a simple white couch in the dining room. V cool. I'm also admiring of Mrs. Ford's sweater wrap because I just think it's so darn practical & body conscious when you're being photographed for a national magazine. Let the children wear the flair (like the dreamy & darling light purple head piece pictured above on little one's head... |

| Great living room. Not my colors, but it's being itself and I'm a total fan. Makes me thirsty for a cold, minty drink. |
This spread of pics is from
Southern Living magazine and was photographed by William Waldron. The homeowners' aesthetic reminded me of two very different aesthetics: buttoned up Park Ave meets San Diego goof ball divorcee. I really credit this home for doing something that is totally their own. There is personality galore, with random animals & the placement of little chairs and bold pops of color, but there is also something neat and tucked in about it. I thought of my sister and her beachy thrifted finds (as well as a peculiar compulsion to display animal ware...) but the house also reminded me of certain babysitting jobs on the Upper East Side -- homes that were filled with impersonal glass tables and powder blue curtains and tightly made beds. The children's names are Henry, Ruby and Tulip.
