Southern Living Is #1 Again!

The new magazines are in. Southern Living is smokin' hot!

Two designing sisters from Dallas Kelli Ford and Kirsten Fitzgibbons have a wonderful feature of a traditional home they gave an update to.

What's not to love? It's all great! The black stripe rug, the black chairs, the Louis Phillipe mirror, the brass lamps, the wallpaper - This is a perfect example of an updated traditional room

What a great room - LOVE the mix of pattern but you had me at the leather wrapped coffee table

Those girls know how to style and set a table! Love the orange dishes and that two color monogram is to die for

There are so many great ideas to takeaway. I really love the Phillip Jeffries wallpaper in the dining room. Decorators Best sells to everyone, and you can get Phillip Jeffries there. The only thing is there is an 8 roll minimum that PJ requires, and even with the discounted prices at Decorators Best that comes to a $708. purchase. Maybe a couple of us could split the order to get two accent walls out of the deal.

Philip Jeffries wallpaper has texture that looks like the wall is studde4d with nailheads - FAB!

On the meh list: Elle Decor, Traditional Home (their salute to the British to coincide with the Olympics had such promise), Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful. But please go out and buy them all! Even on the ones on the meh list have something to offer! 

But don't miss this months issue of Southern Living - there are a ton of great articles packed into the always modest looking issue.
