So, thanks to all involved - Rita Larkin, editor-in-chief at WNC Magazine, and Whitney and Dustin Deal. That was great fun! And thanks to my dear friends Tom and Kelly from Oddfellows Antiques for allowing me to raid their store in search of cute props to style the house with - which I had to then promptly purchase because they were oh-so-perfect (nothing like a photo shoot to get you to finish all those unfinished projects around the house!). I should also note that the gorgeous jewelry I'm wearing is by my wonderful friend, crazy-talented Christie of Calaycay Design.
It's always a good day when a post from Maria pops up in my reader. What a treat. And you've certainly been a busy bee! What a beautiful home you've created. Absolutely lovely in every way!

What a lovely home! Great to see a new post from you pop up in my reader.
ReplyDeleteI had to explain why I was oohing and ahhing over here! Loved seeing the photos, it was like dessert. Hope you are enjoying the summer.
ReplyDeleteHa, Cindy, you're hilarious as always. Can't wait to see you when (hopefully) it's not 99+ degrees out!
ReplyDeletemin hus, thanks so much for stopping by..!
Nelya, so good to see you here... Funny, I was just perusing your shop, Minty the other day... I know I don't blog anymore much, but I do visit folks now and then... I just tend to do so quietly. :)

What gorgeous pics of your lovely home...but even sweeter to see YOU in these photos! I have missed you dear Maria! It is so wonderful to see you and your 'boys' so happy :D Much love to you! ~ xx
ReplyDeleteMaria! So great to see you pop on my reader and to get a peek into your new home - it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI too have been "off the grid" because I've been super busy with life. Happy to hear all is well with you!
It looks like you and your family are adjusting to your new environment fabulously. I'm so happy for all of you! And your place looks so beautiful and cozy. No surprise.
ReplyDeleteyayayayaya! What a treat Maria. First to see you blogging and then to see your home! It's totally lovely. I love how you've worked the layout and the off center elements. I know that can be tricky, but under brilliant hands, they all look perfect. Not surprising, but wow! I'll be stopping by with some mint ice tea pronto :)

It's so wonderful to hear from some of my best blogging friends..! Thanks, guys. It really means a lot that you've stopped by when I've been so quiet over here... Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTina, you are the sweetest, and Mary, I've obviously been struggling with whether to blog or not myself - but more on that at some point, I hope. Denise, thank you. Truly. Asheville is a great fit for us, and we're grateful to be here. And Leah, prettyprettyplease come visit! :)

What a beautiful home you have! So welcoming....I love all the little details. If you do not mind me asking where did you get your grey couch and the white dining room chairs?
ReplyDeleteHi, Krystal, thank you.
DeleteThe couch is from Ikea. Ours is the Karlstad loveseat with the added chaise lounge and the Isunda Gray cover:

The chairs are from West Elm:

Maria - your house is beautiful! I sure miss seeing you around in Greenville. I am moving the gallery and will open on Aberdeen Drive on August 1st - hope you can come see me - maybe I will run in to you at Oddfellows soon - what a great place!
ReplyDeleteTeresa Roche
Tarleton, you're a sweetheart. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, it's nice to hear from you! I will definitely try to stop by the gallery at its new location next time I'm in Greenville.

I've been checking your blog (you're in my bookmarks toolbar) almost every day for probably a year now. Imagine my surprise and delight when today I checked in and there was a new post. And an awesome one, no less. I'm excited ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust found you through pinterest. Your house makes my heart flutter! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow!! What beauty! Would you mind sharing the paint color and brand in the first photo?
ReplyDeleteHi Ally, thank you! The color on the walls on that first picture is a custom mix, but it's pretty close to Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I saw your home in the magazine and featured it on my design blog because I loved it so much. You have my dream home! Love your ideas and utilization of space :) Simply perfect. So glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeletexo,
Kristyn
Oh my gosh! I love every detail!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! i haven't visited here in too long and i'm so excited to see this gorgeous spread. i think your house just might be close to my version of perfect. it's delightful! hello to you.
ReplyDeleteCould you share the paint colors in your lovely dining room? The walls, ceiling, and cove, if possible. Thank you for sharing the photos of your new home.
ReplyDeleteKatrina...! So good to read a note from you! Hello back to you, dear one. I will have to stop by your space soon and visit for a bit. I imagine tons and tons of life-changing news. :)
ReplyDeleteAnon, the color on the dining room walls is Wool Skein by Sherwin Williams, the ceiling and cove are Decorator's White by Benjamin Moore... And the trim was already painted that color. I'd try Alabaster by Sherwin Williams for something similar.
What a lovely home!!! Love the cover on Noah's bed. Would you share where you got it? Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Chelle, thanks for the nice words..! The cover on Noah's bed is a vintage kantha quilt. You can get them on ebay or Etsy, and you can also get them at West Elm.
ReplyDeletethanks again,
-maria
Really beautiful. It's well designed and has a great flow to it. I really like the colors, it feels nice and light. Seems like there's a good energy in your home. :)
ReplyDeleteI've got some plantation shutters lately that would work better in your house than my own! >_<
So pretty! Thanks for sharing. I'm curing about the "barn" door. We are wanting to do this. Where did you find the hardware?
ReplyDeleteHi ann in indy, we got the hardware online. There are many options, this being just one of them: http://www.barndoorhardware.com/
ReplyDeletethanks and good luck!
-maria

ReplyDeleteI miss reading your blog and have so enjoyed your sense of design. Do you think you will blog again?
Thanks!
Kathleen
Hi, Kathleen, so kind of you to write a little note..! Thank you. You know, I don't know if I'll blog again or not. My life has been really busy and blogging seems to take up a lot of time... but I haven't made a resolution either way. For now, though, I will continue to use Pinterest as a little way of staying somewhat connected to the internet world. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for writing!
best,
-maria
