Between the Holidays and a slew of bad weather, I finally located the magazine at WalMart, and wow, what an amazing honor and surprise!! Dedicated to Farmhouse Style, I wasn't sure how my "80's" sunporch would fit in, but their magazine is all about the style, and how to adapt it to wherever you might live. Tips and ideas I shared go for a new house or an authentic antique farmhouse; wherever you call home.
This magazine is full of wonderful features and beautiful photos from a wide variety of personal homes and spaces. American Farmhouse Style shows that there are many interpretations of "Farmhouse Style"; from rustic to industrial, cottage to romantic, there's something for everyone to enjoy and identify with.
My little ol' sunporch feels pretty darn special!
I have to admit,
it's a little bittersweet seeing that special place in the pages of a magazine,
but I plan on taking a little "farmhouse" with me wherever I go.
Thank you so much, Malena, for including me in your premier issue!

ReplyDeleteYour sunporch has set the bar for all the issues to come for this new magazine. I love your sunporch and this particular arrangement is my favorite. I love that stack of red & white transfer ware sitting atop that little blue lunchbox/toolbox. Such a fresh expression of red, white, & blue!
Congratulations to one stylish farmhouse girl...

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Debra! What an honor to be featured. I was standing at the magazine rack at JoAnn Fabrics one day browsing through their magazines and I saw that you were featured, but I think it was a different magazine than this one. I can't remember now what magazine it was, but I thought to myself, "I know this lovely lady." No one deserves it more.
ReplyDeleteCindy
