I hope everyone reading this somewhere on the East Coast is safe after this weekend's hurricane...and what's a better diversion than a pretty house transformation? I offer up this whole-house renovation, which appears in the latest issue of Country Living.
Lisa Story's Connecticut home received a thorough and serene renovation thanks to her interior designer sister, Sara Story. Each room, which you'll see below, projects a refined casual feel that I'm really responding to...perhaps it's the subtle color choices and interesting fabrics throughout the home:

Everything feels subtle and perfectly considered in this home.
While a whole-house transformation seems costly and unlikely for many of us, there is an attainable aspect of this renovation. Country Living, I think, does a good job at highlighting homes that really manage to balance high-and-low in a way that other shelter magazines forget. The rooms in Story's home are composed of high-end fabrics as well as less exclusive catalog and tag sale finds.
Bravo, Country Living!

Oh, I agree with you! I love how it feels like a real home...and it mixes high and low! Take care, Caroline
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this. What a lovely house! I've been flipping through Country Living at the checkout counter recently and they're really featuring some great houses. I might have to start subscribing!
ReplyDeletepretty pretty!! The colors of this space remind me of you a little, too.
ReplyDeletestill haven't picked up my city paper yet! Eeek.
I agree, the hi lo mix is great. Country Living seems not so country now. Maybe I should subscribe, hmmm.
ReplyDeleteLove this, especially that Chenonceau wallpaper. It's one of my favorites. Makes such a statement. I almost picked up the magazine at the grocery the other day but opted for House & Home instead (which is amazing too, by the way). This will be my next mag to get. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI want to move in to this house! I love everything about it. The living room is my favorite. Thanks for sharring.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. Love Country Living's fresh looks these days, and have always admired their down-to-earth, achievable approach!
ReplyDeleteCountry Living is pretty much rocking it these days. I think I might get subscription. I love all of the blue and white in this house -- and am assuming you do too!
ReplyDeleteI know! I absolutely fell in love with this home. Quite gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow. Nice. Country Living has gotten hip.
