Country French Magazine!

I was so honored when I heard Country French Magazine wanted to do a write-up on our previous home my husband and I designed!  When we sold the home, the owners decided to purchase some of the original furniture we owned and they also incorporated elements from Alice Lane Home Collection.  So you will see a fun mix of details!  
This home was so rewarding to build, my husband and I used my Dad Kevin Brooks to build the home and the three of us had a blast together!

I will never forget watching Bonnie Broten in her element, staging and designing.  She and her crew were some of the most talented, kindest individuals I have ever met and will always be life-long friends!






























After Bonnie was done working on this particular home for Country French Magazine, she then came up to our Midway home (the home we're living in) and staged it beautifully for Country Home Magazine, which will soon be on stands!  Thanks Bonnie for inspiring me and bringing amazing opportunities into my life!

  13. Hello! I know this post is really old, but I'm desperate to know what paint color was used in the formal dining room? It's a beautiful blue green and I'm ready to paint our home. We've done a full remodel on a little cottage & I just don't know what paint to get. I don't think I'm the only one who's asked. If you could please take a moment and let us know, we'd all appreciate it. Thank you so very much!
