Luck of the Draw

Screen Shot 2014-06-18 at 9.05.16 AMFor those of you who follow me on Instagram, yesterday I posted a photo and said that I had bumped into myself at Harris Teeter. Here is the cover of the new special edition issue of Southern Living Magazine with our kitchen on the cover. I was completely surprised. As I stood in the checkout line and opened the magazine, staring back at me was me. I was already blown away enough to see my kitchen in the checkout line, and then there I was. Whoa. Needless to say I believe the woman at Harris Teeter asked me if I wanted paper or plastic several times before I snapped back to reality. Portraits, InteriorsThis new issue contains a couple of photos that weren’t included in the March Issue of the magazine, including our dining room, and the master bedroom. Even though the flag looks historic, its not. Mr. B found it on the beach at Pawley’s Island after Hurricane Hugo. Portraits, InteriorsIn the master bedroom, I got the Narrow Leg End Table  from West Elm, but I didn’t love the handles. So I replaced the handles with Grafton Clear Glass Pulls from Restoration Hardware.  People always ask me about the headboard fabric, it is John Robshaw. The artwork on the bed wall is by Charleston based artist Megan Aline, and the piece on the left hand side is by Connecticut based artist Dani Renchard.

Walking the Walls

DSC_0007Being able to walk the perimeter of a walled city on the Adriatic and look to the right and see the sea, and to the left see the rooftops of such an historic city was extremely special. The history of Dubrovnik dates back as far as the seventh century, but this historic city with its drawbridges and 18 foot high walls is far from antiquated. Those walls and drawbridges provided a place of refuge for Croatians during the Croatian War of Independence, which took place from 1991-1995. Today, the entire city of Dubrovnik is a UNESCO world heritage site. If you ever have the chance to visit Dubrovnik, I highly recommend walking the city walls and experiencing the view from above of the Adriatic and the city. Here are a few photos from our walk.  DSC_0008 DSC_0016 DSC_0015 DSC_0029 DSC_0025 DSC_0024 DSC_0012
