weekend home style: country living

I just happened on The Selby this morning and this home caught me up in the wonderfulness of their upstate NY country home. They have a big barn that he uses as a studio and another barn for guests to sleep in/ party area in addition to their main house.

did I mention they have a fenced veg garden?

main house

guest barn

I love all the wood everywhere, it reminds me of my childhood

fresh herbs!

I think this is my idea of my perfect life

lovely (real) wood flooring

massive fireplace

stairs up to the bedroom

I like the bookcases as headboard idea- better grabbing distance.

nice, big, open kitchen with lots of counter space

big enough to make pickles from your own cucumbers from your own garden!

I think I am about to die from envy of the perfect house.

happy thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving dinner, I think it's because it involves so many of my favorite foods. You have the stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, yams, pumpkin pie... who could ask for more? This year I have finally gotten a good attendance for Thanksgiving, though we'll be celebrating tomorrow evening (I didn't think Brits would fully understand the whole holiday on a Thursday thing, though I am looking forward to explaining why Americans love Thanksgiving so much...)

But to everyone celebrating Thanksgiving today- have a good one! :)

market chaos

So Taylor Swift decided to stop by Portobello Market again yesterday. And she came back to the shop, twice, once midday to get loads of tiles and again after 6 to get some more stuff. All I can say is that I'm glad I was inside the shop when she came, talk about feeling like a fish in a fishbowl. Sweet girl but bad timing....

Both Heidi and I agreed that we would not want that much attention from that many people and paparazzi. In a funny moment Bob- who has the stall under the right hand awning- told a paparazzi- "Didn't you get enough photos last time? Just send another one of those in, you're not getting any photos now with all these people in the way." Haha, oh Bob.
