The foyers you have shown are absolutely stunning, so I am wondering if you have made up your mind as to how you are going decorate your new foyer.
ReplyDeleteYhe giveaway is fabulous. I am new to this company, however the candles look divine. If it is open to Canadians I would like to be entered, thanks. One of my favourite posts on your blog is the "Green with Envy" post. Reminds me so much of spring and summer with casual elegance.
Have a good weekend!
Love Seda France - so much so that they created our signature candle! I think your posts on Chateaux in January really resonated with me as I grew up in one in Belgium... and the foyers are indeed fabulous (those are our orchids in Cindy Rinfret's image!) Happy weekend, Tina!
ReplyDeletexxoo
How could anyone pick just one foyer when they're all stunning! That zebra runner is fabulous and even though I'm a more traditional kind of gal I would love to use that idea. I love Seda candles but have never tried their soap, the candles are pure heaven. I love your Thursday posts since you have fabulous taste and always steer me toward something new and of course seeing your home come along.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your kitchen posts - the range hoods was of particular interest! You always provide such great inspiration images!
ReplyDeleteliving in india doesn't qualify me for entering the giveaway...but i can still enjoy your blog!! i don't win giveaways anyway..have a lovely weekend Tina..do check out my aqua themed post when you have a moment! xx meenal
ReplyDeleteI loved your post on "Wine Country". I want to go there and the homes you showed were gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI so love a beautiful foyer. A good one sets the stage for the rest of the home.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Impossible to choose. I love the Blackberry Farm post, but all are your posts are beautiful. If the truth be known, One of my favorites was yesterday. All you have to do is look at my labels to see that I love Leontine Linens, and your home is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, Tina!

ReplyDeletePlease come to my giveaway!

I love every post you have done, so many gorgeous pictures. How can I choose which is my favorite? That's like asking me to choose my favorite child....simply cannot be done. (But I do love watching the progress of your incredible home)

ReplyDeleteLike everyone before me has stated, quite difficult to choose just one! If I must I choose, I choose your post on butler's pantries. It's all just so MAGNIFICENT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway, Seda France products are the best. love those candles.You may as well ask us to go into a Candy Store and Pick One Piece of candy! Your posts are eye candy to all of us who enjoy beautiful homes. OK, if I have to, I choose your post; The Crowning touch in the kitchen....range hoods. I love french country kitchens and you gave us plenty to ooooh and auhhhhhh about. Thanks

I love all your posts but coastal chic recently really got me! In this post I love the one with the lantern and leopard carpet on the stairs for some punch! Beautiful. I have a US address where shipments can be stored? Does that count? Hope so - it sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post 'shout-out to white kitchens, it was one of my favorite blog post ever!
ReplyDeleteI dont' think I could choose just 1 post as a favorite, because I love them all. I recently bought a house in Savannah, GA, which I am in the process of renovating, long distance from Chicago! Your blog and the fabulous photos you post everyday have provided so much inspiration for me. As a matter of fact, just the other day you posted a bathroom with a light fixture I knew was exactly what I wanted for my house. I found the fixture on line and ordered it right away. You have exquisite taste ... thanks so much for all the time you dedicate to this wonderful blog! Susan
ReplyDeleteI love all your post but have to say my favorite so far was the 'Penchant for Pendants'. What a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love Seda! I keep a little stash of their pagoda candles on hand to use as hostess gifts.
ReplyDeleteAs to the foyers...I get more convinced everyday that you and I are decorative twins. There are a few of these in my "inspiration" files! Im in love with that limestone Robert Stern foyer in particular.
My favorite is the beach house Chic! I have a passion for aqua!
ReplyDeleteAlso, great timing! I'm sure you saw my blog, I'm having a little giveaway as well. :)
Have a great weekend!
I was going to look for the post - when I discovered your lovely blog - but I have to say that your previous post featuring your amazing home will be etched in my brain forever. What an unbelievable place to call home.
ReplyDeleteAnd please put my name in the hat. I love high-quality candles.
Happy weekend!
Mon
You outdid yourself once again, there is such a lot of fabulosity to gaze upon here! The blue and white from Suzanne Kasler has to be a fave, although the view out the front of your first example of the front to back version is simply stunning. I would go and just live in the foyer!
ReplyDeleteSending you a smile for the weekend,
tp
These are indeed fabulous! I love iron spindles and and a pendant lantern..
ReplyDeleteI'll have to say Beach house for a fave post - because it's all i can think of these days..
Glad you fell for my little trick today!!
Vie
It's so hard to pick just one of your posts...they are all so beautiful and inspiring! I love your kitchen posts and your home update...amazing! Thanks for following! It's so nice to "meet" you too! What a fabulous giveaway! I love candles!!
ReplyDeleteI liked the post on your house updates...anything w/ inspector Teddy is darling! Happy Friday! xx
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose a favorite post of yours…have to say that each of your posts is thoroughly researched and thought out. Your pictures are always a delight as well.
But, if I had to choose….The post about the update on your own home (think it was a month or two ago) that had Inspector Teddy doing his due diligence AND had wonderful bed and breakfasts comes to mind.
Hope you have a nice weekend,
Amy
I love that green foyer with the huge flowers. Hard to say which post of your's was my favorite. They all show lots of examples of whatever you are talking about but I did really enjoy the one about range hoods. When I get ready to put a range hood over my stove...I'll come back to this one to look at all the examples.
ReplyDeleteDrooling over the Amy Morris foyer. Wishing our foyers were larger!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Hello!! I honestly look at your blog daily because I love it so much. There are several that are my favorites, but I loved "the crowning touch in the kitchen....range hoods!" It made me so happy to see so many beautiful kitchens.
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness
ReplyDeleteHard to pick just one post that I love
Your blog is gorgeous and your home is a dream coming true
wow
I guess I would say the Blackberry Farm post if I had to pick'
Thanks for offering such a great giveaway

Pam
Oh gosh, do I love foyers! These are over the top beautiful! and I can't wait to see yours when it's all complete! I would have to say ALL of your posts are my favorite! but if I had to pick one, it would be the one with the outdoor rooms....simply beautiful....I don't think there is anything better in a home than a cozy elegant, casual, coastal outdoor room. I HOPE I WIN!!! Candles and soaps I adore!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Napa post, but these foyers are incredible too!
ReplyDeleteSo many great posts to choose from, but I always love the ones with your updates on the house. It's so much fun following along with you. I just love Seda products so my fingers are crossed! xo
ReplyDeleteLove Seda candles! The ultimate shout out to white kitchens and the georgian posts are two that stand out for me, but all of your posts are so well researched. As for the foyers, I always go for the classic checkerboard look. I really like Michael Dale's blue/green walls - I am really into that shade right now. Have a great weekend! xo KO
ReplyDeleteLove Seda-love your blog! Foyers are so interesting and as your have show, the possibilities are endless! I especially loved the David J flyer-the sunny stools remind me of Palm Beach! Have a great weekend-Barbara

ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway and beautiful foyers. I like the ones where there is an obvious mix of old and new pieces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! OK, my favorite posts are always, ALWAYS the ones you do on the progress of your house. But the one that sticks in my mind as of recently was the one showing the tile selections for your bathrooms. I thought about those tile combinations for days after! Loved them! M.
ReplyDeletewww.interiodesignmusings.blogspot.com
I am a fairly new reader, so I'm not going too far back, but my favorite post, so far, is "Green with Envy". Green is my favorite color to decorate with, so I was very inspired by all of your lovely pictures! My name is Claudia and my email is tobelieve at earthlink dot net
ReplyDeleteI did love the post you recently did on pendants. There were some great images that I took for my files. Who does not love a wonderful candle :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I enjoy all your post, but especially the ones that zero in on specific design/details - lights, marble, etc... This post on foyers is so good, too. I always learn something from your post - Thank You!
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard, Tina, to choose just one favorite post as they all are great! If pressed, however, I'd have to say that any post about the progress of your own home are always favorites. I really liked the post(s) about flooring (i.e.-the chevron and herringbone pattern wood floors, and the beautiful marble floors). Then, I always enjoy the "Things I'm Loving" Thursday posts. Great giveaway! Hope I win!

My favorite is your Napa post. I used to live in the Bay Area-that post left me feeling homesick for warm drives in the countryside and vineyard picnics :)
ReplyDeleteI love the post you did on Butler's Pantries. We live in an 1884 building with a big one and it is SO handy!

ReplyDeleteOkay, you have just thrown a wrench into my weekend by discovering your blog! I must make time to go thru all your posts.

Too many great posts from which to choose. I liked the one with your French observations and then the one on wallpapers...anything about your house. I have been wanting to buy the first candle just for the pretty container. What a great give-away!

ReplyDeleteJust beginning to read your blog...a southern gal so Blackberry Farm is my fav. Adore Seda so here is my hat in the ring. XXpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous give-away!
Chic Coles sent me my first Seda candle
a while ago & I have loved them
ever since!
Well, if you really must know,
I glanced at your house update the other day,
http://tinyurl.com/3ne2qm2,
and my heart went pitter-patter!
There is so much "beyond fabulous" eye candy
and information in that post!
I actually decided to wait to read it
and instead thought of it as one of
"those" magazines that you set aside
until you can read through it entirely
without any interruption!
So with my iPad, by a roaring fire,
with my feet up, under my favorite throw,
with a nice glass of wine,
I read and savoured every picture.
Oh yes,
I studied your wiring & kitchen ceiling
& stunning french doors!
I then went on to lust for
alpaca & fine linens.
Thank you, thank you
for that post & for writing this blog.
I don't care if I win or not,
I already have received your gift!
xo Lisa
Tina,
ReplyDeletePlease don't ask us to choose between theses fantastic posts! They are my daily personal treat! I do Thank You for opening my eyes to so many details when I thought I was already quite aware. You have given me entrance to places I will never go, but more, you have enabled me to see the places I do go in a new way. And I also want to Thank You for the link to Jen Ross' photos of Land's End. So sad to see the loss of these "cottages". And Thank You for sharing your personal journey of building your lovely home!
Have a wonderful weekend!
All lovely but I think the Robert Stern and Amy Morris are my favorites - I'm sure no surprise to you.
