Remember I was making me-self nuts looking for the links to Cote de Texas house tour with Joni's terrific comments? Well, bless her, she sent me the links and here I share them. I can not tell you how much I LOVE these posts-- I can read them over and over and over... maybe I can learn from her through them, I hope!
Oh, swoooon, the seagrass carpets, the bamboo blinds, the flowing silk curtains, gleaming, rich hardwood floors, french chairs with skirts, nailhead trim... ok ok, whatcha waiting for??
Here they are:
Reader's Houses
Small, Stylish Houses
OK, "small" is a relative term...this is TEXAS, so "small" is 3000 sq ft... (Ok OK, not ALL of them are 3000 sf!) Here in my neck o da woods, "small" IS "small"...like 900-1100 sf. Mine clocks in at 2165, not bad.
OK, my other "fave" is Young House Love's How-To's. this one especially, because I am planing to paint my kitchen cabinets in my soon-to-be-house!!! They are just detailed enough without sounding pompous or complicated-- they rock! They are Do it yourself gurus-- be sure to visit their page that has a LIST of all their tutorial-type posts-- amazing what they have done!

I've never visited the first two. Glad to have some new ones to check out. But I love Young House Love. I don't know how two people have so much creativity.
