Wicker In The Kitchen and Some Magazine News!

23 comments:

You can never have enough little carriers, baskets and interesting things to serve and store things
 in the kitchen
especially when you have a large garden
I picked up this cute little wood berry basket carrier 
for 10 dollars and while I like it just "as is" 
I kept thinking how much better it would be with some baskets
I searched and searched 
and finally found 3 of these great vintage 
French Banneton proofing baskets
They are lined with old linen and as luck would have it 
they fit perfectly in the little carrier


Perfect for fruit from the orchard 
and tomatoes form the garden...
yes I'm still getting tomatoes but just the little cherries

The old linen liners are really beautiful and can be washed if you need to

And now a little news...a few weeks ago Country Living Magazine was here
and took tons of photos of our home in Ojai...two days worth!
The new kitchen, the gardens and orchard 
and all of the interesting little small rooms
 that make up a country home


The house will be in a summer issue
 in 2013

Here is a little shot of Millie that photographer Victoria Pearson took.  Victoria is an amazing photographer and has worked with some of the best magazine editors out there.   And she happens to live here in the Ojai Valley too.  
You may have seen her home and many other photos in House Beautiful 

She worked for many years with Martha Stewart her photos are light filled
 and extraordinarily  beautiful

Stylist Heather Bullard and her assistant Pam Garrison 
did an amazing job and added beautiful flowers and perfectly edited details to every shot

Millie was a model...and now is demanding special kibble and a down dog bed

OH millie...not you too!

thanks for stopping by!

have a great week

xxoo

  9. I'm sooooo excited for you Kelly!! Your home/style is way overdue for a magazine spot. I can't wait to see it and Country Living has always been my fave magazine. You were so blessed to have that amazing team ....I've read about them before on other posts or seen their work.
    Maybe when I get this "farm" more updated, you can send them here!
    (I think we're finally staying put in this house....no more remodels)

    I just noticed you have soapstone on your counters....we put it in the farmhouse too.
    Hope you're doing well,

  10. You really can't expect a model of Millie's caliber to sleep on anything less than down, now can you?

    Congrats, and Millie's a beauty!
