 The June issue of Country Living arrived last week 
and I wanted to share a few of the photos from the article written
 about our home and garden
 in Ojai California

A huge thank you the crew:

Photographer:  Victoria Pearson
Stylist: Heather Bullard
Assistant:  Pam Garrison

All of these women are extremely talented,
incredibly nice and very passionate about what they do

please visit them to see more of their work

I really enjoyed working with the editorial staff too.  
They seem honestly interested in the back story 
and the evolution of a small little house, in a very small town

Now on to the slide show: 












Millie seemed to enjoy it all too

Have a wonderful week and I will share more about some of the
details we used to make this house our home

    Oh boy! Oh Boy! I've been waiting for this post since last fall when you announced the photoshoot. I've missed seeing your interior room pictures. I get so much inspiration from them! It all looks fabulous! Finally we get to see the master bedroom and THAT kitchen. I'm just going to take the afternoon and drool over these for awhile. P.S so glad Millie made it into the article too.

      I will share a bunch of kitchen shots in some new posts. We spent so much time thinking about how to take a really small kitchen and pack it full of great ideas. I honestly love to cook in this kitchen too!

      Cheers, Kelley

    I didn't know you were going to be featured in Country Living, but while flipping through my issue today I noticed a lovely home that looked familiar to me. As I was looking at the pictures, I thought, "wow, this really reminds me of Kelley's style." Then I started reading. :) Isn't that neat to know you have such a unique style that it can be spotted! I love everything you have done with your new home. You are truly talented and an inspiration!

    I loved your beach house - love this house - love how you personalize each home, creating the home's character to fit the surroundings. Can't wait to hear about the kitchen details - could you share the room measurements - how wide is the cooking area with the island - wall to wall and aisle widths?

    Congratulations, Kelley. The images are beautiful but, for me, what makes your home special is your exquisite taste. Virtually every object chosen is special and the way you put them all together makes your home warm, cozy and unique. The recognition of your talent is well deserved.

    This is just beautifully done!
    As the rain rolled through the garden yesterday, I grabbed my Country Living that had just arrived.
    I soaked up every picture and then beautifully written story of your home and gardens journey.
    I look forward to more details on the blog--you promised!
    Your garden friend,

    Thank you all for the great comments. I have to tell you that it is very odd/surreal to pick up a magazine at the grocery store, open it up and see your bathroom!

    But lots of fun too!

    Cheers, Kelley

    Was flipping through my magazine as I came in from the mailbox and had forgotten your post mentioning the article. What a pleasant surprise. Everything was beautiful. I love gardening and especially enjoy the pics of the beautiful plants. I'm jealous of the citrus as that will not grow in my climate. Enjoyed the vinegarette recipe the other day.

    But having picked a 6 gallon bucket of snow peas this past Saturday and wondering just what am I going to do with all the veggies I've planted, I've realized that AGAIN I have planted way more that I can ever use fresh, can, and freeze. I think I like miracle of growing something beautiful and tasty from a little seed as much as anything. I give away to friends who seem interested but don't want to force it on them. What do you do with all your surplus, that is, assuming you have some?

    Kelley, I love your kitchen table. That picture was missing from the article! Thanks for sharing it. I've been thinking about getting wicker chairs for my wooden table. This might've sealed the deal.

    Your home is so inviting and interesting. I love the blend of eclectic items with order. Love the porch swing {I think that is what it is?}. I've never seen one like that before.

    I am so glad that I found your blog, through Apartment Therapy's coverage of your Country Living shoot. Your home has so many interesting and thoughtful details. I am entirely captivated by the piece of artwork with the white buildings on the mantle. Would you be willing to share the identity of that piece?

    Congratulations on the magazine feature. It's so well-deserved! I absolutely love your taste and have been adoring that bedroom shot ever since I first saw it. It's exactly how I want my new guest bedroom to look! I read somewhere that it's a Martha Stewart quilt, but I love the duvet and coverlet(?), too. Anything you can share with me about what you used would be sooooo, sooo, soooo appreciated because I am beyond pathetic with bedding! (Whatever I buy never looks the way I think it's going to, once I get it home).I need all the help I can get, lol.
    Anyway, thanks Kelley, for all the incredible inspiration and so generously sharing your most amazing talent with us.
    Congrats again - Marlene
