I agree with you...a great house will continue to be a great house even if it gets redecorated a million times ; o ) And no one can copy someones true personal style<br /><br />xo kelleyKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222598997403329166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-32617923802790367262013-06-11T08:20:49.207-07:002013-06-11T08:20:49.207-07:00This was actress Jami Gertz home originally. Kerr...This was actress Jami Gertz home originally. Kerry Joyce was her architect and decorator - I've saved the entire spread (I have the Paul Hogan, with Kerry Joyce, version too) - the old fashioned way. In a 3 ringed binder!<br /><br />My tear sheets don't have the magazine identified (imagine a time when publishing credit was not as important) it was likely Metropolitan Home.<br /><br />I think you're correct that currently, the home is stripped down for marketing - but a quality stager would have insisted on at least some artwork! The best lesson from this home being featured so frequently? Your personal style is just that, and a home with good bones can absorb most decor impulses - just do it! :-)<br /><br /><br />Linda @ DesignInMyViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722223853682171585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-18748044415855589372013-06-10T06:57:17.649-07:002013-06-10T06:57:17.649-07:00Now that was a fun tour...the home is beautiful......Now that was a fun tour...the home is beautiful...love the side patio...it reminded me of what you had done in your old house....I like collecting good ideas for those eye sore areas out side of dinning rooms...this one I also will save for my files...Julie Taylor and Danni Greenwalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654179547882975006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-47236680063431131812013-06-10T06:54:16.165-07:002013-06-10T06:54:16.165-07:00i've been meaning to write you and congratulat...i've been meaning to write you and congratulate you on the CL article!! i was so excited when i opened my issue and saw your home!! great article and of course great decor/gardens....<br /><br />i love the turq curtains on this post too...they're my fave and of course that great kitchen with checkerboard floor.<br /><br />hope you're having a great summer...i've been truly enjoying all your posts but haven't had time to comment on blogs lately cuz<br />we had a water leak in our house...long story i'll have to blog about, but we're basically having all new wood floors put down, etc!! <br /><br />have a great wk!jvw homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230377482668130410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-57536030710394964182013-06-10T01:16:25.723-07:002013-06-10T01:16:25.723-07:00joni webb recently did a post very similar to your...joni webb recently did a post very similar to yours....after seeing this both times i can truthfully say that money doesn't necessarily buy beauty....i love your home and joni's much, much more than what these expensive "designers" came up with!

Comparing the spaces was so much fun, but the thing that intrigues me the most, and you mentioned it, is the absolute lack of artwork in the home, save the corner of the family room. It just looks incomplete to me, unfinished and is a perfect example of what artwork adds to a space. The image of the Osbourne's home and that door, that exquisite wooden sliding door, well It's incredible!SuzyMcQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390830509824259765noreply@blogger.com
