Musings on interiors from a self-diagnosed textile addict
Following are a few of my favorite lovelies from this month’s Traditional Home. I especially enjoyed the American Red Cross Designers’ Showhouse (psst… you can shop the look at Dering Hall). Which are your favorite images or articles from this issue?

Welcome to the first post in a brand new CLOTH & KIND column called Lovely List. Every so often, I’ll share my personal choices of the 9 most lovely things from one of that particular month’s design magazines. And I’m kicking things off with pretty, pretty images from one of my favorites, House Beautiful (June 2012).

Which images or articles were your favorites from this issue? If you’re like me, you probably go back and re-read/peruse each issue multiple times before the next one arrives, right? Every time I look back through this one, I keep folding over more pages and focusing in on more little details of the various spaces. I love House Beautiful in that way – it’s layered enough that I can enjoy it, and re-enjoy it over and over again all month long.

This weekend we are in the charming lakefront town of Saugatuck, MI. Michael and I were graciously given private access to a friend’s absolutely gorgeous home (so technically this isn’t our home sweet home but let me tell you, it is sweet).
We thought about bringing the kids but at the end of the day decided we were due a weekend alone. At first I felt pretty awful about not bringing them. But as I sit and write this on Friday evening, with a belly full of delicious food – of which I was able to savor every. last. bite. with no whining or arguing from the peanut gallery – and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon in hand, I can honestly say that I am now happily settled into our weekend of R & R and have fully succumbed to the fact that every parent deserves a break from their little ones once in a while….even if it does happen to fall on Mother’s Day weekend. What are your plans?
