| Sorry for the quality of the photo. I snapped it with my phone. Veranda needs to post more photos online like some other shelter magazines. |
I don't always pick up Veranda, but a quick scan of the magazine in the grocery aisle brought me to this home designed by Sommers. Sold. Black lacquered walls, graphic Chinoiserie fabric-covered doors, abstract art. What's not to love?
Next, Anthropologie's catalog never disappoints. While I wouldn't always choose every outfit for myself, their styling inspires fantasy-filled escapism. November's whimsical winter wonderland theme was no different, and this dress blew me away . . .
Does it really matter that I have absolutely nowhere to wear this dress?? Reality is no fun sometimes. Why can't I just wander through an enchanted forest where bunnies and masked children frolic while I rock a bedazzled dress without a coat (sans the birdsnest hairdo) before returning to my dazzling, colorful home decorated by Ruthie Sommers?
Okay, I'm off to get my oil changed. Happy Monday.

Wasn't Ruthie Sommers supposed to come out with her own book, like, 3 years ago? Where is this fabled thing? I hope it does eventually get finished/published, but until then I guess we can enjoy her work featured in the mags.
The chinoiserie fabric-covered doors! Love!
I think you're right, Ashley. While reading the Veranda article, my guess is she got a little busy having kids - now she has three. So maybe that delayed things. But, I would love it if she came out with a book!
Yes the Veranda is on my kitchen counter as we speak. I finally subscribed once Domino chick took over. It really has a different vibe. Now my all white house seems rather boring:) - Brandy
Love Ruthie! Must get tomorrow!!!
I love both pictures! What great inspiration. I love the pink on those doors. Best. Color. Ever.
Much Love,
