In the MAILBOX: Western Interiors, Aug/Sept 2008

When I first found Western Interiors and DesignMagazine I was sure that I had discovered a fabulous resource dedicated solely to Rustic * Western * Vintage homes. It turns out that the magazine’s title was rooted in the location of the homes it featured, not the style of homes featured.

While Western Interiors doesn’t focus entirely on “my style” of home decor, they do feature fabulous homes, and in every issue I am pleasantly inspired by fresh designs from top designers. And always there is at least one interior that fits into the Rustic*Western*Vintage style precisely…

This Aug/Sept 2008 issue of Western Interiors Magazine, ”Small Home Luxury” is dedicated to making the most of a SMALL SPACE. My favorite home in this issue is an 1800’s cabin that was moved from Michigan to Montana.

The owner of the home moved the cabin in an admirable effort to stay true to her spot of Montana land. {I love the idea that everyone has a spot of land that is meant for them and them alone.}

The minimal decorations pay homage to the original home builder who painstakingly built this home by hand using the only spare tools available over 100 years ago. His workmanship is framed by classic cabin furniture and a departure from our generation’s obsession with “stuff”. I am always inspired by the refreshing images of a home that is simple in design and decor, versus being filled with clutter and junk.
