I was going through some old magazines today and ran across this article that I’ve been saving for some time… I loved the pictures, the homeiness, the COLLECTIONS, the combination of Cowboy & Indians * Adirondack Camp * Classic Americana Collections & good old fashioned rustic yumminess.

{Country Living, July 2004, Photography by Steven Randazzo}

So today I started to post the images and low and behold, when I read the article, I realized that this wonderful home was that of one of our very favorite designers here at Cactus Creek, Tasha Polizzi.  Which makes total sense because, like every single other thing that Tasha Polizzi does, this house is Rustic * Western * Vintage perfection.

According to the Country Living story, many of the Native American images in the picture {ABOVE} are prints from photographer Edward S. Curtis.  I found a book of his photography a year ago and took all of the images of the Native Americans out of the book to sell them separately so that people can do with the images what they want to.  I’ve had people buy the pages to scan and print on fabric for pillows, to make cards, or to frame with their perfect mat and frame.  NOTE: I just checked on EBay & there are several Ed Curtis books for sale.  Quick, go now.

In the story Tasha talks about forming these collections over a twenty year span… it’s these great accumulations of items that make this house a home.  Taking a little piece of your adventures home, treasure by treasure, to create collections you can value for years.
