Fanfair

Tonight, while prepping a few things here at the house for the Richmond event next week, my good friend Austin—she of Salvation Army Chic—called with some surprising news. Apparently, our house is in the new issue of Vanity Fair!

It's an article about Lonny, the new online magazine from Michelle Adams, an old editor friend of mine, and photographer Patrick Cline. Our farmhouse appeared in the premiere issue—read all about it here—and we're super excited for all the pictures in the spread. (Click twice to enlarge.)        

First, there's the shot of our living room with that Roman bust in the corner. Remember what it looked like back in the city? Well, I have to tell you—I love this little house, but it could have gone Laura Ingalls real fast! The Roman bust was the very first thing I pulled off the truck the day we moved in, and as soon as I put it down, Laura Ingalls be gone.  

Here's the table setting I did before Michelle and Patrick got to the house that day. I wanted it to have that cool, country modern vibe with an eclectic mix of new and old. There's lots of great vintage pieces from our Etsy shop—have you seen the new collection?—along with a first run of my very own line of candles. Check out this pretty table setting our friend Lauren did with them! Oh, and do you remember that brass and Lucite bar cart in the corner? I found it at the Hell's Kitchen flea market back in New York, right down the street from our old apartment.

Also in the article is our butler's pantry—here's what it looked like before we moved in—along with some of my copper. I can't wait to have it all back from the Chateau Chic event we did in September!

Finally, another huge thank you to Michelle and Patrick for including us in the premiere issue of Lonny and also to Fanfair editor Punch Hutton—um, can I have that name?—for picking so many pics from our house for the article!

Oh my goodness Eddie!, I just saw your charming house in lonny mag, so beautiful. I meet you at Ballards in Atlanta, and speak briefly with you at the register (back in summer), probably you don't remember. Great, great great, you are very good. your style is very similar to mine, I just don't have the money :)
Best of luck (no that you need it).

You ARE a hot designer--and one of our favorites from Top Design. Love the farmhouse photos (before AND after). Your living room looks fabulous! This is definitely not a "Little House on the Prairie"!

P.S. Is Top Design coming back for another season or what?!!! We did a weeklong feature about the permanent cast and heard only rumors that it might return.

Your drive is amazing. You show your passion in all that you do, that is why you are so inspiring. Now I need to run over to Etsy to see your new collection and candles. I need some Heather colored candles for my Thanksgiving table, will I find that color??? Hope so, Hugs Kathysue

Let's just face it! You are one HOT Designer right now. You make the "old" new and the "new" match the "old." Everyone has a mosh posh of favorites in their home and cannot give them up for many reasons and you know how to update and design with great taste and flair. KUDOS to YOU!

[Heather @ what's blooming this week]

Congratulations! And the Roman bust is fabulous in a country setting.

[Karena]

Congratulations Eddie and Jaithan. So proud of all you have accomplished. By the way are you signature line of tapers made right here in Kansas City?!

[linda@LimeintheCoconut]

"could have gone Laura Ingalls real fast..."

That one had me spewing my morning coffee...out my nose!

Great spread!

[Caitlin]

The thing I love most is that every time I see this room I notice something different about it.

That is what makes a really good design.

[Victoria Zlotkowski]

Wow, this is so cool guys, you're making waves....

I posted on cow hides and sheepskins today and here is one again, right in your living room, gosh, you are so damn trendy!!!!
:D

Love ~ V.
