From our editor, Diane Carroll:
A lovely post from Things That Inspire, highlighting Southern vernacular
architecture. This wonderful quote, from the architecture firm Bates Corkern
Studio, so eloquently sums up the power of home:
“We dwell in our homes and our homes dwell in us. It lingers with us when we
leave. Beckons when we are weary. It is the place that gives us comfort and
ease. Home is the one place where we can simply be. Where we can find our
way in the dark. Where we can identify the sounds of our children’s feet on
the floorboards, trace the same patch of sunlight across the dining room
wall – from spring through the coming winter.”

“I love this soothing shade of blue for a bedroom,” says Katie Rawlings, account executive. “It is so calming, which we all need at the end of the day in our place of rest!” (“Welcome to our Blog” from Shayla Copas Interiors)
Associate editor Paulette Pearson says, “This is the epitome of summer to me: sweet lemonade and alfresco dining, and a sprawling field of green grass.” (Sur La Table from The Bright Side Project)
