Chris Barrett

I was flipping through my House Beautiful magazines last night and realized that I am in love with the style of Chris Barrett.  I have collected numerous images and gutted a few magazines that were of her designs.  Her 1929 Spanish style bungalow was featured on the front cover of House Beautiful as well as a nice spread inside.  Her home is only 1050 square feet (320.04 meters) and extremely charming.  I love how everything is white or cream (a clean canvas) and then she adds dark woods and interesting antiques even worldly treasures, finally she adds the color with flowers, food and pillows.  All of which can be changed on a whim to suit the mood or season.  The roses on the front of her home are Eden Roses, must get some.

The following are some of her other projects. 

I'm pretty sure that most of them have been involved in past posts here on Heidi Claire.

Georgous!!!

Happy Place.

For the next few days I will have a glue gun attached to my right hand and silver glitter letters stuck to strange places on my clothing as I plow my way through Homecoming Mum season.  If you don't hear back from me by Monday, the authorities should be contacted.  They might find me in a cocoon of ribbons, paw prints, zebra stripes, cow bells, balloon string, glitter stickers and hot glue webs.  For those of you that do not live in Texas or Oklahoma, a homecoming mum is worn at a special homecoming football game.  It is a large fake chrysanthemum with loads of ribbons, trinkets and bells, plus the name of the mum owner and their boyfriend's name as well. The bigger, the better.  Even the boys wear them on their arms. 

 Click here to see some I made years back.

I will go to my happy place in my mind, while I listen to my favorite Pandora stations.  Here is a picture of one of the Happy Places I will visit.

White Winter Home.

This is one of those MonochroMAGIC homes.  Whites, creams, sparkles and time worn woods, a perfect combination.  My favorite accessory in this home is the matching kitty on the bed.  Enjoy, Heidi
