Hello, I'm Katie
I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.

Wow, Katie, I love gorgeous comfortable outdoor entertaining areas, terraces to lounge around with a book and glass of wine, are all good with me!

The elephant table was a stunner. I could definitely see me sitting by the pool with a glass of champagne. I think you will be invited back, all the ladies look great in the photos.
ReplyDeleteAnother unforgettable moment at the show house: the ship chandelier. But if it came with that great pool and pool house, then I'd be happy to own it!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Maybe we could share it!
DeleteLove your posts (as always) on the Show House, but ugh, absolutely hated the decorating!!! Not a restful, calm spot to be found in all that massive square footage! Someone needed to tell the designers that less can be more! The spool chairs in the study and the elephant table are great-Hard to notice them though, in the midst of that hot mess. ;p

You are so right, Sofia - not a calm area in the house. Enjoy your week!
DeleteI love anything that those Madcap Cottage gents come up with and the porch area was no exception! There was definitely a lot going on in that pool house! What fun!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous @3:20AM! The decorating was horrendous! The house was beautiful and with a LOT of editing, I could be quite happy there!!! :)
ReplyDeletePS Was there some reason they needed a skunk by the fireplace on the patio? Is it me? Am I lacking a sense of humor?
Janet... I had to go back to look at the pic. You are soooo right! Too funny. Have a great week.
DeleteMy favorite spot would be that covered patio. There sure was a lot going on in that house. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI always say less is more & this house proves it!! Thanks for the post.....hope to see you soon ! Happy September.... Hugs, Dawn
ReplyDeleteWas not a huge fan of the outdoor spaces....they did not feel cohesive or really pulled together in my opinion, it was a hodge podge of color, sparkle and pattern that frankly made me dizzy....only enticing thing was the pool being we were there on a 95 degree day!
ReplyDeleteNonetheless it was fun..and there were some well done spaces......and some really "off" ones too!! Enjoy your night.
YOU HAD FUN AND THAT COUNTS BIG TIME!
ReplyDeleteThe covered outdoor patio is my favorite too! Wow, lots of color and pattern everywhere!! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us on #stylefocus!
