MILES REDD IN TEXAS

Well, I don't believe there is anything left for me to say about Miles Redd.  If you visit my blog, you know that I think that Miles is perfectly talented and surpassed by no one.  He is the man of color (I think he dreams in color), lacquer, creativity and design.  The only thing missing is a book, and I certainly hope there is one in the works!

When I received my Veranda today I had to pinch myself.  Was Miles Redd in two publications in one month? Friends, he was! To be honest, I have been waiting on this issue, and I am not disappointed. Ok, enough from me.

The owners of this Houston, Texas home had been admiring the work of Redd for some time before hiring him as the interior designer. Obviously they made a smart decision. The use of brown, and the painted concrete floors which resemble marble are just the tip of the iceberg.   This article is a must read! Maximize your screen for this one, friends. ENJOY!

It is a must that you get your copy of Veranda!  So much in this months issue.  To read and see more about Miles Redd, visit my previous posts here, here, here, here, and here.

See you soon,

GLORIA VANDERBILT ~ EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN

From time to time I run across something that truly tugs at my heartstrings.  Today it is the story of Gloria Vanderbilt’s life. 

The article in Veranda magazine about this genuinely talented and driven woman warmed my heart.  She truly sought a life surrounding by those she loved.  Son Anderson Cooper, in a foreword to his mother’s book The World of Gloria Vanderbilt,  wrote “what’s extraordinary about his mother are her survival skills.”

The photographs below are just beautiful, and I hope that you ENJOY them as much as I did!

I hope that you have enjoyed this post on the multi talented Gloria Vanderbilt.  To read this heart warming story, pick up your copy of the Nov/Dec issue of Veranda magazine.  It is well worth the coins.

See you soon,

Teresa
