ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND RUSTIC LIVING

Today is my One Year Anniversary, and I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed becoming friends with so many of my fellow bloggers and my readers. When I started this blog, I had no goals set. Actually, I didn't have a clue what I was doing.

I have become a part of a very large family, and I treasure each one of you. Thank you for welcoming me by becoming a follower, reader and friend. For those that have graciously added me to their blog roll, thank you so much.

I am looking forward to a huge 2011! My goal is to make Splendid Sass a larger and even better blog.

Now on to Rustic Living

This beautiful, rustic home is located in Ketchum, Idaho in the Sawtooth Mountains. Rusty and Mary Lynn Turner and their three children moved from Newport Beach, California, to make a home in these mountains three years ago.

Mary Lynn is an interior designer, and daughter Marie graduated with a masters in fine and decorative arts from Christie’s Education in London and worked with the David Collins Studio in London. Emily graduated with a degree in economics from the London School of Economics With two designers and an accountant, the family opened M. Elle Design. ENJOY!

I hope that you have enjoyed this post. To read more about this home visit here.

See you soon,
Teresa

BESIDE AN INN IN BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA

When Steve and Marianne Harrison tired of the fashion industry in New York, they settled in the historic Rhett House Inn. The four star inn now has 17 rooms and many amenities.

After the major expansion the couple decided to move, and they built a home on the property next to the inn. The home was furnished with classic American and British furnishings from the historic inn. ENJOY!

I hope that you have enjoyed this beautiful home. To see more homes pick up your copy of the December issue of Southern Living.

See you soon,
