Books: Fresh American Spaces {annie selke}
November 24, 2011
I mentioned Annie Selke in the last post
because I fell for this designer's fabrics
for my son's room and the studio.
These are the lime curtains I chose,
and here is the bedding:

Lenox Ticking (citrus) - Pine Cone Hill
If you're not yet familiar with Annie's work,
you are in for a threeeee-uhl (that's southernspeak
and never mind that I'm a midwestern girl).
AS IN.
Go buy her latest book...like immediately.
BTW.
It did not magically appear in the mailbox,
and I am not being compensated to gush about
I simply rushed out to buy this gem
a few months ago and went wackadoodle.
Much much more than pretty pictures, my friends.
You will LEARN learn LEARN.
I mean.
Recall seeing a few of these images
of a glorious beach house (Chatham)
printed in House Beautiful a couple years ago?
Please, someone create this space
and invite me over for a cocktail.
I'm little and will drink maybe two...tops.
Fine.
I'll create it.
You're invited.
Annie's quite lovely ladylike
romantic cottage living room.
Like the sexy hot pink wide stripes
peeking through? Ahhhhhhh.
I have these shams in a guest room.
*shameless love note to Annie Selke*
Dear Annie:
You and your happy rooms inspire me.
The book is divine.
I love that you're not ALL about big bold color.
You truly know your way 'round a cheerful palette
and how to strike "the balance between
fashion and functionality."
p.s.
I'm thinking about using one of your
bright prints (pink!) in my office.
**************
Feelin Annie Selke?
Peace to you right where you are.

Feeling absolutely Annie Selke!!!! What an inspired space...I love little pinks peeking out from an otherwise neutral decor. It gives a space so much character...
