Last week I received my much anticipated new issue of Southern Living. Inside it had an ad on the new Texas idea house in Port Aransas. Every year I try to make it to the idea house just to see Southern Living ideas in person. The house was in Fort Worth last year and I was really was not impressed. The house was very "Victorian" and did not fit my style.The recent monthly issues of Southern Living have not been up to their usual greatness. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the editor from the now retired magazine Cottage Living is in charge? When Cottage Living first started out Ryan and I both loved every page. Then the magazine started to take a down turn and eventually went out of print.
Anyway, moving on....
Friday Ryan asked what I wanted to do for the 4th of July and I thought, hey why not??? Let's go to Port Aransas! Saturday morning we got up early and headed to the beach.
The Idea House was without a doubt one of my favorite home tours EVER! I really enjoyed every room and want to replicate everything!!! I will post a lot of pictures here however for all the pics click here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jones0225/SouthernLivingIdeaHouse?feat=directlink
The home will be showcased in the next issue (August) with a 15 page layout. Their pictures I am sure will be better but at least now you get a "sneak peak"
