I saw this guest house on Style at Home’s website and not only loved the preppy interiors, but also the Hermes orange color scheme! I am totally on an equestrian kick right now- between horse artwork to equestrian boots I’m focused on all things Mr. Ed. I rode horses when I was younger- showing up for my first (English style) riding lesson all sassypants by accessorizing my super fly mullet with my favorite white fringed leather cowboy boots. Hey, at least I put some effort into my look. From there I realized I had to go the way of the tan riding pants, black boots and velvet helmet. And I’ve been a sucker for the look since.
Who wouldn’t want to snuggle up with a book here?
The shape of this door makes me weak in the knees.
Note the orange mat on the photo above the fireplace- a great way to add a pop of color!
Beautiful branches- I can’t wait for springtime so I can decorate with them!
I love that Elizabeth Taylor (you SATC fans get that, right?)
Would love to blog from this desk…but wait, what is that fab bag I spy on the shelf?
Yes, that one up top! Turns out this is the home of the Director of Sales for Rebecca Ray – the makers of that bag and all the others sprinkled throughout the home.
I actually had her site bookmarked separate from this home so what serendipity that I was able to connect the two. I ADORE her bags- these two are my favorites!
Some other really fun designs:
I’m off to New York for the High Gloss launch! Tuesday is our big day- be sure to check it out!!!
I am totally digging the equestrian look too! Have a fabulous time in NYC!! Can’t wait to read the first edition of High Gloss!
is there any other style besides equestrian????
i love this!!
xx
i am LOVING these bags!!! i’ve had my horse, duke, for 21 years…..needless to say i love the equestrian look!
AHHH I saw this post on her website over the weekend – and emailed all of my family. Love the Hermes orange, but ESPECIALLY love all the Baker blanket accessories (dog beds, throws, etc). I am a lifelong equestrienne and just die for this look, wishing i could incorporate this in my home some way!
This post was perfect for me because I LOOOOOVE equestrian influenced fashion too! LOVE! And those top 2 bags are TDF! They would be perfect to sport at the races this spring! (I live in Thorougbred land.)
I love this look and really love those bags! So classic.
Wow – that’s amazing – LOVE the door! Oh – and I too have an Elizabeth Taylor. They’re the most amazing dogs eveah! Does anyone know what kind of dog beds those are by the fire place? I’m in love and would kill for one like that for my little Tallulah.
I’m sorry, but I am still picturing you in your “super fly mullet”. Travel safe to NYC and have a blast! So proud of you pal! xx
a very lovely house.
That door is sooooo fantastic, it looks like something out of a Renaissance period film. On a separate note, I want that orange, blue ribbon & horse head print purse.
i’m loving this style. love it.
yay for high gloss & congrats! i can’t wait to check it out:)
I love that house. It is awesome.
Love Elizabeth Taylor as accessory. And love pony anything. Those bags are fabulous!
I fell in love when I saw this spread in the magazine. Perfect country chic.
So excited for the launch, good luck! (c: And I am still giggling about Elizabeth Taylor…everytime I see one of those dogs, that is what I think about…”who is the prettiest girl we know? ELIZABETH TAYLOR!!” That guesthouse is just amazing, too…don’t think I didn’t notice the hermes orange being slipped in again (c: Love it.
I have to say, as much as I love a more casual style in general – this look does get me every time. And the legs on that table are hilarious.
The Hermes orange is perfect!!!!
Oh, Elizabeth Taylor – she certainly looks just like Charlotte’s version!
Love the dark wood and the bright orange!
Love the little Elizabeth Taylor. I noticed one photos had two of the little darlings by the fire! Looking forward to seeing High Gloss!
The little “pieces” of orange all throughout make a big impact. What a beautiful, comfortable home with beautiful, comfortable things. And yes, Elizabeth Taylor is sooo cute :)
Love it, especially the green color. Do you know what it is?
I do understand that when there is a great bag in the picture one might have blinders on but, Oh My God, the feet on that desk are incredible! How does that even happen? They are obviously custom, but made out of what? It’s like a fitted boot.
Love the Gothic-style pointed arches, and Rebecca Ray’s bags are to DIE for!

Very attractive country looking decor. Mostly everything is going modern these days so it is always nice to see something like this. The office is really cool looking with the feet of the desk and accessories on the shelves adding a nice little touch of individualism.
hi there, superb wordpress blog, and a great understand! at least one for my book marks.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous…lovin’ all of these images! I CANNOT wait ’till spring as well to decorate with branches galore. I am on a mission this year to find branches of quince! I adore your blog and so happy I stumbled upon it! Hope you’re staying warm in your lovely boots! Take care, Danielle
