I look forward to The Shirted Round Table every week, hope you can do it for many years to come.
Thank you very much for all your hard work. Regards, Carol Ann
I certainly think that blogging mostly adds value for the copyright owners.
I'm not the one to do it, but I wish design bloggers had some sort of ethics statement as a guideline.
Thanks so much to Ms. Carroll for joining the group today. I always enjoy hearing from someone who lives down here where it "wawm" most the the year.
Great interview!
BTW, my girlfriends and I critique every home together and always drool.
Many thanks to you all again -- Kindest regards,
Jan at Rosemary Cottage
I remember Lindsay standing in the pulpit at the Cathedral (at the Antiques show) talking about Amelia's purple bedroom, the cover, and the debate -- it was great!
Jan, yes, we definitely know that people love animals in photos. It's funny how many designers and homeowners simply won't pose for a photograph without their dogs--I think it helps relax them! (Unfortunately cats don't get equal time because they are such divas about getting their pictures taken). We were talking on the roundtable about critical comments/letters we receive. I recently got one after the last issue came out that went something like "You like dogs--we get it. Enough with the dogs!" Oh well. I'm trying not to pay too much attention to that one.
Courtney, yes, we absolutely tortured ourselves over that bedroom cover. Seems so silly all these years later. Thanks, too, for pointing out that the designer is Amelia Handegan. After all my talk about giving credit I neglected to mention that.
Their style is timeless & never overdone. That translates to anywhere.
Ladies it get's better and better!
Thank you!

Lots of good points made here - in particular credit to the photographer. I have profiled some Atlanta homes recently, and have taken my own photos. The experience has given me a profound appreciation for the artistry of the photographer behind the pictures! Great interior photographers are masters at what they do, and truly deserve much of the credit behind the beauty of the pictures.
I love all the talk about magazines & blogs being able to work together.
