This week Megan, Joni and Linda chat with Christina Strutt, founder and creative mind behind the British lifestyle firm Cabbages and Roses and author of their latest book At Home With Country: Bringing the Comforts of Country Home (Cabbages & Roses)
Join us as we discuss with Christina some of the photo shoots highlighted in the book (see photos below and follow along) and about the differences between American and English style and styling.
City home
Christina's Tree House and courtyard room
Long Island home
Cape Cod home
Hanham Court (see more pics here http://www.hanhamcourt.co.uk/)
Christina is looking to open a shop (or shops) here in the States. Where do you think her particular brand of English country style would work best?

I wish I could be of help re the location for her shop, but I live in Australia and am not too familiar with the US retail market or city demographics. Definitely East coast..North East. Boston?

Definitely agree her style is very well suited to the East Coast -- the area around Washington, D.C. is booming despite the economy elsewhere, so maybe that would be a good starting point? Yet I could also see this style working well in California, maybe Santa Barbara or Santa Monica? Would definitely want to visit her store!

What a pretty, casual and comfortable style!

A location near SanDiego,California would be perfect for us!!!!
Send me a card when you'll be opening......I'll be your first customer.

I haven't left a comment before but really loved the interview. I am waiting (impatiently) for my copy, it's on back order. All the photo's look so stunning and looking forward to seeing more of Trisha Foley's city apartment. The harmless stalker that I am!!!! I wish Christina would open a store here in Australia (sigh). I think sometimes we can forget to collect over time and not rush out and buy everything new. I also was grateful to hear that Christina can be torn with clutter and non-clutter, just like the rest of us. That objects displayed should have a personal meaning...great job ladies, as always. I am trying over time to catch up on the podcasts that I have previously missed. Gotta love that English accent!!! Look forward to the next podcast.
Take care

I feel we are all seeking visual comfort to translate mentally for ease of living. Simply pleasures such as relaxed environments work everywhere. What we seek we can find be it shop, blog, book or another's home because wonderland is anytime or place "You" want it to be.

So looking forward to when C & R graces us on this side of the pond and also, to purchasing the book.
Well done ladies...
