I didn't buy the Amy Butler house book. It was expensive and usually decorating books get outdated more quickly than cookbooks, of which I also have a looooong list I want, but more about those later. I do spend a few minutes with it when I ever I get the chance at the bookstore, because it is just about the perfect example of the decorating I love. I have also saved magazine pages each time I see them, including the most recent ones from Mary Engelbreit Home Companion (which I hear is only going to be in production through December unless they get a new publisher, which makes me sad. I am also a little concerned about Country Home because it has been quite thin the last few issues).
Sooo pretty. I have that same vintage blue Shiny Brite, so I like to think I am on the right track! I am trying to finish up our family room pillows before it is time to move on to Christmas and I notice that the pillows on her couch made out of her fabric do not have any trim or piping. Real life, or just for the photo shoot? That would be a lot easier. What do you think?
Did you see the free patterns on Amy Butler's website for the christmas items in the article? And that is terrible news about Home Companion. I really hope they find a publisher.

Love love love her.. and she is just as sweet in person as you would think.
I get the impression that Ms. Butler only does "real life."
