ROMANTIC COUNTRY LIVING

October 12, 2011 10 Comments

I have wonderful news to announce!The most recent issue of ROMANTIC COUNTRY LIVING is out and its a fabulous issue!The WINTER issue is full of good reads and wonderful homes.I especially enjoyed the feature on BUILDING CASTLES IN THE AIR!Its about a former California ranch house turned into an Italian farmhouse.The setting is in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA outside the SAN FRANCISO Bay area.I recently heard through this site that a woman in Texas saw the home and had nothing but good things to say.Which in turn immediately put me on high alert that the magazine was out!Off I went to our nearest grocery store only to be very disappointed as there was no new issues out yet!Then I alerted the boys via text message as to who could find it first!Well, the long haired,handsome,gorgeous creature that lives up in the mountains in a tiny little town was the winner!He did complain about the cost of the magazine and I did tell him his MOTHER would re-inburse him immediately to buy it now.For a moment I thought he was kidding with me then when he mentioned DUKE on the sofa I knew he had to be looking at a real copy!Now as soon as I can make the computer which I will not call names upload the photo I took of the cover of the magazine I will share with you!Otherwise, head down to your local vendor and take a peek!I think the staff at ROMANTIC COUNTRY LIVING did an outstanding job with MY HOUSE!I applaud you all…………Mary,Fifi,Mark and the writer extraordinaire MADAME E.MARCANTONIO.I thank you from the bottom of my repaired heart!

    I so enjoyed the magazine tour of your fabulous home!!! It felt so
    good to see such creativity and originality instead of everything white and perfect as if no one actually lives there!! I have heard
    of your fabulous place from my daughter and it did not disappoint!!
    Love the dramatic treatment over your bed! And the window grate on your fireplace and all the fabulous framings. I have shared it with my 2 artist friends at work. One has spent time in Italy
    and loved the hops over the beam in the living room. I am saving
    the issue to share and inspire others to do what their creative heart speaks to them. THANK YOU SO MUCH – TAKE CARE!!!

    Brava to the one and only Contessa. Having been one of the fortunate ones to see this enchanted home in person I was so excited to see the pictures and read the article in the current issue of the magazine. It is wonderful! A fitting testament for collecting the beautiful, and displaying those treasures with the talent and flair that very few people possess. A TRUE RENAISSANCE WOMAN.
