I admit that I haven’t been able to get around to see many of my favorite blogs lately and I apologize for that. However, awhile back I did get an email from a relatively new blogger, named Sarah situated in Jakarta, Indonesia but originally from Sidney, Australia. She was looking for some advice on blogging but I don’t think she really needs any! The other day I found myself scrolling through post after post on her blog, Catalogued Life, totally engrossed in all her stories and interesting discoveries. One of my favorites was this post here on monuments built during the 60s and 70s in former Yugoslavia. You have to take a look at these photos! Part majestic – part intimidating, these structures will totally captivate you.
Speaking of favorites have you seen the post House and Home has up on their website right now? They’re asking readers to vote on their favorite room from the magazine’s archives. Later this year, the magazine will turn 25 years old and I suspect that this contest will somehow play into that special issue. The selection is somewhat staggering. There are over 70 images to choose from. I’ve pulled a few of my favorites from their list including the current number one and two choices. Can you guess which ones they are? No cheating!

I second Melissa though I do have a soft spot for number two. I doubt though I could keep it clean : (
I like 3, 4, and 6 the best! Ooooh, but now I’m so curious to know which are the two top picks!!
Great selection! Number 3 and 5 are sweet!
I’m guessing #1 and #2 are positioned #2 and #1 respectively. Off to see if I’m right!
I guessed it right:) and without cheating..have a great weekend!
Hi Emma,
Thank you for having me on your blog. I’m so happy to be here today. Thank you for being supportive and nurturing of Catalogued Life. As a new blogger and big Marion House fan, it means a lot to have your vote of approval!
Ok…I guessed the first image as a contender before I checked. I love the stark white contrast against the moody blue. And all that lovely art too. Couldn’t guess the second one so easily so had to cheat. I like the crispness of that room in first place. I like no. 13 too – the panelled bedroom!
Have a great weekend!
Woah! Anyone know where that green rug in photo #1 is from? I think I’m in love.
I love #1, also…that chair with the rug and the dark wall color and moody art! Oh my!!!
Hi, Emma!
Glad you’re lovin’ the gallery. There are so many rooms to choose from. The photos with the most votes will be printed in our November special anniversary issue. So exciting!
By the way, Erin, Colette purchased the rug from Pottery Barn, though it doesn’t look like they still carry it. Martha Stewart has some similar faux bois rugs, but I don’t recall seeing it in green before.
Cheers,
Seema
I love the richness of that room. The textures are really inspiring as well.
Thanks Seema for responding. I can’t believe that’s a Pottery barn rug!
