Okay. Here we (I) go.
I recently got this issue of Southern Living magazine. I think the cover is fabulous. I love the colors and the updated design. I think those red chairs are brilliant. But, I am not crazy about the pictures on the railing posts? What is that about? Why there and not on the wall? This is an "idea house" but I really hope nobody uses that idea. Interestingly though, this picture tells a different story.
Look, Ma! No pictures. Do you suppose they were digitally placed? Removed for the shot? Either way - much better sans pictures. But don't get too excited. In this photo they come back for an encore. 
Right next to pictures of built-ins that are begging for doors to hide the clutter and a home office with a completely unnecessary cafe? curtain.

Seems like there is a little too much "I found this great accessory at TJ Maxx" going on. And the rooster over the TV scares me a bit, but not as much as the disturbing marble art over the fireplace. I'd like to move on.

I'd like to move on.I absolutely love the nursery! The colors, the curtain panels, the rocker and the nubby pillow - LOVE IT. Well done.
Okay - okay. I tried to be open minded about this. And I have to admit, it has interest, but when a magazine presents an "idea house" I want the ideas to be really great. Right? Tell me what you think.

The pictures on the stairs just begs for a small child to ruin them. Jackson uses the rails to climb up and down the stairs, so that would be a no-no at our house. I like the nursery too, but it isn't exactly my style. I'm not bold enough to put the curtains up.
Yeah, there are too many things wrong with those pictures on the rails! That nursery is so fun - and I don't believe you when you say you aren't bold enough. You've done some really creative things with your house!!
I think the curtains are my favorite part! :)
Fun fun fun - the whole house is fun, but I would never live there.
