Weekend Reading

By Kate Riley February 8, 2013

Friday hellos to you all, I made it safely home and it’s so good to be back. I was in Charlotte with the Rust-Oleum team as they unveiled some new stain products – I’ve been working with one of their new colors on an outdoor project, I’ll share that soon!  There are a few new articles over at my Better Homes & Gardens blog, hope you enjoy these.

  1. Hello Kate! Some lovely ideas for the home here! I couldn’t help but notice you mention Downton Abbey! We love the series here in the UK! Can’t wait for the fourth series to hit our screen later this year. I gather it has a big following in the US now?

  2. I was so excited to see my bed (above) in a Rue article. I recently purchased it at an estate sale. I loved it so much–couldn’t afford it, didn’t have a place to put it…but I bought it anyway! I am happy to know that it is indeed French. That bed inspired me to complete a remodeling project I had planned so now it will have a home. Thank you for all your inspiration!!
