HouseTalkN: A "Devine" House Tour!
Cat, That was a wonderful peek into a beautiful home. That is a problem of mine however. While I love the look of the house and the dining room table all dressed, I would love to own the house BUT, when I see homes like that I can't help but wonder if it "lives" more like a museum than a home. Sort of like when you tour a historical home and view a room from the doorway with the ropes up.

True, she was away and perhaps she, like me, only comes home to a "clean" house and a friend taking pictures can create a firestorm of cleaning, but I miss the dog toys lying around and know that while I can admire the look and wish I could live there, it would certainly look more lived in. (In my house DH is a fan of the "doorknob closet" and it makes me crazy.)

Thanks for the tour!!!

No ones house really looks like what pics depict, trust me on that one.
I've seen the whole process during a home shoot many times, its amazing what the photographers do, also the stylists.

I could easily have a house like that..

I'd have to eat out all the time, hire a housekeeper, get rid of the husband, the kids and probably the dogs and cats, but it could be done.
