million dollar decorators this week




This week on Million Dollar Decorators, 

I discovered that Mary McDonald 
and I have the same porch railing design 
on the front of our houses!  

I love her, and I can't believe 
I somehow managed to create something 
at my house that mirrors her style...
purely coincidental, 
but so cool!

Mary has such great style!




Next, Jeffrey and Ross decorated 
a vacation home in Nantucket, 
and oh, I am in love!  

The house turned out so hip and beachy, 
but with a definite New England vibe.

started working on Lindsey's new house.

And lastly, Martyn flew to England 
to help his sister remodel an old pub she purchased.

I don't know, do you think this wallpaper is "pubby" enough?

I guess it is!

so excited for Downton Abbey!



The premiere of Downton Abbey, Season 3 is tonight,
 and I’m so excited!  
It's one of the few shows that my husband and I
both love and enjoy watching together.

I think my favorite thing about the show
is all of the gorgeous period costumes.

The details are just stunning!
Season 1 started in 1912 with the sinking of the Titanic,
and the fashion was very Edwardian.

Now they will be headed into the roaring twenties,
which sounds like so much fun!


But of course, the story line is enticing.
The basic outline of the story reminds
 me of one of my favorite books and movies, 
Gone with the Wind.

Both stories center around a wealthy family
with three daughters whose lives are entwined
with their servants. 


Then an epic war takes place,
and their lives are never the same as before the war
when all was so glorious!

I’ve found some of my favorite photos
of the cast to share with you. 


































ciao! fabiana
