What a beautiful day at the home of Burlap Luxe, Dore and daughter Hannah Callaway opened their home on Thursday, August 23rd 2012 to the not only beautiful but inspiring Fifi O'Neill founder and executive editor of "Romantic Prairie Style" along with a number of beautiful cottage industry flea market style inspirational reads on our magazine stands.
Mark Lohman photographer extraordinaire who's wit and charm excites the rooms he photographs. Mark Lohman works closely with Fifi O'Neill's projects, flying in from Florida to Los Angeles then Northern California again back to Southern California to shoot our home where do they find all their creative energy, while holding our hands through the whole process, what a team they make.
Fifi creates a world we all want to live in. When I received her numerous emails and a confirming phone call one stating not to worry they will handle it all and not to stress over cleaning my home. Well of course I would clean my home, and stress was at the top of the list it was the famous Fifi O'Neill and Mark Lohman that were coming to shoot my home, and everything had to be perfectly imperfect for their arrival. They warned me that the process can be quite disheveling, a bit messy...A welcoming mess that I would do again and again. Excuse this mess, Fifi and marks beauty is soon to be seen.
I would love to show you the beautiful shots Mark Lohman took of the different rooms of our home, and the styling Fifi O'Neill does so effortlessly but it's top secret until their release. Thank you Fifi and Mark for gracing our home that shelters with your beauty.

Hello Dore - how wonderful and exciting! I have just been through a similar process, and I must say that I found it incredibly stressful, but Oh so inspiring! It's amazing to see a talented photographer at work - I saw some parts of my home in a totally new and refreshing light!
I'm about to look back through some of your older posts, as I feel that I have been missing out on too much of the beauty that is the world of Dore!
Best wishes, and have a fabulous weekend. Can't wait to see the published results of your marvellous shoot - so well deserved - your home and your style are an utter delight!

Ahhh.....ma soeur, ma chère amie qui aime bien aussi le gris!
Dearest one, thank you for coming to visit. I thought of you as I found gray images of the glory of FRENCH DÉCOR LOVE!
I fixed my header; I have learned so much from Debby my blog designer. I just need to learn to adjust sizes!!
How are you? What beautiful things are you up to? Anita
Well my dear heart, if you need someone to design your blog, GO TO DEBBY at Inspired Designs. She is SO WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH! And I love that you visited my ABOUT ME page! Did you see the mouse I created on my WEBSITE page???? Anita
Anita, I design my own blog and have done white whispers and Bella Rustica's and others...I am getting the bug to recreate something new and soulful for mine.
I am working on a web catalog now.
I will be over soon to visit you and your grey and the grey of your studio...

Dore,
I am so happy and proud of you! I just got your comment....my comment section has been a mess lately and have no idea why. I am so happy for you and have no doubt your home will be just an eye-opener! :-))
Miss you and will email you!
Big hugs

How exciting to have the dream team in your home (and probably stressful, too)! What a blessing to know that your home is beautiful enough to be in print! :)
That is a dream come true, Dore! Congratulations! I can't wait to see your feature.
Congrats... Look forward to seeing the photos.
I know they will be beautiful!

Did you know that the Canadian photographer Robin Stubbert and her stylist Kim Davies were set to some to my home this past Sept 18th for preliminary pics for Romantic Prairie Style magazine! Robin & myself had sent e-mails back and forth with Fifi and she loved what she saw and the photographer told me that I was given a 99.9% chance of having my home featured in the magazine!!.....but then is discontinued!! You're very lucky-your home is beautiful!~Mel
