An Open Letter to Markham Roberts


Dear Mr. Roberts,
I saw pictures of your latest project from Town and Country on several blogs and
I was blown away. Your work has a stylish lived-in look that I adore. The colors, the fabrics, the layers, it just makes me happy all over. In fact I rushed right out and bought a copy of the magazine.


Is this not perfection?

You can do no wrong. And I don't say that to too many men.

I got to thinking about how hard you must work and how deserving you are of a vacation. I am sure you have already visited all the typical hot spots, so I started thinking outside the box. How do you feel about North Carolina? Do you like the beach? Bar-B-Que? Monster trucks? (Just kidding about the monster trucks)


So here is an open invitation for you and a friend to come visit North Carolina. And me. But this is all about you. We can shop, go to the beach, take the boat out. Maybe a booze cruise with dinner. Translation: shrimp burgers and cold beer. And you don't have to do a thing. Unless you want to of course. If you get bored and want to decorate while on vacation, I am willing to let you use my home for your creative outlet. That's just the type of person I am. So let me know what dates are good for you and I 'll starting cleaning up the guest room.
Sincerely,
Sissy

  2. What a great way to write a blog post! We all read tons of posts about this designer or that one and get bored. Thanks for spicing it up!

    I just stumbled across your blog for the first time and thought I would say hello! I looked through a few of your posts and love your style.

    I'm a blogger as well, about the world of art, but my history is in interior design and fashion. I love to hear what people are saying! Hope we get to see more of each other in the future.

  3. Sissy,

    You are too funny. Would you like to write a blog post for me? I'm uninspired as of late, but you've given me hope that there is original content out there! And I had not seen this Markham Roberts project. I think I'll have to rush right out and get my own copy of T&C! Thanks for the inspiration, as always!

  5. You totally crack me up. I am a huge fan as well. I have also had the pleasure of sitting next to him at a couple of dinners and he is as charming as he is talented. Please tell him that I say hi when he visits.
