Flea Market Style...

The Summer 2012 issue of Flea Market Style is hitting newsstands!

If I may say so myself, this is the best cover they have EVER had.

The home pictured on the cover belongs to Brent Heeb and Darwin Otto, the owners of one

of the most popular antiques malls in 

Portland {and one of my many 'happy places'}, Stars Antiques.  

Brent and Darwin have the most

well curated, comfortable and fabulously collected home I have

been blesssed to visit.  Their home is a testament to what can BE when

you collect for many years {and have a fabulous eye}.

When preparing for this issue, Ki called and asked if I knew any magazine-

worthy homes in Portland.  I had just moved back to Portland and called a few

well-connected friends {heyyyyyy Allie} and voile!  A few emails and

phone calls later, I found myself in southeast Portland taking some

scouting shots and trying to keep my cool as I was in total AWE of this home

and the collections it held.  I remember calling Ki from my car after

I left and telling her something along the lines...."the home is full 

of vintage goodness, probably the best styled home I have ever

visited with the MOST flea market finds".

The photo below is the scouting photo I took of the same

space pictured on the cover!  {What the cover missed is that

fabulous vintage rod iron chandelier!}

Overall, it was such a fun experience, having the home on 

the cover is the proverbial icing on the cupcake!

I was lucky to receive some extra copies of this issue of

Flea Market Style and would like

to share a couple with Forever*Cottage readers!

Just leave me a comment telling me what sort of homes you would

like to see more of in magazines.  I will

pick TWO winners to receive a free copy of Flea Market Style magazine!
