The above pictures are why I loved Mary Engelbreit Home Companion. Sarah Kammlah's house was sooooo much like my own at the time, I gasped when I saw this feature! The state plates, Oriental designs, all put together in that certain kitchy vintage way!She is from California and now lives in Texas, works as a designer for Homestead. This was from a May 2001 issue, and she is also featured in a Romanic Homes article that I will show in a future post. Her house has changed slightly, she now has two children, and yet it's still the same awesome mix of vintage coolness! Hopefully, Mary Engelbriet will return with more Home Companion, at least that is the rumor! While she could be sometimes a little too "sweet" for my taste, she featured awesome homes and ideas. Let me know if you have heard of Sarah! I love her style.
