At Home with Mary Emmerling
3.27.2008
Those of you making a run to Round Top next week may catch a glimpse of one of the stars of design ~ Mary Emmerling. Creative Director of Country Living Magazine and author of 17 books, Mary is a genius of detail and a trailblazer in design. We never grow tired of her refined and sophisticated style .
Welcome to the home Mary shares with her husband Reg Jackson in Phoenix,Arizona. Her talent for consistently updating her version of "country" by mixing in clean, fresh elements along with the traditionally rustic ones has kept her at the forefront of design for decades. Her name is synonymous with modern country today .
Signature Mary~~ terrific eye for detail and creative/contrasting tablescapes...

Interesting the way she uses everyday utilitarian items as part of her decorating scheme. The functional things are often out on display , therefore creating the personal/lived-in look she's known for.Interesting elements of suprize scattered through-out her home bring depth and layering and an informal atmosphere.
The mix of Mexican silver, baskets, pottery, books, crystal, saltillo tile, white walls, and white linens.... animal prints, black and white photography, southwestern jewelry, kilim rugs, and of course~ painted furniture make Mary Emmerling's brand of style instantly identifiable. She encourages us to bring our trinkets and momentos out of hiding...... a pretty good way to live. Thanks,Mary!

Hey Shelley!
Your blog is so beautiful - just like you! I love this on Mary Emmerling - I've never seen this house before. You know she has a new book this is coming out any day now. I saw her at Round Top in the fall. Are you going?
