Publisher Kelly Fraiser turned to I’m An Organizing Junkie while remodeling. “We are doing a minor remodel in our kitchen and found some great tips to help get it organized. If I had to think about keeping or tossing, I tossed. It’s great to know what’s actually in my cabinets. I had no idea I had a terracotta roasting pot.”

It’s not surprising acrylic colored pencil holders from Mirror Mirror caught art director Mandy Keener’s eye. “This is the perfect answer to my color therapy!” she says.

Paulette Pearson says, “Little Brown Pen is the product of a woman who loves France and photographs it obsessively. It’s also inspiration for anyone (like me) who loves French-inspired decor and design.”

Editor Diane Carroll, who’s currently making final edits to stories for the September issue, says, “We’re working on our Sept.

“We are working on changing out our kitchen countertops and backsplash,” says account executive/marketing coordinator Lauren Strother of the home she shares with her husband, Lee, “and out of all my inspiration hunt images I believe I like this sleek kitchen the best. I love the white countertops with the white subway tiles. So simply and timeless.” (“Urban Grace Interiors” from House of Turquoise)

From editor Diane Carroll: “The design community is eagerly awaiting the first issue of the online magazine Rue, and the founding editor published a sneak peek of her own house this week. It’s a beautifully simple and elegant room, and you can see how one touch of color (pink, in this case) changes the look. Imagine a dash of orange in summer, or cranberry in December–that’s the beauty of white.”

From art director Mandy Keener: “Marvelous! Digging the plate display.” (“Katrin Arens” from Mint)

From associate editor Paulette Pearson: “Be still my heart! Maybe it’s the serene colors, or maybe it’s the fact that I woke up so early today, but this bedroom (designed by Melanie Turner and featured in Veranda) couldn’t be more inviting to me. I could curl up on that sofa for hours!” (“Refreshing Perfection” from Delight by Design)

From account executive Kathy Condrey: “Such a cute idea for a rug! This would work perfect in our playroom.” (“Before & After: Belén’s Rug)

From advertising coordinator Laura LaRue: We have weddings on the brain at our office this month with our fall weddings issue going to press in a few weeks. These pics are just the perfect inspiration I’ll pass on to all my engaged friends. Beautiful! (“Everything Fabulous”)

From associate editor Paulette Pearson: “I’m an avid reader of Jane Aldridge’s world-famous blog, Sea of Shoes.

Our October “Gracious Living” issue is out! We couldn’t wait to show you this kitchen. Why? In addition to dual islands and sinks, white quartz and carrera marble, it features a glass-front cabinet displaying this gorgeous collection of Old Paris china, which becomes as much a part of the design as any other element in the space. Designer Chris Goddard, who created the space, told us, “Collections are best grouped together, so instead of being random items they have mass impact.” Adds Cynthia McClanahan, who shares the home with her husband, “It’s a part of living graciously, using your china or your silver on a daily basis so it’s shared and enjoyed.” (Click here for the entire house)

In the spirit of living graciously, we rounded up more kitchens in which china takes center stage! Which style would you most enjoy?
