Fifi O’Neill at This Old House!

  If  you haven’t seen Fifi O’Neill’s fabulous style in either her books or her Florida home featured in Coastal Living Magazine, here’s just a taste….

Coastal Living Germany issue – Fifi’s home featured

  Found on Amazon –
Fifi O’Neill grew up in Paris, France. She lived in Manitoba, Canada, for 15 years where she first fell in love with the region’s vast and beautiful prairies. A move to the United States took her to the great plains where the song of the meadow lark echoes through pristine landscapes, little prairie dogs peek through lush tall grass, and where comfort, simplicity, and harmony with the earth became the foundation for her own style, Prairie Style.
As editor, writer and photo stylist, Fifi O’Neill has produced numerous features on home decorating, food, and gardening for American and European magazines such as Coastal Living, Country Living (USA), Casa Romantica and Casa Antichi (Italy)–and many more. Though her work has taken her from coast to coast and Europe, her heart belongs to the prairie with its enduring aura of romance and nostalgia, its enduring connection between people and places, and its gentle yet resilient spirit.

   I have had the honor of spending today with Fifi and professional  Photographer Mark Lohman while they photographed This Old House for future publication. Looking beyond their obvious talents, these are two very warm and charming people.  To spend a day in their presence was truly inspirational and so much fun.
Thank you, Fifi & Mark ~
and Thank you Kat of Low Tide High Style for making the connection 🙂 

 How cool is that?

  5. That is just soooooo cool! And your home deserves to be in a magazine. It is just gorgeous.

    My home featured in a kitchen magazine years ago. I didn't recognize it in the photos. It looked so organized and clean and stylish. You should see it in real life. You wouldn't think it was the same house 😉

    I'll see if i can find the magazine and put the photos on my blog.

    Can't wait to see the result of your photo shoot.

  6. Oh gosh… VERY cool. Bet you had great fun just watching the photo session. AND, did you get to meet Kat? I'm still waiting for that! 🙂

  7. Karen, It couldn't happen to a better person or family. You and Mike have worked so very hard to create such a beautiful setting and home…..did you happen to ask the photographer what settings he was using, while looking over his shoulder?

    See you in a couple of hours.
