Dara Caponigro and her staff hit it out of the park with the April issue of Veranda! This issue is a top-notch stand out, replete from cover-to-cover with beautifully executed and inspirational design. Above is the foyer of a Florida home designed by James Michael Howard in collaboration with homeowners Robert and Sallie Ann Hart. I just received my issue last night and have already spent an inordinate amount of time drinking in every detail of these faux bois walls and limed wood pieces. (photography by Miguel Flores-Vianna)
DC designer Frank Babb Randolph transformed a Georgetown home into a refined, light-filled space that showcases the paintings of owner Robert Rea, whose work is carried by Susan Calloway Fine Art. Perfectly placed splashes of color throughout the home create a beautiful balance of energy and calm. I love the styling of this table - gorgeous! (Photography by Max Kim-Bee, styling by Olga Naiman)
Designer Roberto Bergero's Parisian pied-a-terre masterfully showcases color blocking that is classic, balanced and vibrant all at the same time. Every image in this spread is stunning. (Photography by Rene Stoeltie)
Just one more - a classic library designed by Peggy Stone with formal furnishings that still create a lived in, comfortable feel. Notice the subtle and interesting detail in the drapes - she trimmed them in a slightly different shade of gray. (Photography by Peter Vitale) I haven't been this excited about an issue of a shelter magazine in a long time.
Thank you, thank you Veranda!

Wow this is lovely. I live in a farmhouse...but oh how I drool over the new gray and beige colors that are so soothing and popular. Love the photos you tickled our fancy with.
Blessings,
Debbie
Love the drapes with the shades of gray in the last photo!

Grand slam....Yep!
Lovely images. I never remember to remember them. Hmm.
I haven't seen the current issue of Veranda yet, but I was just thinking last night about how wonderful Veranda is. And with Margaret Russell at the helm of AD, it's become a magazine worth buying once again. Elle Decor is kind of hit and miss these days. And poor old House Beautiful ... well, if it doesn't improve soon, I won't be buying it.
I agree. I bought it yesterday at the supermarket and was gobsmacked at how gorgeous it was. Half way through the Jim Howard spread I was like "this looks like Suzanne Kasler" and flipped back to see it was Jim. Two of my favorite designers, so I got mixed up! I loved the other houses too. That library you showed is stunning. I stared at it for about 20 minutes last night in bed (gee, that sounds pathetic).
Since House Beautiful has been so unreliable (and weird, for lack of a better word) lately, it is nice to see a clean, stylish, gorgeous, pitch-perfect shelter issue...

Each room is so different but equally beautiful. I will definately add Veranda back on to my reading list. Just can't decide on a favorite here! XO
I completely agree! This issue was one of my very favorites!
LOVE the center table in the photograph of the foyer... this issue is exceptional. I was worried about Veranda for a while, but they're definitely back on track.

The Florida home's foyer...perfection!!
I was so excited to actually want to pick it up several times - that has not happened in a long time!
Maybe I need to renew my subscription. That dining room is my favorite - especially those chairs.

Don't you just love getting a great issue? I could feel your excitement as I read your post!
Love that first image- especially the faux bois walls and those mirrors.....to die for!
Thanks for your comment, Michele. Maybe you can come to the antique shows in the fall! Take care. Ann

Wow! Spectacularly gorgeous - every single pic. Thank yo!
This post sent me straight to the nearest newstand. I expect to be up half the night taking it all in---Satan!
I just LOVE grey! The last image is perfect. I have saved it on file for when I do a living room makeover next year!
I am with Nicole, I just love grey. Mimi x
Oh, the Georgetown home is speaking to me! Love the light and the painting. I need to find a copy of this magazine asap! Janell
This is one of my favorite shelter mags too! Love it!
All great images. I love the black lamp in the second image. Kind of chunky but, elegant at the same time!

I've not picked my copy up yet. Wow, now I will!
Sold! I love the new look!!!
Hi there
I'm eyeballing the center pillow on the sofa in the last photo..........Nice!
Best.........Kathi
Beautiful projects, especially that library. I loved this issue!
I think we're all in agreement - just FABULOUS!!! I hope she is on a roll that continues!!
The sofa in the last picture is gorgeous. I'm going to have to trudge out to my mailbox in the drizzle and see if I can find who made it. I posted about the Howard's knock out "shop" in Charlotte last July. It is unbelievable.
Best,
Liz

i love how it was totally in keeping with the classic veranda vision, yet also updated and fresh. i've never subscribed because veranda just wasn't my thing, but i might have to now.
