Behind the Curtain…
February 15, 2010
Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend! I’ve been insanely busy with the launch of my shop (thank you for all your support), but am happy to be throwing myself back into blogging this week! We’re taking a break from the Plucky Pioneer series today, but not to fret—we already have someone fantastic lined up for next Monday. In the meantime, Fallon over at A Lovely Being will be posting an interview later this afternoon with yours truly for her new “Behind the Curtain” series. Thank you Fallon for asking me to be your first guest—what an honor!
Above, me trying not to laugh holding our big, goofy sack of potatoes.
P.S. I found some amazing pieces this weekend and will be adding to the shop every day this week! Stay tuned! XO

Thanks Haydee! I’m so excited for everyone to make their way to Fallon’s blog—she’s incredibly awesome. Hope you had a great weekend as well! XO

Look how insanely cute!!! I love this photo and can’t wait to read your interview! (By the way, that brass rhino behind you is fantastic – are you selling that?? Dibs if you are!) xoxo
-
Thank you Amanda! Unfortunately, the brass rhino will not be going on sale. I bought it before I launched the shop and enforced my “no keeping anything for myself” policy…so thankfully for my bookshelf it stays. I’ll just have to try and find another one for you : ) XOXO
-
You look so lovely! And Alfred too- although I think my favorite is that photo of him on the chair a few posts ago :)
I just saw the post about the painted staircases and that is going in my Dream Home folder right away! Totally Brilliant- I would choose those over a runner any day!!! Thanks a million for that post- I have somehow missed that whole idea and now I can’t imagine my future home without it!! -
p.s. I see you have Sense and Sensibility on your shelf- I’m dying to get that edition but I’ll have to wait until I get home. By some magic they do sell it here, but the price is crazy!!!
-
My Fav + Best—-Awww shucks!
Stevi — You should get a puggie! They’re the best.
Lindsay — Aren’t the painted stairs amazing? I’m obsessed. You must do it in your future home. And yes on picking up a copy of Sense + Sensibility when you get home! I think I may have to watch the movie version tonight…hmmmm… -
You two are just adorable! Can you come style my bookshelf to look as amazing as yours?! xx
-
Starfish — I would love to come help you style your bookshelves! We’ll make it happen : ) XO

Hello NT:
Marvelous photo, so lovely you are. I am going to be posting a three part series on my pug, Pompey, shortly. Called the Pompey Chronicles. Do stop in from time to time as I think you may enjoy it.
Best, Reggie -
Reggie — A three part series on your pug?! I cannot wait!!! Thank you for thinking of me! XO
-
What a cute pic!! I love the brass rhino on your bookshelf! I can’t wait to get my pineapple!
-
So fun to finally see what you look like! Can’t wait to read the interview and see what’s new at Katie Armour Home!

Hi Heather! John took a bunch of shots of Alfie and me this weekend so I would have something recent for Fallon to post with her interview. It was our own little photo shoot at home—so ridiculous and funny. Thanks for stopping by! XO

Kate- You are lovely inside, what’s outside is just a reflection of that! (The photo is great! ) I am so happy for your success! I feel inspired to do something creative and ambitious! (Reminder that your future sister-in law turns ‘sweet sixteen’ this Thursday! She will be spending her birthday playing in the band at Tournament- I am chaperoning!- Hours on a schoolbus with potholes, teenagers and Lady GaGa, just IMAGINE…Be sure to ask John all about it, he went several years…a total trumpet geek!) The daily quotes are my favorite part of your blog…LOVELOVE, Mum
-
Can’t WAIT to read the interview!! Will be on the look-out! Gorgeous photo of you and the little one!
-
Mary you just made my day! Visions of a geeky, young John on the bus with his trumpet. I’m dying laughing. I just read your comment aloud to him and he couldn’t help but laugh as well. Hope you’re staying warm up there! XOXO

What a beautiful photo of you and your lil bundle of love! LOVELY!!
-
Oh my! You are as adorable and pretty as I would imagine someone with this lovely blog and etsy shop to be! And your sweet pup…tdf! Love having a face to put with all this loveliness! Will be reading her interview for sure.
-
Oh my gosh! it’s so great to put a face to the name! I’ve been trying very hard to hold off on purchasing decor for my place until we move in may, but I might have to give in and purchase some things from your shop early!
ps. Thank you so much for voting for Tyler and I. it means so much to us!
-
I finally got to read your interview and it was so great Kate! Love your experiences and that we get to share in them via your blog and interviews like Fallon’s. It was great to get a little peak of your other half, John, as well. Is that a tattoo I see on his arm? Your evening spent in Paris with Suzanne sounds amazing! What a night!
-
Haydee—-You make me laugh! I was wondering if anyone would notice the tattoos—he’s covered in them! John is what one might call a reformed bad boy, but we’ll save those stories for another day… I’m such a big baby I could never get a tattoo—I suppose what they say is true, opposites attract! Thanks for reading it all! XOXO

LOVED the interview – fantastic! I have family in Morgantown (my nephew graduated from WVU – that makes me sound so old, he’s my hubby’s older sister’s kid) We used to live in Cumberland, MD a few years ago for my hubby’s job. It’s really beautiful there.
What a great photo! Can’t wait to read your interview later. Hope you had a great weekend:)
