Mackenzie Childs

Marion -- remember our day at Mackenzie Childs? I think I should buy some of their outdoor furniture for my new patio. Whadaya think?

************ 

From 2012:

I do not know if I've ever visited a place -- a museum, a historic home, a private residence -- where EVERY SINGLE DETAIL is completely, 100%, all about one thing. At the MacKenzie Childs studio -- you will become immersed in ALL THINGS MACKENZIE CHILDS...

They have a little theater where you can watch a 20 minute film about the history of the company -- how things are made, etc...


BUT then -- if you are very, very lucky -- you'll be able to take an actual real live TOUR of the house which sits on the property. Every room is set up and decorated with MacKenzie Childs...

Of course, Marion and I could hardly wait to take that tour...

And that's where you get to see everything set up in a real house environment...how they attend to every detail is simply amazing...
I mean -- EVERY SINGLE SURFACE is decorated...

This is a "tile rug" in a small bathroom...each tile represents one year's design motif...

One of the NEW things coming out next year will be this Grandmother's Clock...

Which has an extraordinary bouquet of enameled flowers at the top!!

Marion and I took a minute to sit on the front porch. This is the picture I took...
Oh, yeah, people...it just doesn't get any better than this...

  1. What a fabulous place that is!! My favorite feature is the staircase, with that gorgeous flowered WHITE carpet! How long would that stay clean, do you think?!

    Yeah, Rita, you definitely need some of that patio furniture!! It's wonderful!
