I have known Jocie Sineaur for about ten years. Jocie owns an amazing shop in Peterborough, New Hampshire called Red Chair, which is filled with her distinctive collecting and decorating style: sophisticated but approachable, studied and well edited, distinctive and decidedly European. Jocie and I became fast friends when we met and I have purchased many, many wonderful things from her shop over the years. When it came time to shoot Flea Market Style, she and her home were a natural feature for the magazine and I was so grateful that she agreed.
Jocie's feature is a whole house tour and, as you will see in the magazine, it is a home filled with treasures, great ideas to steal and a tranquil atmosphere that is really what every homeowner desires when decorating their space. Jenny and I shot the entire home in one day (all while my dog Oscar was in the animal hospital going through crucial tests). It was an energy packed day of shooting and worrying, and I am grateful to have had such a lovely escape on a day filled with nail biting drama.
These fabulous shots of Jocie's house, though out-takes, are an idea of what you will find in her whole house feature story:
Its all in the details... a bedside table is adorned with family photos, a spectacular alabaster lamp and a plaster mirror and frame that is like a sculptural work of art:
We didn't have space to feature her kitchen this time... but here is a glimpse of all its finally appointed accoutrements:
Ironstone in this house is shapely and pristine:
A cornerstone of Jocie's design... vintage buttons, ribbons and other special fashion notions:
Organization in the bath never looked so good:
The final story, written by Linda MacDonald, is lovely... really a tribute to Jocie - who she is, and how she lives her life - and I can't wait for you to see it all in its entirety!

Beautiful post... these images have my mind rearranging and redecorating... look forward to the article
What an interesting maison. It is gorgeous, I cannot believe that she is a collector of french buttom cards. Ironically I have listed a set on my online shop this morning, along with a few other french vintage goodies.
A bientot,
Leeann
Lovely, but please let us know how Oscar is doing.....
Oscar, my Yorkshire terrier had surgery to fuse 4 discs in his neck in October. He has had a very nice recuperation and is 90% back to his old self... very happy, very mobile, very much himself and I am grateful and thankful for all the support... THANK YOU! MATTHEW MEAD
Looking forward to seeing the entire feature on this beautiful home.
Jocie's home looks fabulous - can't wait to see it in the magazine. p.s. whole house tours seem to be missing in magazines these days (it's nice to see someone's vision carried all the way through an entire house)
I am so excited over this magazine, counting off the days.
Happy for you and Oscar both.
oh so pretty - that kitchen island - come on! Can't wait to see it all!
Just beautiful! Can't wait to see more of this home when the magazine comes out!
Glad to hear your puppy has recovered from his surgery and continues to be healthy and happy!
Kat :)
so good to hear that your dog is better, hard to watch a helpless animal when they are ill. I am counting the days till your magazine comes out.
I can't wait to see the magazine! Her kitchen is so lovely, even if it's just a small peek into it. I hope you can feature the kitchen in another issue.
Thanks for such a great magazine!
LOVE these photos! I love the kitchen island and the sketch in the bathroom is great!
Hi, I have just found your blog today, I can tell I will visit your blog regularly.
I love the kitchen.

Just lovely! What a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing these "out takes" with us!
Blessings,
Stacey
serene, inviting . . .leaving me wanting more!
Oh that kitchen!
Love this simple, but oh so elegant decorating style!
I have the magazine photos cut out and saved in my idea folder of Jocie's home and shop from years ago when it was featured in Country Home magazine (I think that was the one). I am anxious to see how her style has evolved. It will be nice to see her place again. It is one of my favorites. All the best, Lori
MATTHEW MEAD SAIS,
Lori, you won't be disappointed, I promise you... the house is different but is an evoloution of the original. I can't tell you how beautiful it is and you will love her "great room" addition. If you can ever make it to her shop, it is a treasure trove of the best of the best... Matthew
35 days...I am so excited to see it. This house is awesome. I so love her style. Edited to make each piece, each collection stand out. It's a quiet picture- I am not distracted by the noise of too many tchotkes....and the kitchen- I am loving that onion basket on the cupboard.
OMG!*!*! I was just in Jocie's Shop this past Fall!!! We were visiting from Wisconsin... I hadn't been to Peterborough in quite a few years, ~ and was thrilled that RED CHAIR moved across the way to a Much Larger Space... I bought an AmAzInG Wall Cupboard ~ Nice & ChiPPy!!! I look forward to Viewing the New MaGaZiNe!*!*! Jeanine, ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!
I remember Jocie from Country Home. Oh how I miss that magazine and the HGTV show by that name with Mary Emmerling. I do hope your new magazine fills that gap. Very excited for all of you.
Oh, wow, lovely! Looking forward to the article!!
You are such a tease! I have always admired her house from past magazines and TV appearances. Someday I will make the trip to the shop, hopefully I won't drool on anything!!
I have loved Jocie's style ever since I first discovered her in several magazines, so I'm really looking forward to seeing her beautiful home again. I still have the pages bookmarked. I also can't wait to see the entire magazine!!
That kitchen island is gorgeous!

I too kept the 2001 "Country Home" article of Jocie's home. It's actually sitting right here next to my desk filed away in my inspiration notebook! And when we bought our fixer upper of a farmhouse, it was Jocie's house that I thought of as inspiration. I hope to someday stop in at her store - a friend of mine says it's absolutely lovely! Can't wait for the new magazine! Trina
I have been to her shop several times. I took a wonderful picture of the turning leaves through her back window and later did an oil painting of it. (painting was displayed in a few shows)
I think that might be the window in her old location.
Looking forward to the magazine. Loved this sneak peek at Jocie's home. The kitchen island is a favorite for me! Glad to know about the Red Chair. I'm off for a visit. . . Sarah
How beautiful, can't wait to see the full magazine spread!
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I entered Red Chair last Summer - I wanted to buy everything French and Belgian! I'll be back there this Summer with an empty suitcase this time!
Looking forward to the article and the entire magazine. Good Luck - we so need a great new decorating magazine. Country Home was fabulous and I miss it so much - I like Country Living but must admit my sub. to the UK Country Living is a favorite (perhaps because I'm from England and the articles are nostalgic!). The weight of the paper, the color and print quality also make it great - don't like skimpy paper! Also pick up Cote Sud now and then when they feature Provence homes - but my favorite French decor mag. is impossible to find here - Campagne Decoration.
Again, good luck - I'll be waiting outside Borders for the door to open on Feb. 18.
