Hi.
We’re Kevin and Layla Palmer. We like to take road trips, and chances, and photos of people’s places.
Late last Summer, we started putting some of our photos together in our own own little e-zine, and we’re so excited to finally release it here on our blog today! It’s short, but sweet, and we really hope you have fun flipping through it!
Click on the cover below to view the full-size, interactive issue in a separate window…
But before you click away! We both wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to check it out, and for continually inspiring us to jump in our car with our computer and our camera. We appreciate your encouragement, and can’t tell you how much we enjoy exchanging inspiration and ideas with you!
Happy May!
PS- The links in the e-zine are live this time, so as you flip through, you can click on any of the web addresses you see. Also, to the folks have asked about hard copies- if you’re interested in printing out a copy of either of our e-zine (Summer Fun or Screened Inn) there is a print option in the top left hand corner of the screen when you’re viewing the full-size issue. Thanks again!
I love your e-zines! They are bright, colorful and beautiful.
I featured your blog today at stylesson.com.
I love your ezines! There is so much value there.
Woo hoo! What a happy Tuesday morning treat! Looking forward to snuggling up with my Mac for some fun ezine time today.
Layla and Kevin… just breezed through your new e-zine. Beautiful! As a graphic designer, I love when I can see your personality through what you design in print. Can’t wait till I get home from work and can read it cover to cover. Kudos on getting a brief interview with Robert Novgratz!!
Whoa! Wonderful and so inspirational. Layla and Kev, WELL DONE!
Great work you two! So many lovely re-dos and everything looks so fresh.
Even though it is pouring down rain here in NE Ohio (why do I live here? Oh yeah, must be my little granddaughter) and chilly looking through your e-zine gives me hope that there might be a summer day coming along!!
love every page
I loved this so much! It was like a Martha Stewart Living with items I can actually afford. By the time I was done reading, I felt like the changes I want to make in our own home are manageable, but without the guilt you get from most magazines. So very relaxing!
You’re so talented AND you get to hang with Mary E!?! Lucky!
wow! you two are so talented! thanks for sharing. i feel like i need to rent a cottage on tybee island now. i’m clearly missing out!
Hi Layla and Kevin: I live in a little city in Basque Country, north of Spain. I check your blog everyday and I cant tell you how much I love your ideas and pictures, and how inspiring are for me. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
I just adore the e-zine. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful tips. Very inspiring.
I enjoyed flipping through the e-zine! You are both so talented and too darn cute! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous! Great job.
What a fantastic job!!! I really enjoy your hard work. Thanks!!!!!!
awesome! love it!
I LOVE every single page!
Wow – my first time checking out your magic here! Still processing all the beautiful amazing creations and people and photos. You two are so cute and talented. Can’t wait to see what you do next. And I’ve been to Tybee Island – love it (I live in North Carolina and if you ever want to take a road trip here let me know. Some pretty great places here!)
Love the magazine……and am inspired to visit Tybee Island!!
Loved loved loved it. The pictures are fantastic. The content is great as always. You have done yourselves proud.
What a beautiful e-zine! I loved reading the article by Deborah McCarthy, and I often think about many of the things she mentioned… wondering how many people have woken up in my home over the years, how much they loved it, and how many families will be there after I am gone. I suppose we are all just care takers to history!
Love her article too. Really made me think…and smile!
I sat down with my cup of piping hot tea and had the best hour with Summer Fun.
I get so taken away to another world of beauty and love for decorating and a passion
for doing it all for less.
I use to think I was alone all these years loving to paint and repaint, move & arrange furniture
till I dropped and woke in the night with an idea for a morning redo.
You have both given me so much joy in following your blog, your life and now your magazines.
I am so loving each page and would love a giant size one like the Coastal Living a get.
You are destined to have your own copy in Barns and Noble one day soon.
Many Thank You’s. geri.
Your sweet comments always make me smile. 🙂 Thank you for the kind words!
Beautiful!! Wish it could be weekly!! I LOVE your look so much, you talented duo!
Really made my day – I have a “high smile”!
Love from Oz X
I love the e-zine! So fresh and Spring-y! You guys are awesome! 🙂 ~Aimee
I also love the cabinet makeovers. Now if only the landlord would let us do it! Sorry to throw this in, but since I know hundreds of people will be reading your e-zine, i have to let you know that there is a typo on page 25. “Your” should be “You’re.”
Hey Tiffany!
Yeah, I saw that. Oopsie. <:-) I figured a few of them would sneak through! LOL!
You’ve outdone yourself again, Layla! Beautiful pages with so many interesting nooks and crannies to explore.
This is better than any magazine that has arrived in my mailbox for months! I loved every page of it. Thanks for all the fresh inspiration! 🙂
Great read packed with inspiration. I can’t believe you do this for everyone to read for free. Amazing!
Absolutely fabulous. The photography is amazing. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas….. in the e-zine and on your blog. Can I pick a favourite article?…. um… no, I love all of them.
Keep those great ideas coming. I can’t wait for the next edition.
This is fabulous!!! My hubby and I are still swooning over it’s pages!! One of the projects inside inspired me to make a little something something for my daughter. I linked back to you, of course!! Thanks so much for all your great inspiration! 🙂

loved it! Your ezine was awesome…I’m selling my house and buying a cottage in Tybee Island! oh, don’t I wish. Your fabulous pictures are inspiring. Great job!
Wow! Fabulous job Layla and Kevin! Each page was beautifully developed and filled with fun and fresh ideas. Thanks for sharing your wonderful project.
I checked out the zine and this site for the first time today. All I can say is WOW! Love at first site. Thank you.
Layla and Kev,
I’m a huuuuuuuuge TLC fan! I love your work! I view your site from my iPad, because of this I can’t view the ezine. 🙁 :(. Do you have another way to see it?
Thanks!
Hey Lindsey,
Unfortunately the files are too big to create PDF version with. So sorry about that! 🙁
I enjoyed your e-zine very much! Loved all the bright colors, not to mention your talent and creativity. You are always so inspiring, you continually demonstrate that anything is possible with a little hard work and dedication. You can tell you enjoy what you do. Thanks for sharing with all of us. 🙂
Layla!
Your e-zines are always such a treat. SO beautiful! I loved the content & was happy to see Maria (Dreamy Whites) in there! How awesome is that, “Cat’s are just tiny woman…” sign. Ha! So true. I read your most recent post too but will comment here. That conch shell border is such a clever idea and those night shots are just as dreamy as the daylight ones.
the e zine is fantastic! it’s beautiful, every page.
Layla,
I loved the e-zine. Would you be able to share with us the software you used to create it? THANKS! It is lovely to turn pages. You did a beautiful job.
Sure thing Annie! I used Photoshop to create it and Kev put it together over at Yudu.com. 🙂
I love Your e-zine and blog. It is such an inspiration. We close on a 1910 craftsman bungalow house in Danville, ky at the end of the month and I cant wait to ask you all for ideas. You guys are great at what you do! Thank you.
This is beautiful! Inspiring. I know I’m going to go back and reread this until it’s worn out on the edges-oh wait! Another benefit of an ezine!!! 😉 Great job!
HOW FUN!! I love it. excellent job! I have a crafty blog at http://www.apronsandapples.blogspot.com I am sure I will be linking up soon to showcase some of your awesome stuff! Excellent work. I found you from a link in centsationals girls blog. Thanks for your work! Kristy
This is absolutely amazing. You guys are really talented. I loved this issue…all of it. And, your pics put us, the readers, right on-site. Excellent work. I love it! I just subscribed.
Oh, this is awesome. I live in Atlanta and have a daughter attending SCAD in Savannah. We have stayed on Tybee once in a condo, but now I want to stay in one of the cottages! So cool. Love your photography and the ezine is WONDERFUL. I just subscribed.
I found this quite by accident and wow! was I surprised when it contained one of my favorite places in the world-Tybee and Savannah! I lived in Atlanta as a nanny for 3 yrs and visited the area probably 12 times during the course. I was even accepted to SCAD and looked at Real Estate in the area. Being a single mom, I wasn’t brave enough to stay so I returned home to Indiana to study art. My fondest, favorite memories of times with my young son are from days spent in Chatham county. He is now 19. Thanks so much! I am a subscriber now.
That was the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time! Thanks for your eZine, I absolutely love it!!! It’s the first one I’ve ever seen, and now I’m hooked.
Hi Been following your blog for a long time now and have been inspired so many times and your eZine was no different. Thank you soooo much. Absolutely wonderful
Well, I love mags and I really love your eZine. What a team. Wish there was a button to grab of it. Do you think that will ever be possible?
I just “thumbed” through your ezine…loved it!!! What great ideas and beautiful pictures! Thank you…
Love it…love it…love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I love your blog and your style and can’t wait to view the e-zine for some inspiration on redoing my home…but, it won’t open for me (screened in won’t either). I can load the page when click on the title but nothing happens…I know you aren’t IT people…but any advice on how I can see it? (I am on a PC running Windows).
Thanks!
Hey Tracy!
Are you clicking the arrow buttons at the top of the screen so that the pages turn? You can do that, or just click the bottom right corner of each page and they’ll turn that way too.
🙂
