Tonic Living Featured in Country Living Magazine's February/March 2026 Issue



Tonic Living is delighted to be featured in the February/March 2026 issue of Country Living Magazine in the editorial story “A Warm New Welcome” written by Kelly Ryan Kegans. The article spotlights designer Marynn Udvarhelyi of Wildflower Home Interiors, who renovated her stepfather’s 1954 Colonial-style ranch in East Texas. Blending East Coast and New England influences with Texas approachability, Marynn created a home that feels sentimental, collected, and beautifully refreshed for modern living.


Marynn's thoughtful use of antiques, fine furniture, layered home decor fabrics, and coastal-inspired details reflects the charm of New England cottage style and traditional American interiors. The feature also nods to coastal cottage decor and Nantucket style interior design, highlighting the impact of quality upholstery fabrics in creating warm, character-rich spaces.

A Handsome, Heritage-Inspired Upholstery Moment

Country Living Magazine featuring Tonic Living's Lundie Plaid upholstery fabric

A standout detail in the feature is Marynn’s use of Tonic Living’s Lundie Plaid Fabric in Camel to recover a pair of vintage chairs finished with pleated skirts. This wool-blend multipurpose fabric introduces an understated plaid pattern, rich camel colour, and an elegant British sensibility. Accented with fine blue and chocolate-brown lines and a subtle herringbone texture, it adds depth and durability, making it an excellent wool upholstery fabric and traditional upholstery fabric for vintage reupholstery projects and other well-loved pieces.
