A Remarkable Guest Cottage, Your Wallpaper Style, and More: Friday Finds
Football pre-season games have started, kids are back at school, and days are getting slightly shorter. This is a favorite time of year for most people as summer’s heat begins to fade to cooler breezes. Our summer has been so humid this year that I won’t be that sad to see it go. I may change my mind and mourn the loss of summer once winter rolls around, however.
Changing subjects – are you ready for this week’s Friday Finds? There’s always so much inspiration from which to choose. See what’s in store today!
Here’s a highly charming guest cottage with fabulous windows that open to the outdoor living spaces. When it comes to a small home, it doesn’t get much better than this!
Want to find out what wallpaper style is best for you? Take this fun wallpaper quiz from Flower Magazine. It only takes a few minutes, and I found it to be fairly spot on. My wallpaper style is the nature lover.
Melissa at The Inspired Room shares updates to her “snug” and I have to say – I’m in love with her scalloped gingham daybed! The room is small but charmingly perfect in every way.
Have you ever wondered what the prettiest town in your state is? Architectural Digest compiled a list of the 50 prettiest towns across the USA. See if you agree with the one they chose for your state. I wasn’t at all surprised at which town made the list for Illinois – our family heads there every Christmas!
Finally, you’ll be amazed at the easy transformation this 1980s kitchen received. The cabinet color is quickly becoming a popular choice in kitchen makeovers. See what you think of it!
What are your weekend plans? I’m watching three of my grandsons tomorrow and plan to take them to a movie since it’s going to be a rainy day. Also, on my to-do list is taking photos of my kitchen and my living room to share on the blog in the near future. I finally hung the last of the artwork up on the walls in my living room.
Wow! I love the 1980’s kitchen makeover. The floor is so unique and looks perfect with all the other updates!
I am so glad we are going to get to see some rooms in your house, I always love to see your home and how you decorate it. That 1980’s kitchen was a great update, looks so nice. Have fun with those grandchildren.
Sorry, but Ithaca NY doesn’t hold a candle to the towns on the East End of Long Island–East Hampton, Montauk, Sag Harbor, Bridgehampton and Southampton! Quaint towns and some of the most fabulous beaches in the world!!!
Loved the kitchen makeover and I’m really excited about the upcoming blog with your kitchen and living room! Also, I feel like Diana concerning MY HOMETOWN of Ocala, FL. With our unique rolling hills of oaks and tall palm trees, gorgeous horse farms and one of the largest fresh water springs in the world, there’s a reason folks are flocking here from all over the USA!
