Despite our cooler temps this past weekend, we’ve still got at least one more month of summer-like weather, possibly longer. I’m always a little slow to the starting line when it comes to fall decorating due to my love of summer. But today’s Style Showcase has a bit of both summer and fall. Town and…
Today I reveal my favorite Cotswold village of those that we visited during our recent trip to England. We only had time for three of the countryside towns and didn’t get to see Castle Combe, which I think would’ve been my favorite overall. Bourton-on-the-Water was my favorite of the day and is a unique little…
Temperatures cooled down this weekend and made things feel like fall outside. I’m not ready to let go of summer by any means, but the cooler weather put me in a mood for some cozy vibes. So today I’m showcasing a wonderful modern cabin by Design Shop Interiors that embraces rusticity with sleek design. The…
The summer porch. Those words conjure an image of a Norman Rockwell painting or a scene from the Andy Griffith show with Aunt Bea serving lemonade on the porch while Andy would strum his guitar. Before the days of air conditioning, an outdoor porch was the place to be to cool off from the heat…

This past Saturday and Sunday were dirty days for me. Meaning – I spent a good chunk of time out in the garden moving plants and pulling weeds. It’s exhausting and therapeutic all at once. Although I have a few minor sore muscles today, I feel more invigorated than had I sat on the couch…
My favorite place at home during the summer is my backyard koi pond. It’s truly the ultimate oasis and I consider myself very lucky to enjoy its beauty and tranquility all season long. Its existence is simply magical and when I need to de-stress and relax, I venture out to the pond. If you’ve…

Are you ready to explore the second Cotswold village that my daughter and I visited during our trip to England? Stow-on-the-Wold is a market town filled with quaint shops and charming cottages. It doesn’t have the same winding, hilly streets as Bibury but it’s still loaded with charm and history. In case you’re wondering,…
August is here and summer is still going strong here in Illinois. I want to make the most of the remaining warm days so tomorrow we’re visiting the Anderson Japanese Garden in Rockford. I’ve never been, but it looks intriguing. I’ve always been a fan of Asian culture and gardens ever since I read The…

Every house that I’ve ever owned (just three, for the record) has been adorned with flower boxes. I’ve always loved flowers at the window and have had to create the boxes at each home so I could plant them. I put impatiens and some type of vine at the shady locations, and geraniums in the…

It’s been a week since I returned home from England but the magic of the trip hasn’t left me. The Cotswold area was one of the main things I wanted to see while there, but we only had a day to explore the area. We didn’t get to all of the most visited villages, but…
