Welcome to the first edition of Celebrations at Home! The second Sunday of each month I’m joining fellow bloggers to bring you a special celebration of home decor, crafts, or food. Today’s offering is something quick and simple that anyone can do. I think most of us are busy this time of year … getting…
Don’t you hate when you have something specific in mind for a room you’re decorating and when you get to the store, you can’t find anything remotely close to your beautiful vision? In your head you’ve concocted this beautiful room that you can’t wait to create … but then nothing at your favorite home decor…
Happy Labor Day, Everyone!! I hope that you take time to relax and unwind today. To help you enjoy the holiday, I’ve teamed up with 22 other bloggers to bring you a variety of free Fall printables that you can download in your home. My Fall printable is a quote from John Baily about falling…
Seems like every Sunday I start off by saying, “Have I got a gorgeous home tour for you today!” But I truly feel that way. I’ve been featuring charming homes for over a year now and I don’t think I’ve even begun to scratch the surface in showcasing beautiful blogger homes … there are just…
I don’t know what the weather’s like in your corner of the world, but here in Chicagoland we’re havin’ a heat wave! The sun is beating down with low 90’s temperatures and plenty of humidity. So it’s time to bring out the ice cream maker again and cool off with homemade chocolate ice cream topped…
Farmhouse style is my favorite home decor because it’s so practical and pretty. This fall and winter I’ve decided to add more farmhouse elements to our home … mostly in the form of farm animals. As I was unsuccessfully combing the store for farm-y wall decor, I spied a couple of decorative Kraft paper bags…
Have I got a treat for you today! I’m thrilled to show you the beautiful home of Rachel from Shades of Blue Interiors. Not only is Rachel super talented when it comes to home decor and painting furniture, but she’s funny and caring and I absolutely love her bubbly spirit! You might remember seeing this…
Apples. Beautiful apples! They look pretty as home decor, and I think they’re absolutely the best fruit to cook with! Maybe I should confess that I really don’t like cooked fruit, and about the only fruit pie I’ll eat is apple pie. I do like peach cobbler however. Today is Farmhouse Friday and we’re celebrating…
A house is a very personal thing. It’s where we build memories and it’s often a respite from the world. Many of us try to create both comfortable and beautiful surroundings in our home, to help us relax and lift our spirits. We all have our personal preferences when it comes to colors and finishes…
It’s late August and I’m no where near ready to usher in Fall, but I do love mums and autumn flowers so I had to bring just a few touches of Fall decor into my farmhouse kitchen. I love late summer as it transitions into the next season. Our vegetable garden is ready to harvest…
Sunday is my favorite blogging day of the week because I get to feature the beautiful homes of my fellow bloggers. Since so many of you tell me you love these tours, I plan to keep doing them for a while. Today’s charming home tour is filled with oodles of style and strategic accents of…
Do you like mason jars? You know … for crafting, canning, arranging flowers in? I’m guessing that if you read my blog regularly, you’re a mason jar lover like me! Today I’m super excited to give away a copy of the Mason Jar Crafts for Kids book on my blog because it’s authored by friend and…
According to the dictionary, a living room is a room in the house used by family for leisure activities or entertaining guests. But growing up, our living room was a formal area where we weren’t allowed to go. The only time I remember using that room at all was on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Today,…
Over the years I find that I’m getting pickier when it comes to scouring our local flea market. I’m not really sure why that is, but our monthly jaunt to the market is resulting in me spending less money … which is a good thing. But during a recent treasure hunting episode, a dark farmhouse…
Kids are returning back to school this month and I see lots of moms at the stores stocking up on school supplies. There’s always a bit of chaos when schedules change from the lazy days of summer to the focused days of Fall. Seems like when the weather gets cooler it’s easier to get back…
Are you looking for an easy-to-grow plant because your thumb is … well … not so green? Look no further! Air plants are the easiest green thing to grow and require very little care. Also known as Tillandsia, they do not thrive on air alone. You’ll need to water them from time to time. I love these…
