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…

Perhaps the best scenario is to create the ultimate indoor porch where you can still throw open the windows but keep the pests at bay with screens. See today’s collection and get ideas for creating a cozy…
Our garden is bursting with colorful flowers and ripening vegetables and I couldn’t be happier. I love this time of year and sometimes I enjoy simply standing in the garden watching the butterflies and inhaling the smell of the nearby tomato plants. I’m taking photos of my flower beds this weekend and will share them soon….
Having arrived home from England on Saturday evening left me little time to enjoy the weekend. But I managed to deadhead all the fading flowers and worked around the pond a bit to clean things up. We had a tornado come through town while I was gone and fortunately, none of our trees were knocked…
Yesterday I arrived back home after an amazing week-long trip to England. This was my first vacation across the pond and as expected, I fell in love with the beauty and history of the land. I did not fall in love with driving on the crazy roads! But that was a mere blip in the…

I’m not sure when my love of painted floors began, but I think it had something to do with my grandmother’s squeaky clean basement floors that she painted battleship gray. Her basement was hands down, the cleanest basement I’ve ever seen. There wasn’t a spiderweb in sight, no stacked boxes of stored stuff, and had…

This cozy corner features dark bamboo blinds, white trim, and a…
As I write this, I’m sitting in the Airbnb we rented in Windsor. Yes, I’m blogging while on vacation! I’m filling a bit of time before we head out for dinner. Tomorrow we travel to the Cotswold area and then it’s on to a waterlily and water gardening symposium for work. I’m combining pleasure and…

Lately I’ve been thinking about our living room. For months I have wanted to change the paint color, and for some reason, I can’t make up my mind. Nothing is hitting me and saying “I’m your color!” To help with inspiration, I thought I’d share living rooms with beautiful style. Each one is unique (some…
