I remember the first time I heard the word “love seat.” I was about 5 years old and I thought it was something my parents would squeeze into so they could kiss. They had recently sold a love seat to an antique store and this is when I learned my mother hated antiques. Still, the…
Whenever someone asks me what my favorite room is, I always say it’s the kitchen. Not just for the way it’s decorated, but for what it means on a daily basis. The kitchen is where you provide nourishment for your family. It’s where loved ones come together during the holidays and special gatherings. And of…

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.
