My house is a disaster these days! Boxes of Christmas stuff are stacked in the living room and I feel like everything is in disarray. We recently purchased a new sectional (more on that later) which led to rearranging the family room … which led to moving stuff around in the living … which led…
If you like creating your own decor projects you’re going to love the collection of free printables compiled by a fantastic group of bloggers! Today I’m sharing my own free printable that I used in a Christmas mantel vignette, and at the end of this post you’ll find links to many more printables created by…
If you have never brined a turkey, I highly encourage you to try it! I started brining my Thanksgiving turkeys about 3 or 4 years ago and I’ll never go back. You’ll have a better tasting and moister turkey and your family will love you for it. So just in time for Thanksgiving, I’m here…
Today I have a very special charming home tour for you (do I say that every Sunday?). Alice of Thoughts from Alice is someone I’m quite fond of even though we’ve never met face-to-face. She truly has a sweet, loving spirit and I love her artistic style. I also love her home, which is a…
Christmas. It’s consuming my brain lately and this weekend I’m ready to deck the halls and get it out of my system. I want to do things a little different this year and turned to Houzz for some inspiration. Since I shared my Christmas Mantel on Wednesday this week, I didn’t do my normal Humpdays…
When I think of Christmas, I think of glitter and sparkle … the way pure white snow sparkles in the sun. I love color at Christmas, including silver and gold. I found some beautiful, blingy holiday pieces to create a vintage Christmas mantel. I’m sharing my holiday mantel today along with some of my blogging friends….
At Thanksgiving I typically gravitate toward traditional or farmhouse style table decor, but when Bormioli Rocco Glass Company approached me about creating a tablescape with their gorgeous Italian dinnerware, I opted for a modern country table setting. And I’m excited to share that they’re offering $200 worth of their exquisite tableware to one of my blog readers!…
They say Christmas is for kids, but I still love Christmas. With each passing year I’m drawn more and more to the nostalgia of Christmas past. Memories of childhood Christmases haunt me and I find myself wanting to recreate that magical experience. So it’s no surprise that this year I’m dreaming of a vintage Christmas….
Last Sunday I took a break from the Charming Home Series in order to participate in the Thanksgiving blog hop with some of my friends. Today I’m happy to be back at the home tour series and you’re going to love today’s tour! Karen from Karen’s Up on the Hill has only been blogging for 4…
One thing I love about this time of year is that bloggers get together more often to showcase loads of inspiration. From home decor to recipes to table settings and more. Today I’m joining some fabulous bloggers for Thanksgiving table settings. A special thanks to Bre at Rooms for Rent for putting this blog hop together!…
I love natural textiles like linen and cotton, and when those textiles are woven with a European flair, all the better! My newest sponsor, The French Elements, shares a variety of French inspired decor on her website. Intricate embroidery carefully woven onto French linen fabrics and more. It’s all quite dreamy. Take a look … Barb…
Last week it was 75 degrees on Monday and by Friday morning the snow was flying! It didn’t fly for very long but it reminded me that crisp days are ahead and it’s time to bring on the blankets! Blankets make any room feel cozier but who says they have to be relegated to a…
Omigoodness it seemed like forever before hubby and I would ever finish painting our clapboard farmhouse! We started the project toward the end of July and finally brushed the last bit of paint on her the weekend before Halloween … just before it got cold. Hubby predicted it would take 3 months and he was…
Why does Christmas feel so magical when you get out the decorations and turn your house into some “other world” filled with sparkle and charm? Christmas allows you to bring a little fantasy in your home, and the mood I like to create is a vintage style Christmas that evokes holidays gone past. A vintage…
Today I’m part of a Thanksgiving hop with several other bloggers to kick off the month of November. So if you’re here for the Charming Home Series, it will be back in full swing next Sunday. But for now, I hope you’ll stay and enjoy this recipe for Turkey Stuffing Dumpling Soup, and then go…
One of my favorite decorating staples is vintage painted furniture. I’ve been painting furniture for years, but it wasn’t until a couple years ago that I found out about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, thanks to several blogs that I’d been reading. Chalk Paint is a dream to use and is my favorite choice for painting…
