Over the years of decorating several homes I’ve lived in, I never really thought of myself as having an affinity for farm style. I just know I like quirky old houses and vintage finds. Since living in my current home, where the streets of town meet the country roads, I find myself drawn more and more to farm…
I’ve wanted to make a pom pom garland for quite a while now and you’ve probably seen a tutorial or two for these. I’ve read a few myself but ended up tweaking the tutorials after practicing to make it just a wee bit easier to do … ’cause I’m all about easy. After I took my…

Happy New Year!! Hopefully you didn’t party too much last night. During my 2014 Christmas home tour I shared my new white sectional, but I didn’t share much of the background story with you. For months I had been thinking about getting a new sectional. When it comes to furniture, I’m always shy to pull…
One of my good friends is a huge fan of eggplant, which leaves me completely baffled. I’ve had Eggplant Parmesan a couple times and am just not a fan. I got to thinking maybe it isn’t the eggplant itself that I don’t like … maybe I just don’t like it breaded and fried. So I…
The other day I saw a canvas bag that said “Farm Market” on it and I thought … why not create a similar bag for my monthly trips to our local flea market? The vendors always put your items into plastic grocery bags and I’m always afraid they’re going to rip while shopping. A canvas bag…
As 2014 draws to a close I’m taking a look back at the year and sharing my 10 favorite blog posts. As a blogger, sometimes it’s easy to come up with ideas to share, and other times I’m wracking my brain for inspiration. Blogging is a lot of work … you first need the ideas…
One thing I really miss during the winter is the color green. The bare leafless trees start to look forlorn and I miss the shades of lush green grass. The outside world begins to look monochromatic during winter and since I can’t add color outside, I can bring the greenery indoors. I found some indoor…
One of my dreams is to take my family to spend Christmas in Galena, Illinois for the Christmas holiday. It’s a quaint, historic tourist spot just 2 hours away and probably has more Bed and Breakfast homes than any other place in the U.S. It’s popular for antiques shopping and was home to Ulysses S. Grant. I’ve…

With the holidays around the corner and Old Man Winter approaching, I thought it would be fun to tackle another candle project. I love candles any time of year, but I especially love them when the days are shorter and darker. They make the house feel warm and cozy. Today I’m sharing how to make…
When you take a tour of Lauren’s house from The Endearing Home, you’re going to feel like you’re looking at the pages of a magazine. Her charming home is impeccably decorated and everything flows together so beautifully. It has a very comfortable, homey feel to it, too. Ready to take a look? The fireplace takes…
Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I’m definitely not a winter person. I like butterflies and warm breezes with the sun on my face. But when it comes to Christmas, it might as well snow so you get the full, magical effect of the holiday season. The forecast isn’t showing much hope for Christmas snow…
Christmas is just one week away! Although I’ve been busy decorating and shopping, I never forget the true meaning of Christmas and the celebration of Christ’s birth … God’s greatest gift to the world! I like to think the creative expression of decorating is a reflection of God’s creative nature. After all, if we’re made…
