Today I’m co-hosting the “Inspiration Exchange” party with some of my favorite blogging friends! Each week they showcase their projects and then let others link up their projects to the monthly party. Here’s what was shared in September … be sure to link up what you’ve been doing! Before we get this party started come check…
Fall isn’t just the season of turning leaves and warming bonfires. In my book it’s the season of baking! It’s too hot to bake in the summer so when Autumn rolls around I’m ready to fire up the oven and get busy in the kitchen. Today I’m joining 9 of my dear blogging friends to…
Did you know today is National Noodle Day? To celebrate, I’m joining several bloggers to give you a tasty round of recipes featuring the versatile noodle! I chose to make Fettuccine with Artichoke Hearts and Tomatoes, which I hope you’ll love as much as I do. You’ll find the recipe below. For even more yummy…
You’re in for a special treat today, because we’re touring the country farmhouse of Anita at Cedar Hill Farmhouse in Texas. I love this ranch style home not only for its pretty decor, but because of the amazing views it enjoys. Anita also has a city house but we’re saving that tour for another day….
Sometimes in life, the simplest things are the best. I like uncomplicated days filled with beauty. Days that make me smile and fill me with peace. Flowers help me de-stress, and a simple sunflower arrangement helps to brighten any day. Sunflowers hold a special beauty all their own. I don’t like to detract from their…
The days are cooler, the nights are longer, and the pumpkins are spilling over each other in the local farmer’s pumpkin patch. Mmmm. I love the flavor of pumpkin and soon I’ll be sharing my favorite pumpkin pie recipe with all of you (that you make from a fresh pumpkin and not from a can…
Do you have a home design element that you absolutely love? Maybe it’s fireplaces or garden tubs. For me, it’s stairways! I don’t know why, but I’ve always had a thing for beautiful staircases. So today I thought I’d share a collection of stairway design ideas that I found on Houzz. Traditional Staircase by Cambridge…
I don’t consider myself much of an artist but I do like to tinker with creating pretty things. At least, I hope they’ll be pretty when I’m finished with them. Today I’m sharing an easy DIY botanic print art project. Earlier this month at our local flea market I ran across this beautiful botanic artichoke print…
Have you ever created a thrift store makeover from some little trinket you found at Goodwill or Thrift Savers? Have you ever had someone send you a flea market find to creatively re-purpose? Well, that’s exactly what a group of us bloggers did, thanks to a “Swap it Like It’s Hot” challenge from Charlotte at Ciburbanity….
This is the last Sunday in September and I can’t believe how quickly this year is coming to a close! I also can’t believe I’ve been featuring my Charming Home Series for 6 months now. Seems like it started just yesterday. Today’s tour is a fun one (aren’t they all?) as I’m featuring Angela from…
Welcome to my early Fall home tour! Since it’s still September, I’m transitioning into Fall decorating. I plan to add more autumn inspiration to my home throughout October so I hope you’ll come back and visit if this is your first time here! So come on in … I’m so glad to have you here!!…
The days are shortening and the nights are cooler. It’s not quite cold enough to turn the heat on, but the warmth of a fireplace sure would be enjoyable. For today’s Humpdays with Houzz, I’m featuring a collection of 10 fabulous fireplace ideas. Let me know which one you would choose for your house! Eclectic Living…
Today is the first day of Autumn and I hope you’ll join me in celebrating Fall all this week. Today officially starts a week-long tour of over 30 blogger homes decorated for Fall. My home tour is on Friday and at the end of this post you’ll find the line-up for today’s tours. Then tomorrow I’m…
Today’s charming home tour has loads of vintage appeal and I always enjoying visiting Melissa’s blog over at Daisy Mae Belle (unfortunately, Melissa is no longer blogging). I’m sure many of you are familiar with her talent and style, but it’s always fun to take another look, isn’t it? So without further ado, let’s step…
Fall isn’t officially here for a couple more days but I think it’s safe to say that autumn has arrived in Illinois. Today was sunny and near 70 degrees. The perfect day! I just got back from a couple days in Vegas … a business trip so no secrets to share! It was 97 degrees…
Hallways can be a real challenge to decorate. If they’re narrow (like mine) there’s not much you can do with them. If they’re dotted with doors, you’re limited in what you can hang on the wall. Today I’ve collected 10 hallway decorating ideas from Houzz. Farmhouse Hall by Acton Home Builders KISTLER & KNAPP BUILDERS…
