Today’s Friday Finds includes a couple of kitchens that enjoy unique color. I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I’ve been slowly swapping out the neutrals in my home for a wider range of color and I’m loving it. Do you ever feel driven to do something and aren’t sure what’s motivating you? But…
Another change in seasons is just a couple weeks away, and with the cooling of days, it’s time to look inside your home and find a spot for the perfect cozy corner. Shorter days means more time spent inside and it’s nice to give your home a quick refresh before fall settles in. You might…
It’s been a couple weeks since I shared photos of our trip to Kennebunkport, but today I’m back to show you scenes from Kennebunk, Maine – which is the quieter side of the Kennebunk River that separates the two towns. Each has their own strengths but if you’re not from the area, it’s hard to…
September has arrived and the fall décor is coming out! Honestly though, it’s hard to get in the autumn spirit when it’s over 90 degrees outside for the fourth day in a row. Today is supposed to be the last day of this heat wave and then we’ll move on to 70-degree days. Whew! In…
Happy Labor Day, friends! Today we’re touring a fresh and airy North Carolina home by Ally Whalen Design. A pleasing mix of muted tones and rich textures make this house inviting and comfortable. Photo by Ally Whalen Design The first thing that caught my eye in the kitchen was the pair of framed cow…
The first time I traveled to South Carolina I immediately fell in love. The ambiance of live oak trees dripping in Spanish moss coupled with low salty sea breezes tugged at my heart strings. So today I’m excited to share a gorgeous low country home by Linda McDougald Design with classic southern style. Photo by…
Did you know that at one time the color pink was a preferred color for boys and blue was the choice for girls? The thought was that pink was a more vivid color and therefore more masculine. Blue was more delicate and therefore meant for girls. It wasn’t until after World War II that the…
Happy Friday and Happy Labor Day Weekend! I’m so looking forward to having an extra day off. This past week I helped my daughter with her three boys and new baby daughter. I always try to have a project or two to keep the boys entertained and was surprised to find they enjoyed our origami…
Today we’re touring a very charming Tudor style home that’s nestled on Long Island. You’ll find the interior spaces to be both comfortable and appealing to look at. I think anyone could call this house “home.” Photo by Raychel Wade Design The kitchen has an air of richness about it with the warmth of…
This time of year is always bittersweet for me. Fall is certainly full of its charms, but I hate to let go of summer. I always feel caught between my love of both seasons. Does anyone else feel that way? Or are you happy to have cooler days ahead? Today my Style Showcase friends and…
Are you ready for crisp, golden days with a wonderful palette of color everywhere you turn? Garden centers are putting out their mums and pumpkins and gourds will soon follow. I bought a few mums yesterday to replace some faded flowers out by the pond. While I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer, I’m…

I too, love a pretty scene of a landscape, whether it’s a country field and barn, or a wooded setting with water. Here’s 14 inspirational rooms that have…
A couple of things have happened in the past month. I have two new grandbabies! Henry James (my son’s second child) and Agnes Wren (my daughter’s fourth child). My daughter had three boys and desperately wanted a girl – and she finally got her wish just five days ago. I’m heading over to her house…
Let’s take a virtual trip to Barcelona, shall we? It’s on my list of places to visit (basically the whole world is on the list!). And if I do ever visit this fine Spanish city, I would love to stay in a Barcelona apartment like this one. The old architecture is enhanced by a minimalist,…
Remember when I said I was going to finish decorating my dining room before I revealed any of the changes? I’m happy to say that I’m nearing the finish line! I ordered a new light fixture and rug this weekend, and now I just need to wrap up the wall hangings and I think the…
