This summer I made a promise to spend less time in the house and more time outside with my garden and my family. So I haven’t done much decorating but I did make a subtle change in my sitting room to lighten it up for summer living. Today is the first Saturday of the…
Fourth of July is just a few days away but it’s not too late to make some last minute decorations. I’m resurrecting my DIY Mini Flags decorations made from sticks and patriotic fabric! I found a variety of patriotic fabrics from Hobby Lobby for a very low price. And of course, you can find sticks…
Many of you know that we got a new pond last summer, and little did I know how much that would change my world! My backyard went from drab to fab and that led to sprucing up and creating new garden spaces in my yard. The above garden pond photo was taken before the…

Changing vignettes from season to season is something I’ve done for many years. Normally I’ll invest in new pillows or knick knacks but this year I’m rebelling against that approach and using things I already have to create earthy vignettes for summer – my favorite season! Today I’m joining another group of bloggers to…
My family is taking a vacation to Door County, Wisconsin this coming August. We’re all staying in a large modern farmhouse and I thought it would be fun to get the girls together for a summer luncheon and start planning our trip. My table setting is part of today’s Styled + Set Summer Home…
Today I’m back at my daughter’s house to show how we cozied up her boys’ bedroom. Bridget originally chose a dinosaur theme but after seeing some cute stuff at our favorite store – the plans changed to an animal-themed bedroom. On a side note – yay for June! It’s the first Saturday of the…

All month I’ve been obsessed with nature and spending time outdoors. I planted my pond and started work on a new shade garden. Unfortunately our spring has been rainy and cloudy and I’m not getting as much outdoor time as I’d like. That might be the reason why I’m craving nature right now. So on…
