Have you ever noticed how amazingly beautiful wildflowers look alongside a country road? They’re not artfully arranged according to a certain plan, but rather, they’re haphazard and colorful and look better than any store-bought bouquet. I love to bring these fragrant wildflowers into my home, and you can too! See how easy it is to…

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…

One of these days I would love to get a new fence. I like our rustic style fence in the backyard but it’s really more shabby than chic. I found a collection of pretty, country style fences on Houzz for inspiration. Let me know which one you like best! Traditional Exterior by Atlanta Architects &…

Once summer rolls around I like to lighten up my home decor and this year I’ve been in the mood to add color. I recently added some fun color to my front porch and like it so much better now. The next room to get some fresh summer decorating was my family room. Can you tell the main thing…
Old Man Winter is out in full force and most of us are huddled in our homes trying to keep cozy. I try not to make my winter decor too heavy. Instead, I like to use candles and a snuggly throw or two. The first thing that comes to mind when creating a cozy home is…
One of my favorite things about blogging is the wonderful people I get to meet online! So many of you have left wonderful comments and each one is treasured more than you will know! Recently one of my readers emailed me to let me know she’s selling her home and wondered if I would share…
When I think of farmhouse kitchens, I think of my grandmother and also Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith Show. Remember the episode when Aunt Bee and Clara entered the pickle contest and Aunt Bee’s pickles tasted like kerosene? Just like Aunt Bee’s kitchen, my grandmother’s was simple yet comfortable. It’s where all the important…
Less than 2 months ago I received an email from Annarita Triarico, an Italian journalist working for Lotus Publishing. She wanted to feature my home in one of their magazines, “Gli Speciali di Casa Chic.” At first I thought it was a joke, but I looked at their publishing site and realized it was a legitimate…
A little green and white pair together this year to set the scene for a farmhouse holiday dinner. Mismatched white dinnerware is flanked by vintage silver plate. Book pages provide a makeshift table runner. The white glasses are identical to ones my grandmother had. When I found them at the flea market I had to…
