We’re wrapping up International Wallpaper Week with a final post about wallpaper inspiration for any room in your house. You might find some of the patterns, and some a little too bold for your taste. But as the old saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!” Photo by Brewster Home Fashions …
My guess is that most of you have decorating staples that you turn to again and again. It might be statement artwork, pillows and throws, houseplants, or anything else you might love that’s always a mainstay in your décor. For me, and especially this time of year, it’s vintage amber bottles. Today is Cozy…
We had a super rainy weekend which didn’t make me happy because I have four new evergreen trees waiting to be planted and it was much too wet. I didn’t feel like going anywhere so I thought of some simple fall decor ideas for the family room and got to work. (This post contains affiliate…
Autumn doesn’t officially begin until next week, but today I’m showing what I’ve got so far in regards to my nature inspired fall home tour. I’ll start with my cozy (i.e. small) sitting room where I swapped out one cow picture for another – and I swapped out a set of chairs, too. (This post…
Have you ever been glamping? I’ve often wondered about it and recently found a location not too far from us that offers overnight glamping stays. Here’s a peek at what a glamping tent looks like inside and out! Photo by Huffard House Interior Design If you’re not familiar with glamping, it’s simply glamour and camping…
Have you heard of monstera? It sounds a little scary but it’s actually a beautiful plant that proves wonderfully versatile in home decor. Not to mention, it’s also fairly easy to grow. No wonder why it’s trending among plant people around the world. Photo by The Monstera, also known as the Swiss cheese plant…
This week I organized a series that features some blogging friends and their stories of why they chose the house they currently live in. We always share photos of our homes and how we decorate, but I thought it’d be fun to tell why we chose the house we did. Today’s line-up includes the following…
Yesterday two of my blogging friends and I shared why we chose the home we currently live in. Today, six more of my friends are sharing their home stories. Following is today’s line-up. I hope you’ll visit all of them, but at the very least, check out a few! I know you won’t be disappointed….
Happy August! This month my family and I are going on vacation to Door County, Wisconsin. Four families sharing one big house near the beach! I can’t wait and to satiate my desire to go, I enjoyed seeing how some people created beach style by using boat oars in their home. Photo by Dvira Interiors…
I’ve never met a wooden bowl I didn’t like. They have timeless beauty with organic appeal and look great with every decorating style. Photo by Zach LaPerriere, Wood Artist Look how great this rustic wooden bowl looks in a streamlined kitchen. It’s such a great statement piece with a rich, organic feel. Photo by…
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…
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! Summer is all about being outdoors and while…
Yes, you read that title right. I’m obsessed with a common weed that’s often confused with Queen Anne’s lace. Its lacy flower and fern-type leaves have stolen my heart and apparently I’m not alone. Cow parsley made several appearances in gardens at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, too. Photo by Jonathan Snow Design 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…
Last week I shared the latest item in my newest collection – a green patterned kantha blanket. Many of you mentioned you’d never heard of kantha before so today I’m sharing more examples of kantha inspired decorating. Photo by Kantha is a very simple type of embroidery used to sew pieces of worn saris…
Kantha is the ancient practice of using a simple running stitch to embroider old saris into cushions, blankets, and other beautiful pieces of home decor. People are falling in love with the colors and patterns, along with the recycling aspect of the art form. Just before Christmas I added a second kantha blanket to…
