Today is the first edition of Farmhouse Friday with some of my farmhouse blogging buddies! Starting today, we’re bringing you a series of farmhouse style posts the 4th Friday of every month. I’m so excited to bring you this new series because farmhouse style has really grown in popularity the past few years. We decided to…
Spring is officially here so I thought I’d give you a tour of my spring decor in my home. I’m joining several other bloggers to share our homes with you all week long! We worked with Kirkland’s who let us pick a few items from their store to help decorate. How fun is that? You’ll find…
Today is a very special day because I’m featuring the home of a popular and highly talented blogger … Kim of Savvy Southern Style!

Spring is definitely in the air here in the Midwest and I’m celebrating the start of the season with a few of my favorite bloggers from both the U.S. and Canada! (You’ll see links to their inspirational spring decorating at the end of the post.) I was in the mood to create a spring tablescape in…
When I look back on my years of home ownership and apartment renting, I realize that there is one decorating staple that’s remained consistent in my life. Flowers. Pink, purple, yellow … it doesn’t matter what color. Having flower arrangements in the home is a sure way to perk up a room and lift the…
Spring weather beckons all us Midwesterners to come outside and shake off the cabin fever, which is exactly what hubby and I did today. When I got home from work we went for a walk and it was soooooo nice to see the buds on the trees and the first robins of the season! It’s…
Open shelving in the kitchen can be quite charming, but it’s not without its faults. Since everything is out on display, you can’t just shut the door to hide a mess. You’ve got to keep things neat and tidy … or maybe not if you don’t care that it looks messy. On the flip side,…
Promise me you won’t laugh but … one of the toughest decorating decisions for me is selecting pillows! You would think it’d be easy. Pick a color in a pattern that you like and you’re done, right? That’s exactly my problem though. I love so many colors and my rooms are pretty neutral that I…
{ Smitten } adj. very much in love Smitten is exactly the word I would use to describe how I feel about today’s charming home tour. It has all the appeal of a farmhouse coupled with the style of Pottery Barn! You can easily tell that Diana from Our Vintage Home Love pours a lot of care…
Spring is the season of pastels … soft color, soft sunlight, and the wakening of the world from its slumber. The faint hues of spring prepare us for the riotous smorgasboard of colors in the summer. I love spring and everything about it! Even the gentle rains that freshen the earth. An annual springtime ritual of…
Is it spring yet? We still have a few weeks before welcoming the new season and today I’m participating in a spring printables vignette party that my friend Kristen from Ella Claire coordinated. You can visit all the other ladies in the party (links at end of post) for plenty of spring decorating inspiration. I’m sharing a…

You may remember from a few weeks ago that I wrote about the chance to win a $350 store credit to Polder’s Old World Market to purchase your own set of wooden spoons and chef utensils (winner announced at the end of this post)! Their beautiful hand carved spoons and spurtles possess elements that I…
What is it about a 5-star hotel with its lush, comfy beds that makes us pay hundreds of dollars just to sleep there? The charm of a Bed and Breakfast with its cozy bedrooms also lures us to spend the weekend to relax and unwind. It’s the luxury of fine bedding, plump pillows, and a…
Do you ever collect things you love and find you have no where to put them when you get them home? Yet you keep buying them because you’re sure to find a spot for it! Such is the case with me and vintage mirrors. I especially love crusty old mirrors that have lost some of…
Neutral home decor doesn’t have to be boring and Shannon of AKA Design is a shining example that neutrals can be quite exciting in the home. She artfully mixtures textures and shades to create a beautifully classic, functional, and charming home. From time to time, she adds a punch of color for fun. I love…
