Spring officially arrived a few weeks ago, and now I think it’s safe to say it’s here to stay. Daffodils and crocus are in bloom, the days are longer, and the soft breezes a bit warmer. It’s the perfect time of year to tour the fresh and light home of Amy at The Blissful Bee….
In color psychology, black means power and control. It’s intimidating and secretive all at once. But in my opinion, decorating with black is classic and timeless. It adds an air of sophistication to any space … not at all overpowering when done right. (Click on photos to be taken to original on Houzz.) Dining Room…
Do you try to resist temptation when it comes knocking at your door? For me, that temptation normally comes in the form of white ironstone but this time, it came in the shape of 3 blue and white transferware vases. I first saw the vases in an email from Antique Farmhouse. Then I made the mistake…
Today’s charming home tour marks the one-year anniversary of the Charming Home Series! I can’t believe it was actually a year ago when I launched these Sunday tours of beautiful homes across the country. Most of these houses belong to bloggers I’ve met over the years … some I’ve met face to face … others…
Whenever I tour Kelly’s home at The LilyPad Cottage, my spirits are immediately lifted and I’m put in a good mood. Her home is bright, beautiful, and livable. Kelly’s a lucky girl because her home is situated lakeside. You’ll see a beach theme reflected throughout her decor and I know you’ll find it such a…

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! I’ve been reading Kim’s blog ever since I started blogging and am always amazed by her creativity and ingenuity. Her home is gorgeous and her spirit is sweet and genuine. It’s…
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…
