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…
Today’s charming home tour features a blogger near and dear to my heart. I’m happy to feature Danielle of Finding Silver Pennies! Her home has a beautiful and easy coastal style, with Danielle’s painted furniture pieces spotted throughout. Danielle is one of the sweetest bloggers I’ve met and she has a great sense of style….
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…
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…
As you read this, I’m still in sunny Cozumel! I actually wrote this post earlier in the week and scheduled it to go live today. Since I knew I’d be busy, I asked some of my blogging buddies to share some of their spring decorating ideas with me so that I could share them with…
In just one month we could see daffodils and tulips springing up in the yard. I can’t wait!! I like to get a jump start on gardening by planning now while there’s still snow on the ground. A quick look through photos on Houzz has given me landscaping ideas for this summer. Since our house…
A couple weeks ago my hubby excitedly walked through the door and told me about a new thrift store just 10 minutes from our house. Yes, hubby likes scouring the thrift stores just as much as I do and he was anxious for me to see it. It’s a huge store and I found a…
If someone asked me to describe Julia’s home from Cuckoo 4 Design in just one word, it would be gorgeous … or inspirational … or design-savvy … or, well let’s face it. I can’t describe her decor style in just one word because it’s fabulous. I love her creativity and use of color and I think…
You know what’s fun? Polka dots are fun! They’re happy and cheery and when you see them, they make you smile. Lately I’ve been drawn to polka dots in home decor and decided to do a little search on ideas for decorating with polka dots. Transitional Bedroom by Austin Interior Designers & Decorators Scheer &…
Every once in a while I get an idea that I think is fairly genius and I hope that it works out the way I want. You may remember I recently purchased a new white slipcovered sectional for my family room. I love the way it looks and I love that I can just take…
I’m not really sure how I discovered Clarita’s blog but I’m sure glad I found it! I love everything about her cottage style home that she and her hubby have painstakingly and lovingly restored. When you visit her at Skies of Parchment you’ll get to see before, during, and after photos of her home renovation….
In case you don’t know it yet, pink is my favorite color. I’m not a girly-girl though, I’m more of a tomboy … who likes pretty things. It doesn’t make sense and I don’t try to figure it out. Pink isn’t always frilly and feminine. It can even be used as a neutral color if…
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day at your house? I don’t do a whole lot but I like to bring in touches of pink and red. It’s like a decorating transition period between Christmas and spring time. I hauled my Paris Poster back out and added red and white pillows to the love seat. …
You know how realtors have Open House Sunday when you can take a tour of houses for sale, whether you’re in the market for a new home or not? Well, I feel like this Charming Home series is like a virtual Open House, except the homes aren’t for sale. I look forward to featuring a…
A little over a week ago I offered a giveaway for the beautiful book, New Farmhouse Style. Thanks to everyone who entered and for all your kind words in your comments. I was truly moved and encouraged. I wish I could give a book to everyone! The winner is Kay L who wrote, “I love seeing…
