After all the decorating for Tuesday’s Christmas home tour, I’ve been taking it easy the last couple of days and enjoying all the other Holiday Housewalk tours happening this week. I thought I’d share a few simple Christmas decorating ideas using some of my photos that didn’t make it into my home tour earlier this…
Santa’s elves have been busy at my house hustling and bustling to trim the tree and deck the halls. Well, actually it was one elf … little ole me! Today I’m participating in Jennifer Rizzo’s annual Holiday Housewalk and I’m so excited to share my Christmas home tour with you! I’ll warn you now ……
It’s finally here! A full week of 30 DIY blogger homes all decorated for the Christmas Holiday House Walk organized by Jennifer Rizzo. Are you ready to enjoy them all? I know I am! I look forward to this week each year. My home tour is tomorrow, but since I’ve taken literally hundreds of photos, I…
Over the past few years I’ve noticed I’ve been turning less and less to decorating magazines and more and more toward my fellow bloggers for decorating ideas. My blogging friends are truly amazing and they inspire me every day! So I thought it would be fun to share a bit of Christmas inspiration from my blogging…
This past week I’ve been up to my eyeballs in Christmas decor, with a goal of getting all the halls decked before Thanksgiving. Why so early? Because the week after Thanksgiving I’m joining a virtual holiday house walk with about 30 other bloggers. But for now, I’m turning an admiring eye toward Anita’s city house…
Today I have a very special charming home tour for you (do I say that every Sunday?). Alice of Thoughts from Alice is someone I’m quite fond of even though we’ve never met face-to-face. She truly has a sweet, loving spirit and I love her artistic style. I also love her home, which is a…
They say Christmas is for kids, but I still love Christmas. With each passing year I’m drawn more and more to the nostalgia of Christmas past. Memories of childhood Christmases haunt me and I find myself wanting to recreate that magical experience. So it’s no surprise that this year I’m dreaming of a vintage Christmas….
Last Sunday I took a break from the Charming Home Series in order to participate in the Thanksgiving blog hop with some of my friends. Today I’m happy to be back at the home tour series and you’re going to love today’s tour! Karen from Karen’s Up on the Hill has only been blogging for 4…
One thing I love about this time of year is that bloggers get together more often to showcase loads of inspiration. From home decor to recipes to table settings and more. Today I’m joining some fabulous bloggers for Thanksgiving table settings. A special thanks to Bre at Rooms for Rent for putting this blog hop together!…
I love natural textiles like linen and cotton, and when those textiles are woven with a European flair, all the better! My newest sponsor, The French Elements, shares a variety of French inspired decor on her website. Intricate embroidery carefully woven onto French linen fabrics and more. It’s all quite dreamy. Take a look … Barb…
Omigoodness it seemed like forever before hubby and I would ever finish painting our clapboard farmhouse! We started the project toward the end of July and finally brushed the last bit of paint on her the weekend before Halloween … just before it got cold. Hubby predicted it would take 3 months and he was…
This past summer I ordered a dust ruffle from Joss and Main for one of the beds and would you believe I never bothered to put it on? Until today that is. The reason why I procrastinated is because I didn’t feel like lugging the heavy mattress off the bed to put the skirt on. I finally buckled up…
Have you been enjoying my Charming Home Series so far? It’s been fun for me to feature different home styles each week with all of you. There are so many amazing houses out there that I’ll never run out of material! I do get permission from each person before showcasing their beautifully decorated spaces ……
Fall is the season of transitions … the exit of summer, the turning of leaves, the cooling of temperature, and the shortening of days. There’s a lot going on in the month of October, and it ends with a bang when we celebrate Halloween. Here’s my Halloween tour to get you in a frightful mood with…
Today’s charming home tour is filled with romance and nostalgia. When I look at Nita’s home at Mod Vintage Life I’m instantly taken back to Hollywood glam. Nita’s charming home is filled with rich, feminine touches and it’s easy to see she has a signature style all her own. From the chandie above to the…
