Last week I shared decorating ideas for achieving the farmhouse look in your home, and today I have even more farmhouse style to share with you. But this time, it comes in the form of a book that I’m giving away! One of my goals in 2015 is to host more giveaways. It’s my way…
One thing I love about vintage bottles is they’re extremely versatile when it comes to decorating. They look pretty all on their own, and they make a visual impact when grouped together. I have several types of old bottles … clear, aqua, altered, milk bottles, etc. I change them out from time to time, putting…
It was about a year ago that I was first introduced to Jen’s blog, Migonis Home. I fell in love with her simple, beautiful style. Her home is light and airy, with a comfortable familiar feel in each room. Her decorating style is practical and beautiful all at once. Jen and her hubby have done…
I keep telling myself I’m going to make some pillows. I buy the fabric, I have the pillow forms, but yet I never seem to pull the trigger. Instead, I search for store-bought pillows at the last minute to complete the look of a room. Lucky for me, several of my bloggy friends have pillow…
Over the years of decorating several homes I’ve lived in, I never really thought of myself as having an affinity for farm style. I just know I like quirky old houses and vintage finds. Since living in my current home, where the streets of town meet the country roads, I find myself drawn more and more to farm…

As 2014 draws to a close I’m taking a look back at the year and sharing my 10 favorite blog posts. As a blogger, sometimes it’s easy to come up with ideas to share, and other times I’m wracking my brain for inspiration. Blogging is a lot of work … you first need the ideas…
One thing I really miss during the winter is the color green. The bare leafless trees start to look forlorn and I miss the shades of lush green grass. The outside world begins to look monochromatic during winter and since I can’t add color outside, I can bring the greenery indoors. I found some indoor…
When you take a tour of Lauren’s house from The Endearing Home, you’re going to feel like you’re looking at the pages of a magazine. Her charming home is impeccably decorated and everything flows together so beautifully. It has a very comfortable, homey feel to it, too. Ready to take a look? The fireplace takes…
Christmas is just one week away! Although I’ve been busy decorating and shopping, I never forget the true meaning of Christmas and the celebration of Christ’s birth … God’s greatest gift to the world! I like to think the creative expression of decorating is a reflection of God’s creative nature. After all, if we’re made…

Well, I started out looking for Christmas trees on Houzz in order to share a variety of Christmas tree decorating ideas with you. As I became increasingly frustrated because I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for, I remembered I have uber-creative blogging friends with beautiful holiday trees. So after a quick inquiry, I found…
I can’t pinpoint when I first fell in love with Scandinavian style. It might very well have to do with the fact that I was raised in Geneva, Illinois … a quaint Midwest town west of Chicago with strong Swedish roots. I remember shopping as a child with my mother at The Gift Box ,…
They say you only have one chance to make a great first impression. The same can be said for your home so why not create a welcoming entry way for friends and guests? I turned to Houzz for a variety of examples to add style and warmth to your foyer or mud room. Farmhouse Entry…
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…
