Today’s charming home tour features a fellow blogger! I love her traditional style and use of color throughout each room. Barbara grew up in a little town outside of Philadelphia and moved to New Jersey as an adult. She loves decorating and her friends like to call her “Martha.” It’s easy to see why when…

Today we’re traveling across the pond to Ireland to visit an adorable modern cabin in the woods. While you might expect a cabin to be a bit rustic, this one successfully flaunts a bit of mid-century style. Award winning designer Egon Walesch Interiors and Flowers is the creative mastermind behind the fun and charming living…

An 18th century farmhouse resides on the site of the town’s first 1635 meeting house. Lovingly and beautifully restored by Carpenter & MacNeille, the colonial farmhouse retains its original charm yet functions efficiently for today’s busy living. I think you’ll love how old and new come together to create a comfortably appealing home. Photo by…

If I had to describe today’s featured home in one word, I’d choose the word “happy.” Each room puts a smile on your face with its clean design and vibrant colors. This oceanfront house is a vacation home, but I think you’ll find yourself feeling like you could live here year-round. The living room wears…

Today’s charming home tour is a shingle-style house from the eastern coast of the US. Shingle-style architecture was inspired by a love of Eastlake Queen Ann architecture and a renewed interest in Colonial American architecture. You’ll find this style among seaside cottages where these types of homes were constructed for affluent families. This particular home was…

Last week was the Republican National Convention and this coming week is the Democratic National Convention. If you need a break from all the political rhetoric, look no further than this charming home tour of An Oregon Cottage. Jami recently sold her beautiful cottage and I’m honored to be able to feature it. She’s made…

Are you enjoying your summer so far? Our weather has been beautiful and that makes me happy. Sunny days, blooming flowers, strolling along the river, and maybe a few trips to the beach after the grands return from vacation. Summer is my favorite season and this pretty Cornwall beach house by Wickenden Hutley is exactly…

Welcome to July and another month filled with inspiring, charming home tours! Not long ago I stumbled across Emily’s blog at Our House Now a Home and was impressed with many of her DIY projects. I love to see people infuse their creativity into their interiors and Emily has done a great job at making…

Farmhouse style is hugely popular right now but you don’t need an old farmhouse to add this type of decor to your home. In fact, I’ve seen a lot of contemporary suburban homes made over into farmhouse style. But it’s always a special treat when you find a true farmhouse decorated for today’s busy lifestyles….

Can you believe my Sunday home tours have been going on for over 2 years now?  When I started the Charming Home Series, I never thought it would last this long. I love searching for new houses to feature and today’s hails from Houzz where I found a fresh-scrubbed Cape Cod Cottage style home that’s light…

With a name like Starfish Cottage you know this tour is going to be a feast for the eyes, right?  A cottage and the beach … what’s not to love?  Kristy’s charming home brings a refreshing mix of pretty style and comfortable living. Beautiful blues (which I love) and airy coastal style flow throughout this…

Today’s charming home tour features a blog I started reading years ago and still enjoy today. Rhoda from Southern Hospitality is a creative soul with seemingly endless energy!  She’s a passionate decorator and has tackled a lot of DIY projects around her house. I’ve learned a lot from her just from reading her blog and…

Warm breezes have floated into town making it feel like mid-July when you step outside. It’s making me nostalgic for the carefree summer days of childhood, when each day held a new adventure and you had no concerns. Today’s charming home tour recalls an early childhood summer vacation to the Canadian side of Lake Superior….

We’re having some pretty fabulous weather here in Illinois and I’ve spent a good deal of time out in the garden. I’ve enjoyed gardening since I can remember. I love being outside working with plants of any kind. But now it’s time to turn attention to the indoors as we take a tour of Brooke’s…
