Maybe sharing a collection of stunning kitchens on Thanksgiving Day is a bit of overkill. After all, most of you are likely to be spending a good part of the day in your very own kitchen. Perhaps a post about dreamy bedrooms would’ve been better so you can think about the much needed rest at…

A lot of people organize their kitchen and other spaces after the holidays are over, but I tend to prefer to organize things before the holidays. That way I feel less stressed. I’m currently in the process of purging and donating things I really don’t need. Once that’s done, I’ll reorganize shelves and cupboards. Here…

I think it’s time for another beautiful room tour, and today I’m featuring an old world kitchen tour by my favorite kitchen designer – deVOL Kitchens.

Who loves color in the kitchen? I know I do. One of the reasons I enjoy a neutral kitchen is so I can add different pops of color in the form of crocks, glass bottles, or casual artwork throughout the year. It’s easy to change up and adds interest. Today I’m sharing a colorful cottage…
