I don’t know about you. but this time of year always makes me want to nest and make some decorating changes in my home. Normally it’s something simple, but this year is different. My dining room, living room, downstairs bathroom, and family room are all in a current state of mild chaos. Walls are getting…
I’m excited about today’s line-up for Style Showcase. My friends have knocked it out of the park with the inspiration they’re sharing today. You don’t want to miss any of these features!

Happy Tuesday, friends! Are you ready for another round of Style Showcase inspiration? Today we start off with fall decorating ideas from Janet. There’s so much inspiration to see. I’m sharing a collection of farmhouse bathroom ideas that will give you ideas for a quick bath refresh. Speaking of which, my clawfoot tub fixture finally…
September has arrived and the fall décor is coming out! Honestly though, it’s hard to get in the autumn spirit when it’s over 90 degrees outside for the fourth day in a row. Today is supposed to be the last day of this heat wave and then we’ll move on to 70-degree days. Whew! In…
This time of year is always bittersweet for me. Fall is certainly full of its charms, but I hate to let go of summer. I always feel caught between my love of both seasons. Does anyone else feel that way? Or are you happy to have cooler days ahead? Today my Style Showcase friends and…
Today’s Style Showcase features a hodge podge of decorating ideas – from a tropical wall mural to a vintage farmhouse tour. I don’t think I’ll feel much like decorating this week though. We’re supposed to hit temperatures in the low 100 degrees! Yikes! I’m not going to complain though. Wacky weather is everywhere this summer…
Today’s Style Showcase includes two beautiful home tours, glass-front kitchen cabinets, and a pretty summer vignette with charming daisies. My daisies are blooming in the garden but I haven’t been able to cut them (or other flowers in the garden) as frequently as I should to bring them inside. Next year maybe I could put…
No one sent out a memo for today’s Style Showcase, but it seems we’re all in a blue mood (in a good way) today. It’s no surprise that cool blues are a popular color choice during the hottest days of summer. So grab an iced tea, prop your feet up, and see the decorating inspiration…
Happy August! I love this time of year when the harvesting of vegetables from the garden begins. Visiting farm markets is also a joy because their bins are filled with tons of healthy options. I always buy a lot of sweet corn to freeze and enjoy in the winter. But enough about that, take a…
Happy Friday, Friends! I’m back from our vacation to Maine and have to say it’s one of the best places I’ve ever visited (even better than Hawaii). If you live there – you’re so lucky! I took lots of photos of historic homes in Kennebunkport and the surrounding areas and will share some of them…
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy! On today’s Style Showcase we’ve got a wonderful DIY porch swing, pale painted furniture, and summer quilts. There’s still plenty of time to enjoy the creature comforts of the season and that’s what today’s Style Showcase is all about. See what my blog friends and I have to share…
Today’s Style Showcase is about the color blue! Each feature has at least a touch of blue in the photo, and I’ve noticed that this cool hue is really trending in the world of interior design today. Gray is falling by the wayside while more colorful hues are making their way into rooms across America….
Am I the only one who thinks summer needs to slow down? My daughter told me her kids go back to school the first week of August! We never went back until after Labor Day. I don’t understand why schools are cutting summer vacation so short. It makes it more difficult to plan family vacations,…
Happy 4th of July! Hubby and I are headed out for some kayaking on the Rock River in Oregon (Illinois) and I can’t wait. I love being on the water looking for nature. What’s great about kayaking is that you can make it as peaceful or as strenuous as you want. Today will be all…
How’s your summer coming along? Good, I hope! I’ve started a new walking program and am loving it. First thing in the morning, I put on my running shoes and head outside, but I walk instead of run. I’ve got a subtle but nagging injury that flairs up every time I run. Thankfully, my calf…

Check out Rhoda’s tips for visiting St. Simons Island (need to put this on my bucket list), and see my tips for summer flower arranging. My cut flower garden is looking…
