Today is a special day because I’m featuring Kris over at Junk Chic Cottage!
She’s one of the first bloggers I started following and I love her white palette.
Thinking it couldn’t get any better, I was then exposed to her gardens and oh my!!
It was like a flower explosion over there and I was in heaven.
So please join me on this special day in touring Kris’ home and garden …
Kris’ front porch with its newly painted blue floor is welcoming and colorful.
She has the most amazing green thumb I’ve ever seen …
you’ll see more of her gorgeous flowers at the end of this post.
Step inside and you’ll see a sea of dreamy whites throughout Kris’ charming home.
Kris adds a lot of textural elements in her rooms, which is a clever way to add depth to white rooms.
Kris’ dining room is light and airy with plenty of sunshine flowing in.
Ruffles on the end chairs add warmth and whimsy to this space.
A chippy white dresser cleverly serves as a dining room sideboard.
Beautiful white ironstone graces the open shelves,
while a shutter and birdhouse create visual interest.
Kris recently gave her kitchen an update. I love her use of shelves!
The wood counter top and floors add warmth to this beautiful room.
Pretty script fabric covers bar stool seats. I love “script” anything!
I just adore this cabinet Kris created in her kitchen space. Such ingenuity!
It’s both pretty and practical. Animal figurines lend a farmhouse vibe.
Even Kris’ office space is beautifully decorated with white and architectural elements.
What a pretty place to work, don’t you think?
The laundry room at Junk Chic Cottage is quaint and charming with a ruffled skirt.
And have you ever seen a more adorable door?
I wouldn’t mind doing laundry in a charming room like this one!
More ruffles make an appearance in one of the bedrooms.
The buffalo check comforter repeats the linen color in the ottoman and pillow.
I can’t imagine having anything but Sweet Dreams in this room!
Ah, this beautiful bed with its wrought iron gate for a headboard!
The Guest Cottage sign makes it clear this is the guest bedroom.
Kris added a beautifully ruffled French pillow to the space. Just lovely!
Back outside, we’re greeted with an explosion of pink!
A gorgeous garden lounger slipcover adds to the romance of Kris’ garden.
I don’t think I’ve seen petunias as lush and pretty as Kris’.
Finally, a riot of color awaits on the corner of the deck.
Again, the most amazing flowers in happy colors!
Be sure to see more of Kris’ charming home at Junk Chic Cottage …
… there’s so much more pretty home decor to explore!
Take a tour of more houses in my Charming Home Series!

August 17, 2014 at 1:58 pmWhat a wonderful home. No, I have not ever seen such a charming door in a laundry room. I like her idea of open shelving even in the dining room.

August 17, 2014 at 7:44 pmHoly moly! That’s a lot of flowers! Seems like by the time I finish all the work on the yard and gardens, I haven’t much time for the potted stuff. This makes me question my choices!

August 19, 2014 at 8:15 amOh my! I love all of that crisp whiteness against the chippy and well loved. So beautiful! But…that deck with it’s sudden explosion of color is totally enviable! What a beautiful home!
