So I hope you’ll take a little time to yourself and enjoy today’s charming home tour which features a…
Pink and green is one of my all-time favorite color combinations. Ever since I was a little girl I was attracted to pink and green. Green was my best friend’s favorite color, and mine was pink. We watched 4th of July fireworks together every summer and we most loved the fireworks that were half green,…
Spring is perhaps my favorite season for decorating the house. I love cracking open the windows to let the spring breezes flow in, bringing with them the wonderful scent of lilac and apple blossoms. Spring cleaning doesn’t feel like a chore; instead it feels like performing a little therapy on the house, purging it of…
I’m sitting at the dining table with the window open and spring breezes wafting in. Looking out, I see tiny violets jumping out of the grass ready to party with Mother Nature. I love this time of year. Another thing I’m quite fond of is beautiful homes, like the one we’re touring today. Tara’s house…

After being sick for several days I was feeling rather blue. I don’t like being cooped up in the house for days on end. Where did that phrase come from, anyway? Feeling blue? I love the color blue and wish it wasn’t associated with feeling sad or depressed. At the end of this post you’ll learn…
Today’s charming home tour features a colorful cottage I found at Houzz. In fact, I found several homes over there that I want to showcase for you in the upcoming weeks, mixed in with some amazing blogger homes too! Houzz has a wonderful “embed” feature that allows you to share photos on your own site…
Do you remember sleeping under fluffy handmade quilts at your grandmother’s house? The thought of her hands sewing each stitch with needle and thread made you feel like she was holding you while you fell asleep. The tender care of crafting quilts make them such a treasured icon in the home. My personal belief is that every home…

So happy to announce that we’ve got a special edition of Farmhouse Friday for you today! We’re featuring our spring home tours and we all have a little something special to share. For me, that something special is the color coral. It’s not a color I normally choose, but I’ll explain how pops of coral came…
Today I’m doing 2 things. One – I’m sharing 6 tips for creating a cohesive spring decorating look in the dining room. And two – I’m joining some of my favorite bloggers for a spring tour and each one of us is providing a tip or how-to. Special thanks to Rachel at Shades of Blue…
Woohoo! Today is the first official day of spring! We have crocus blooming and I picked up some violas and purple hyacinths to plant in the garden. The robins are back in full force and the Virginia Bluebells are poking up out of the ground. I love when the earth comes alive again. I also…

I keep telling myself I’m going to run out of beautiful homes some day, but then I stumble upon yet another talented blogger and decorator … like Jennifer of Rambling Renovators. She hails from Canada and her charming home is filled with style, light, and color!…
I’ve been reading home and garden blogs for almost 5 years now, and one of the first I discovered was Eclectically Vintage. I remember the first time I saw her kitchen I thought, “this girl knows what she’s doing!” I love Kelly’s eclectic style and her ability to seamlessly and beautifully marry different decor styles…
When you think of farmhouse flowers, what do you imagine? Garden daisies in a mason jar? Colorful zinnias in a white ironstone pitcher? Most likely you see a simple vessel filled with flowers from the garden. Today is Farmhouse Friday and I’m so happy our topic this month is floral accents. I don’t think there…
When I flip through a decorating magazine, one thing I pay special attention to is the wall art people have chosen for their rooms. Art is such an easy way to personalize a room, whether it’s photos of your family or a painting by a favorite artist. And of course, hanging a piece of new…
