Have you heard the news? Greenery is Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year! I love this choice because it’s so organic and earthy. The color green comes in so many shades from kelly to sage to yellow and blue tones. Pantone Greenery is a bright yellow-green that portrays spring and summer in all their loveliness….
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. In the midst of getting ready for Christmas, hubby and I have also been planning the sale of our home this coming spring. I’m anxious to purge ourselves of a lot of stuff, but it’s a…

I’ve got eleven examples that will give you inspiration to plan your next gathering with friends and family. One of my favorite recent…
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…
Flea market style has been popular for many years now and it’s easy to see why. First off, you’re likely to pay less for home decor when you shop the flea market. Secondly, items are a little worn yet well-loved, which means they have character. Most definitely, your favorite flea market find has a story….
Although I love my flowers and always have them in my house, I had the notion to create a pretty vignette using an aquatic plant that looks like a flower. You may or may not know that I work for an international water gardening company. I’ve learned a lot about water lilies, lotus, and other…
If you watch Fixer Upper on TV with Chip and Joanna Gaines, then you know that two of Joanna’s loves (besides Chip), are shiplap and French doors. She includes both elements in almost every home makeover. I recently posted inspiring examples of shiplap, and today I’m featuring beautiful French doors in a variety of applications….
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…
I must have summer on my brain and in my heart because this is my second beach-themed post this week. I’m joining fellow bloggers for another installment of “It’s All Set” which celebrates the art of table setting. As a kid, I never would have thought of it as an “art” but rather as a…

Bohemian. A person who has informal and unconventional social habits; especially an artist or writer. Visions of the 70’s hippie culture probably come to mind when you think about what Bohemian style looks like. In decorating, Boho Chic style is typically colorful and laid back. My daughter’s a fan of boho chic and we share…
What’s on your coffee table right now? Mine has a vase of pretty flowers, a vintage book, my hubby’s glasses, and a bottle of water. More often than not, my coffee table is a combination of a pretty vignette and everyday items. It’s easy to let the coffee table become a catchall for magazines, remotes,…
Today I’m sharing a Northern neighbor’s charming home tour, which seems apropos since it actually snowed a bit yesterday. Luckily none of the white fluffy stuff stuck to the ground. Hopefully Christina up in Canada isn’t experiencing our temporary plunge in temperature. She blogs at The DIY Mommy and has such a pretty prairie-style home….

Today’s charming home feature is a new-to-me blog! When I first started this Sunday series over a year ago (yes, it’s been more than a year), I wondered when I’d run out of charming homes to feature. There are still a ton on my list I haven’t gotten to yet, and I keep running across…
So much attention is given to Halloween and Christmas that Thanksgiving is often overlooked. It’s a wonderful holiday where we express all that we’re thankful for, and one thing I especially appreciate is the blogging community. I’ve had the chance to meet some warm and wonderful people who are always supportive and encouraging. I asked a…
