Are you enjoying all the fall decorating that’s flooding the internet these days? There seems to be no end of inspiration and creativity! Today I’m joining a few creative bloggers to share our homes with you during this week of “Fall in Love with Your Home” tour. I’ve already revealed part of my home decorated…
Do you ever find you have a space in your home that you’re not quite sure how to use it or decorate it? My daughter had a wall in her living room that we thought could serve a better purpose. We talked about creating a new home office where she could do computer work. As Stephanie…
Southern breezes are blowing as we tour another Tybee Island rental cottage. The Breeze Inn belongs to novelist Mary Kay Andrews, author of Savannah Breeze. She named the cottage after the fictional Breeze Inn from her best-selling novel. This charming home has all the cottage appeal you’d expect to see in an island retreat. Ready for the…
The past couple weeks I’ve spent more time in the garden and less time in the house. We had a bazillion weeds that were out of control and I knew if I didn’t get them pulled quickly, they’d take over the entire yard. We also managed to get our vegetable garden planted. I did have…
It’s Farmhouse Friday!! I love Farmhouse Friday which occurs the 4th Friday of each month and includes 5 other bloggers with farmhouse style. This month’s theme is the Farmhouse Kitchen and I’m super excited about it because Polder’s Old World Market is offering $350 worth of their beautiful hand-carved wooden chef utensils to one lucky…
Spring is definitely in the air here in the Midwest and I’m celebrating the start of the season with a few of my favorite bloggers from both the U.S. and Canada! (You’ll see links to their inspirational spring decorating at the end of the post.) I was in the mood to create a spring tablescape in…
When I look back on my years of home ownership and apartment renting, I realize that there is one decorating staple that’s remained consistent in my life. Flowers. Pink, purple, yellow … it doesn’t matter what color. Having flower arrangements in the home is a sure way to perk up a room and lift the…
I have to be honest … I wasn’t sure whether I would write this post about my trip to Cozumel. Don’t get me wrong, I had a great time! I just don’t want to be one of those people that shows photos of their vacation to anyone and everyone who will listen. But if a…
I can’t believe the day is finally here, but it is!! I am on my way to Cozumel Mexico with my 2 daughters. In fact, this post should be published right about the time our plane takes off from O’Hare airport. I have never been to Mexico so I’m pretty excited. I’ve been to Jamaica…
One of the first bloggers I ever met was Anne at White Lace Cottage. She lives just north of me and used to sell vintage items at an antique store with several vendors. So one winter’s day hubby and I made the trek up there and lucky for me, Anne happened to be there! Her…
Today I have a special treat for you! I found a remodeled charming beach cottage over at Houzz and just have to share it with you! At only 950 square feet, it packs a decorating punch with its bright and airy appeal. I think you’ll love the simplicity and easy style of its cottage decor. This…
Are you ready to fall in love? Once you see the beautiful charming home at Jenna Sue Design I predict you will be totally smitten! Jenna Sue and her hubby moved into their California home a little over a year ago and the transformation is jaw dropping! Jenna Sue includes before, during, and after photos…
It’s not officially winter yet but once the snow starts to fly I dream of getting cozy in a cabin … or ski lodge. Some place with warm wood treatments and a crackling fireplace. A plaid blanket or cable knit throw would be an added plus. I searched Houzz for cabin style decorating ideas just…
This year I’m really looking forward to Christmas! My decorating is almost done and that means I can spend the weeks leading up to Christmas enjoying other things … like spending more time with family and friends, baking, attending holiday events, and more. And… my holiday home tour is next Tuesday! Eek! I hope you’ll stop…
Over the past few years I’ve noticed I’ve been turning less and less to decorating magazines and more and more toward my fellow bloggers for decorating ideas. My blogging friends are truly amazing and they inspire me every day! So I thought it would be fun to share a bit of Christmas inspiration from my blogging…
One thing I love about this time of year is that bloggers get together more often to showcase loads of inspiration. From home decor to recipes to table settings and more. Today I’m joining some fabulous bloggers for Thanksgiving table settings. A special thanks to Bre at Rooms for Rent for putting this blog hop together!…
