I have never been to Martha’s Vineyard but it’s on my bucket list of places to visit. Photos paint it as such a charming, picturesque place and today’s humble cottage by LDa Architecture is no different. (This post contains affiliate links.)

Today’s collection of Friday Finds is all about my daughter’s favorite color. Pink also happened to be my mother’s favorite color, too. Even if you’re not a fan of this rosy hue, I think you’ll enjoy seeing today’s finds that give a nod to Cupid’s upcoming holiday. Let’s start with something fun – a renovated…

Older homes get a lot of attention here at Town and Country Living, but new homes can be equally charming and unique if they’re custom built. Today I’m featuring a new house porch collection that proves you can add character to new construction. Each porch and home has its own unique details that create interesting…
The sun is finally setting after 5:00 p.m. here in Illinois. For us mid-westerners, that’s a winter milestone that calls for celebration! And in just a couple of days, January will be over. February is a short month, and then spring officially arrives on March 19th. This is the self-talk I have to go through…
Yesterday I shared a craftsman style home that featured an amazing coffered ceiling in the dining room. As I thought about this often-neglected element in interior spaces, I decided it would be fun to write a post about different types of a decorative ceiling treatment. Let’s start with a classic vaulted ceiling that’s lined in…

Are you glad it’s Friday? Our snow is melting and the temps are about 30 degrees warmer than last weekend. The ice on the pond is gone and I can see the fish all huddled at the bottom, which is their typical winter behavior. This week was a little stressful because the bathroom floor was…

My original plan was to share the best dining room trends during last year’s holiday season since we were all gathering with family and friends. But I’m more than a day late and a dollar short. Still, there’s no reason why we can’t talk about inspiring dining rooms as we continue nesting during winter. I’ve…
The bathroom floor guys arrived Monday morning and they dropped the toilet when removing it, which broke the connecting pipe sticking out of the wall. Water sprayed all over (not too bad though), and they had to call the plumber to fix it (at least I didn’t have to pay for the plumber). Ugh. I’ll…
Back when I was younger and just married, I thought every kitchen should either have yellow cabinets or blue. I chose blue for my first home but I sure do like this sunny yellow paint color in a cottage style kitchen. Photo by Robinson Interiors  I find the shade to be perfect for cabinetry….
I think today’s home tour just might be the perfect blend for both the husband and wife. If you watch those house hunting shows on T.V., you’ve probably noticed the man typically defers to the wife’s desires when it comes to choosing a new home. Not always, but a majority of the time. Today’s charming…
Like it or not, you’re going to be seeing a lot more color in home design this year. Neutrals are making room for the transition, from soft shades to bold hues and everything in between. If you’ve always been a neutral gal, you can learn to overcome your fear of color by easing into it…
