To me there is nothing more special than being able to connect with friends over a story, and I loved being able to do that with you! In case you missed it, you can read the whole story HERE about my inherited china set, and how this set of plates that sat in basement for years ended up sparking my love to create tablescapes. Some of you had asked about the antique silverware also seen in the photos, so I wanted to share where that came from as well.
I looked at my husband, and he looked back at me utterly confused, and without hesitation I confidently exclaimed “I’ll take them”! I wasn’t exactly sure, and didn’t really know then why I wanted them so badly, I just knew it in my bones – these plates were going to be part of my story. You can imagine the thrill in my husbands voice when he asked me on the car ride home why I said yes, but I just shrugged my shoulders, and replied “They’re just plates”. Meaning how harmful could a few boxes of fine china really be?
Hello Friends!! I can’t believe we are just about in April! I don’t about you, but one of the ways I love dusting off the winter blues is a little spring gathering. Whether it’s for Easter or Mothers Day, a Baby Shower, or just because, it’s so much fun to host a spring inspired get-together for friends or family. I have to admit, hosting is one of my
Hello Friends!! So many of you have loved the farmhouse floor plans I have shared in the past, and while they all varied in size they had one thing in common – a farmhouse style! I shared in my first ever floor plans post just how much I LOVE looking at floor plans. Today I’m sharing 10 Floor Plans that are all under 2,000 square feet. Enjoy!
Hello Friends!! Thank you so much for all of your comments on my spring home tour last week! It means so much to me, especially when it’s more of the subtle changes in decor I crave from season to season. Sometimes, I only need one thing that “speaks” spring to me, as long as it does so loud enough…….
I wrote this post a couple years ago, but wanted to re-share it, because so many of you wrote me about how my recent “Mom Failure” post resonated with you. I know I love to share about decor and pretty spaces, but I think when it comes to creating a meaningful home, it helps to know where that stems from in a person, and we can get to know people a little more. So today I’m sharing more on my dreams of becoming a mom and decorating homes, and how the two collide.
I remember feeling like a bad mom. Not like I made a mistake and feeling remorse, but I remember feeling like I was completely failing as a mom, and that made me a terrible mother. 7 years ago I was in the throws of toddler hood with an 18 – month old and a 3 year old. I stayed at home full time with my babies (still do – only now they are in school), which had always been a dream of mine, ever since I was a little girl.
Ohh Spring, that magical time of the year, when the birds start chirping again, and you can feel the warm sunshine on your face, and everywhere you look, you can’t help but smile seeing all the beautiful flower buds covering the trees, and popping up from the ground. It’s such a refreshing sight after a long winter, and even though we might not quite be there here in New England, I love adding touches of Spring around our home, because it builds up anticipation for what’s about to happen outside.
Hello Friends! I’m teaming up with some friends today to share some Easter inspiration, and when I looked back through my blog, the last time I shared something for Easter was in 2016! Now, I know I don’t typically share decor for every holiday, but I decided that 2016 was far too long. So today I’m sharing a sweet spring tablescape that could be just the inspiration you need for hosting this Easter.
