There is something truly restful about being comfortable in a home and allowing it to refresh you as well. For me it goes so much deeper than attaining that “magazine perfect” look. It’s how it makes you feel. And when it impacts the lives of others who don’t even live there, you gain a sense of accomplishment. I have done my job, in making home inviting and welcoming to all, even the smallest …
All those investments of pouring into our house came full circle when we were sick, and our home offered us a place of comfort and rest so we could get better. As I laid there and looked around our home, I felt refreshed because I was in an environment that inspired me and welcomed me in to rest, so I could regain my energy to go back out into the world. Something, that in the busy everyday life can get over looked. So the next time you think it’s silly to fluff those pillows, or buy that pretty frame that makes you smile …
Spring! Just saying the word puts a smile on my face. I don’t know why, but I don’t think I can say the word “spring” without smiling. I instantly get visions in my head of flowers popping up out of the ground, and trees budding outside. A sign that winter is over, and a new season is beginning. I always say the fall is my favorite season, and Christmas is my favorite holiday, but secretly every time spring hits …
I’m joining some pretty amazingly talented bloggers this week for a fun little tour along with some fun questions we will all be answering. To be honest, I feel a little star struck to be in this group, and a whole – lotta gratitude to be among some amazing people, that inspire me on my own blogging journey. The one thing we all have in common is …
I shared with you last week some goals I have for our home in 2016. If you missed it, you can catch that post HERE. Today I thought I would share with you some of the design ideas I have in mind for our downstairs bathroom. I have wanted to tackle this bathroom since the day we moved in, and fill it to the brim with character. Sometimes the smallest rooms are the easiest to decorate, because a little goes a long way, and sometimes …

I’m so excited to share with you today that our make-shift farmhouse entryway is being featured in a magazine! Hitting newsstands today is the spring issue of Country Women Magazine, where our entryway is featured. As fun as it is to see things online, there is something different about being able to hold it in your hands. I’ve always been one who feels …
So I’ve caught a bug. Not a stomach bug or any type of sick bug, so don’t worry. It’s funny how refreshing one space can be contagious, and now I have caught the bug of freshening up more of our spaces. We have a running joke around here, between my husband and I, that I always have a project! He may be right, but just as we approach our 5 year mark of being in this home, I was starting to think there really wasn’t anymore left to do, or was there. I did a re-cap last year when we hit the 4 year mark and it’s full of all sorts of fun before and after photos like these ….
I always feel a huge sigh of relief when the word Easter starts making it’s way into conversation. It’s like that light at the end of the tunnel of a long dark winter. Thankfully this winter hasn’t been anything close to what it normally is, but once Easter arrives I can usually stop holding my breath that a possible snow storm could happen. Yes we may get a flurry or two, I’ve had lovely wet snow fall on my birthday which is the first week of May, but nothing to worry about it’s usually back in the 60’s in the following couple of days. So with Easter, comes my sigh of relief …
