Let’s make your home YOUR home! Here, you’ll find all sorts of inspiration and ideas as you search for new ways to transform your home into a place you love! I’m a big fan of simple, but meaningful decorating!
Happy March 1st! Today marks the end of my “Adding Meaning to Our Home” mini series, and I’m wrapping up everything I’ve done to make our home extra special! But before I do that, we have one last thing that makes me happy, happy. If you follow on facebook, you might have noticed that I…
I’ve mentioned before that I grew up on a farm and come from a long line of proud farmers. Recently, my great grandpa passed away and not only left behind an amazing legacy, but also several treasured and memory filled items. One of those items just happens to be an onion basket- or several of…
I think we can all say that there are items in our home that have been handed down by family members, or things that have a special meaning to us. Over time we are bound to collect them. Once upon a time, I thought that “new” was way better than old. I would much rather…
I am fully aware that I just showed you the new drapes for the breakfast nook. However, after I started thinking about how the room would be used, I began wondering if drapes would really be the best choice for a bench seat where people frequently sit. I kept imagining someone sitting on the drapes…
Recently I came across several amazing posts by Darlene at Fieldstone Hill. After reading about the importance of finding and creating my own signature style, I was inspired to do just that. I found it a little ironic that I stumbled upon her site. Lately, I’ve been working on distinguishing my style and she provided…
Our entryway has had several changes since we moved in 8 months ago. Even with everything that we’ve already done, I still don’t consider the entryway finished. I keep going back to tweak and change things around. This project is no different. I was ready for a change. We have two frames that hold some…
Alrighty. I know you’ve all been curious about what I did with the original breakfast nook curtains. And because I put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into those curtains, they had to find a happy home. And I’m proud to say that they’re happier than they’ve ever been. 🙂 One day, I walked…
You all got to see a small glimpse of our new drapes in the breakfast nook when I showed you our new light fixture. And today you’re going to see even more of them! 🙂 Originally, my plan was to keep the drapes that I made for the breakfast nook. But then I got to…
Yes, I’m talking about curtains again. But this time they’re in the living room. They’re the same curtains that we put in the master bedroom, but we used the white rod from IKEA rather than the black one. I must admit, I love how they brighten up the space. They’re not too “heavy” looking and…
Our house is basically curtain-less. Yes, we do have bamboo blinds, but they’re a bit see through… My husband thought I was insane, literally, when we got them in the mail. He wanted me to send them back, but I couldn’t. I had to give them a chance… They have really grown on me. Some…
Why yes, the title of this post is exactly what it states. I put a bird in our fern. While cruising through target the other day I ran across a delightful set of three white ceramic birds. They looked happy and chirped their way right into my cart. They were an impulse buy, but I…
Yes, the office has a new chair. We sold the other one, which really wasn’t an office chair at all, more like a dining room chair that had 5 other identical friends and a table to call home. It was time. I went weeks without a chair. It was miserable! Every time I went in…
There’s been a new addition to our living room! I’ve recently added the cutest little fern, and boy does it act big! I’m loving the bright pop of green that it brings to the space, plus the factor that it cleans our air. It’s a contributor, and I like that. 🙂 I’ve recently decided that…
I’ve made a change to our breakfast nook. I was searching the clearance section of our Hobby Lobby and came across a black mirror for a great price. When I first saw it I wasn’t sure where I would hang it, but it was too good of a deal to pass up at $15.00. So…
Happy Friday! I have been working on the kitchen for the past couple of days and have finally made some progress that’s worth showing. It’s in no way finished. In fact, there are a couple of things that need to be hung on the wall. I had a successful trip to the thrift store and…
My hubby and I went round and round when we were building our home. He thought that we only needed one “eating area”. Be that a dining room or a breakfast nook, he only wanted one. Why? Because he knew that we would probably eat at the kitchen bar every night and not sit in…
Happy Monday! I know that I’ve been telling you I would show you the interior of our home. And I’m sure that you’ve quit believing me by now. The thing is, I keep changing it up. But I can’t keep waiting around to show you. So, this is our dining room. As it sits, right…
This past weekend was chock full of home goodness. We worked on projects, we hung pictures and we organized. It was wonderful. I had a chance to purge through all of my old decorating items and managed to fill an entire box designated to Goodwill. My style has changed a bit and I tried to…
