When a person visits another, they are found standing on the front porch knocking on the front door. As he waits for the door to open and be welcomed, he stands there staring at the door. This is the first impression. My door is bright red with a few windows along the top. It is […]
There is something about the farmhouse sink that I’m resisting. Then again, every single time I see one, I think how wonderful it looks. Perhaps I’m afraid of it being just another trend but it does have such a clean look and the deep size makes washing pots and plans easier. I believe it is […]
The color, texture, shape and material of shutters can add such character to a home. Shutters are the special touch that can really make a home pop on the street. The original use of the shutter is still used in some places. They provide privacy, keep the light out, and bring protection from wind or […]
It’s about time for me to start working on my kitchen and I don’t mean cooking in my kitchen. The cupboards are in great shape so my husband will paint them and we’re thinking dark. Dark gray. Gray is quiet and subdued and is a place of calm. Maybe the kitchen will be a relief […]
Oh how I love the outdoors. I’d love to sit outside all day, relax and daydream! However, there are a few problems to this scenario. I really don’t like being out in humidity, extreme heat or around bugs!! The next best thing is being in a glass room. Perhaps this isn’t the “next” best thing […]
I wonder what it would feel like to wake up to a very colorful kitchen. There are so many countertop options out there. Would a bright yellow counter brighten your day? Would a pale blue counter soothe you? I like to know there are options but I will stick with my very favorite… the marble. […]
This post will be short because I’m baking cookies and it is gorgeous outside!! The kids and I are going back and forth between the backyard, back porch and kitchen. I love spending time outside in this weather before it’s too hot and buggy. Meanwhile, when I was looking at nurseries this week, I found […]
What a beautiful day! I had no idea about this wonderful national holiday. I guess I need to make a batch of cookies then! I do find it very inspiring to sit down with a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Do you?
Do you hate to bend over and dust under the dresser and all the way under the middle of a large bed? It looks like there is a solution! I love this photo. I found it on the Swedish Elle Interior site. I can’t say this is so much inspiring because I’m not about to […]
A piano not only fills a room with beautiful music but also with beautiful design. It’s important to always have the piano on display and not hide it in a corner amongst old, dusty books and blankets. I am always dusting mine and keeping it shiny. It’s nice to have beautiful flowers on top or maybe […]
