As I’m sitting here, looking through the #FurnitureFeatureFriday2 feed, it’s snowing outside. I know there is a collective groan in Minnesota, but I am enjoy the magic of the snow falling in contrast to a flickering fire in the Living Room fireplace. There’s also something nostalgic about looking furniture posts and picking favorites. I started […]

It seems incomprehensible to me that I have given basically no thought to container plantings this year. By this time of the year I usually know exactly what I’ll be doing in all of my containers, but I’m just first starting to think about it now. Certainly the weather is partly to blame, but I’ve […]

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you are all ready for the weekend. I know I am! I've been helping my sister this week, since her grands, Parker and Iris, have been with her all week. And let me tell you, running around after a 4 and 2 year old will wear you out! I know she is too and we will both need to recover next week. I had Parker spend the night with me 2 nights to give Renee a break, since they are better alone than they are together, they tend to fight over things. It was fun having her here, but little ones are a handful to keep up with and entertain, that's for sure. Mom and dad saw them a lot too and we always enjoy having them around. Let's get on to Feature Friday! Today's Feature Friday is a gal I've met recently, in fact she was at Haven this year, although I didn't really get a chance to chat with her, I saw her. Tracey's blog, Porch Daydreamer, is so pretty and she shares all sorts of decorating ideas along with furniture painting and other DIy projects on her blog. She lives in Charlotte, NC and is a single mom to a son who is in college and she's learned a lot along the way about making a house pretty. After going through a divorce, she was forced to get back out to the career world, learning lots of good stuff along the way and building her confidence as a DIYer. Later she started her blog to share all that she has learned about DIY and decorating. And I'm glad she did! She has lots of great things to share on her blog.
One of the sweetest bloggers I know is Shirley, with Housepitality Designs. She is so warm and friendly and you can’t help but feel like you’ve known her forever, she’s that kind of lady. Her blog tagline is “it’s all about the hospitable home” and I know that is how Shirley lives her life too, welcoming friends and family into her beautiful home. Like many of us, Shirley is obsessed with decorating, even taking some courses in redesign and starting her own decorating business, after being in the healthcare field for over 20 years, because she just loves decorating that much. So many of us can relate to that! Decorating a beautiful home is on the forefront of a lot of our minds and it’s so fun to see how everyone interprets that.
