Hello to a new week! It was a busy weekend around here for everyone. Eryn was home for her spring break and since it looks as though she will be transferring back after her spring term ends, we helped her and Cassidy hunt for an apartment. I think they have decided on the one they want and will most likely be moving … [Read more...]
I had a friend ask me a couple of weeks ago to put together a spring porch inspiration post to give her some ideas for her house. A front porch is what gives someone their first impression of your home. Regardless of the season or weather, size or shape, it should always be welcoming. Some people have large covered … [Read more...]
Hello!! I’m back from visiting Eryn and ready to get back to work. I must say though, not touching my computer for four days was very liberating. We had such a good time and it was nice to not think about work for a little bit. I arrived home to sunshine and warmer weather (sort of) so that was nice. I think you … [Read more...]
Good morning all. Do you know that I have been blogging about home, design, furniture, styling, etc.. now for a little over a year and I have never taken you on a tour of my home? I don’t want that to sound indulgent. It is just that most bloggers in the home design and styling niche have welcomed their readers … [Read more...]

I'm a huge fan of your blog and of your beautiful home, so it's … [Read more...]
Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Parade so far. Today we are all heading to beautiful San Diego to visit Kristin from My Uncommon Slice Of Suburbia. I have been a fan of Kristin’s since the beginning. Her home exudes class and sophistication – both of which she created on her own. She truly has an eye for … [Read more...]
Good morning all, Well...day three has arrived and today's tour is proof that even planning ahead, dotting your i's and crossing your t's sometimes isn't enough. I am thrilled to have Amy from The Salvage Collection here, but her visit has shifted gears a little. See, we both anticipated her being able to show off her … [Read more...]
It is the second day of my Parade of Homes and today we move up to the northeast to see how Kelly uses vintage in unique ways to transform her home into a masterpiece. Hi Turnstyle Vogue fans! I knew Shari was fabulous when I spotted her knockoff sun jars - which I then knocked off myself - yes, that's a double … [Read more...]
