Welcome to Our Home

For years people have come to my home and always been very complimentary. I always thought of it as more of a cordiality. Recently I took part in our neighborhood Christmas homes tour. Over 250 people came into my home. When I saw ladies taking pictures of my ideas, I realized that I truly do inspire others. Sometimes I come up with ideas, and my husband really thinks I'm taking things a step too far. Like 5 months after we moved into our brand new home, I wanted to paint all the fireplace wood work and mantle black. Well, 4 years later we still like it and show guests the 'before' photo. We are all inspired by something. So, as I share things on this blog, I hope you duplicate, improve and are inspired to take your decorating just one step further. Enjoy!

Welcome to My Garden

The reason why I do this...



Is so I can have this...

Seriously, I love fresh cut flowers in my home. There is just something about enjoying the outside on the inside. Especially when the temperature becomes unbearable like today! When landscaping choose a few flowers that you will enjoying cutting and bringing in. These are my hydrangeas. For those of you who remember my Christmas trees from 2009, these are the same hydrangeas I cut and dry out and add to my Christmas tree every year! I also enjoy irises, peonies, lilacs, and sunflowers! Simple and easy!
