    Happy Monday and welcome to the 196th All About Home Link Party! It’s truly hard to believe that spring is almost over and summer break begins in two weeks! I am getting so excited about moving into our new home toward the end of summer, and I love gathering ideas for my new home and garden here at the party. I also love catching up with all of you. It has been a rough few weeks since losing my grandmother, but I truly find great inspiration and positivity here on the blog and I want to thank you all for your friendship and sticking with me while I haven’t been posting as regulary. I promise, there’s lots to come in the months ahead with a brand new house to blog about! Read more

    Beautiful Sunroom Inspiration for a Sunroom In Progress

    Sunroom

    A beautiful Sunroom has been on my dream home list for many years, and the sunroom at our new home was truly one of the selling points when we were trying to make the decision to move.  The picture below is the sunroom in progress, after we had already ripped up the old carpet and started priming the red brick throughout the room.

    New Backyard Shade Garden in Progress

     

     

    Hello my garden-loving friends! Today I am sharing a post about the new backyard shade garden in progress at our new home. It’s origins are bittersweet, but very special nonetheless. Just last week my grandmother passed away, and the only thing I could do to deal with the grief this past weekend was a little garden therapy. I had just started a new shade garden at our new house, and I really wanted some giant hostas to be focal points and to build around.  None of the local garden centers had the kind I wanted however.

    Elegant Traditional Style: Round Entry Table Ideas

    Create an elegant, traditional welcome with a classic round entry table beautifully styled for the seasons.

    Hey friends! We are just about six weeks away from moving into our new home and soon I will be able to open the front door to my foyer and share a virtual tour! I am so excited about our foyer since it was the room that literally drew me inside when peeking in through the door at an estate sale. Ever since we signed the contract on the home back in October, I have been on the hunt for a round entry table for our open foyer. This weekend I finally scored the perfect table at a favorite consignment shop! *This post contains affiliate links. Read more

    Pretty Spring Door Basket Ideas

    Welcome spring’s arrival with a simple and pretty spring door basket filled with your favorite spring flowers and greenery.

    Spring is just a month away, so it’s time to start thinking about pretty spring wreaths and door decor! As you may know, we are renovating another 1920’s home that we purchased back in the fall. Even though we aren’t moving just yet, I am hoping that I will be able to show you the front porch all spiffed up and decorated as part of my spring home tour next month! I am wanting to create a pretty spring door basket for my new (antique) door, so I headed to Pinterest to search for some ideas. Take a look!  *This post contains affiliate links. Read more

    Let’s Talk Decor: SW 2023 Color of the Year, Redend Point

    Welcome back friends for another post in my Interior Decor and Styling Series! As you may know, my husband is currently renovating the new-t0-us 1926 home that we are moving into this spring, and we are probably going to be ready to paint next month. I have looked at so many paint samples I can’t keep them all straight! I am a vintage-traditional decorator, but I still like to see what is trending in paint and accessories each year in decor to keep our home looking updated and stylish.  Every year Sherwin Williams and many other popular paint companies release their color of the year. Redend point is the Sherwin Williams 2023 color of the year, so I thought it might be interesting to explore and discuss this color. Let’s talk decor. This post contains affiliate links. Read more

    Charming Door Gifts for May Day and Mother’s Day

    Cute gift ideas for Mother's Day door basket ideas May Day baskets May Day Cones

    Suprise your neighbor with a traditional May Day door basket!

     Are you familiar with the old tradition of making a pretty basket or cone filled with flowers to hang on a neighbor’s door on May 1st? The tradition holds that you must sneak up and hang the basket, knock on the door, and run away. If you are caught, the neighbor must give you a kiss! Now, I really like my neighbors, but I think I will skip on the kissing part! Nevertheless, I think the tradition of giving your neighbor a pretty May Day basket is charming. Read more
