Summer is coming and I am so happy to be able to work in my garden and have fresh herbs and flower bouquets around the house again. Who’s with me? Actually, do we really need to wait until the weather warms up to bring the outdoors in? Of course not! Any time is a good time to add vintage garden style or natural touches to our homes. I love looking in magazines and Pinterest at bright, beautiful sun rooms and garden rooms that capture this aesthetic. Today I am sharing some inspiring photos as well as tips for natural interior design, regardless of the type of home you may have. *This post contains affiliate links.

5 Easy Ways To Make A Kitchen Feel More Spacious
The kitchen is the heart of the home! Large or small, everyone loves a cozy and welcoming kitchen. Even the smallest of spaces can be made to feel larger with the right decor tricks. Of all the rooms in our home, the kitchen is probably my favorite, but it has taken a while to make it feel more open and charming. Finding a good balance of decor and function is important to creating a workable kitchen space you love, and you don’t need to sacrifice personality and style to achieve that goal. Today I am sharing five easy ways to make a kitchen seem more spacious. *This post contains affiliate links and/or sponsored content.
Hello again dear readers! I am still working on my home project wish list for 2020, and updating/renovating our main bathroom is on the agenda! For as much as I love vintage style and adding lots of little treasures and collectibles all around my home, I really prefer a less cluttered look when it comes to the bathroom. A “modern-vintage” bathroom is actually very chic and timeless. Many modern styles are more reflective of the original bathrooms in older homes. Most of us with older properties usually want to design our bathrooms to remain in keeping with the character of the building. *This post contains affiliate links and/or sponsored content.
