Nestled down in the corner of our yard sits my she shed. It was a wonderful retreat this summer with a large glass of lemonade and stack of design magazines or Carly Simon’s biography (which I LOVED). The weather is still nice enough to spend many moments down there. I decorated it for the change…
It’s fall in the sunroom! If you asked me I’d have to tell you, this room is one of my favorites in our home. Today, I’m taking part in a #fallporchhop organized by my dear friend, Taryn, over at Design, Dining and Diapers. A bunch of us bloggers are giving you a little tour of…
Here in New England the leaves are just starting to turn color and their is a cool, crispness in the morning air. Fall is here. For some reason this year it took me a bit longer to get motivated to decorate our home. I just love the summer here by the sea. It is hard…
Guess what? Today I have a fun little farmhouse cabinet makeover for you. Over the summer I painted this antique cabinet white for my home office / art studio. I’m also sharing a few tips on getting a naturally distressed look. Here’s a look at the before and after: Okay, I’m going to wait for a…
I think you all know I love to paint. It relaxes me, both painting furniture and watercolor, but since the kids have been out of school, my paintbrushes have sat in the basement. What could be more fun than creating textured abstract art with my kids (or yours)? We each created a piece of textured…
Early in the morning, I love to venture down our garden to this little quiet spot. The sunlight is just so beautiful in here. Thank you all for your lovely comments on our summer home tour the other day. I took soooooo many photos of this space that I promised you a few more. Come…
Summer is here! Hooray! All winter long we’ve waited with the expectation of what these summer days and nights would bring: sunshine, sandy feet and belly laughs coming from the she shed. As many of you know, we live on the coast and summer by the sea is simply the best. I’m delighted to be…
We’re big fans of books in our house. I’m actually reading quite a few that I thought you guys might like so I thought I’d share a little post on what I’m currently reading – what’s on my nightstand! A love of reading was instilled in me at a very early age and you know my…
Happy Monday! You guys, can you believe that today marks three years in our home???? It feels like it was yesterday that we moved all our stuff in. If you’ve been following our renovations then you know I’ve been packing up to have the work done on the ceilings. Work is still in progress, but I…
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Easter and weekend with family and friends. We had a great time with my parents and the boys. I wish the weather was a little warmer here in New England but spring will come eventually. Thank you all so very much for the kind words about our…
“If we had no winter then spring would not be so pleasant.” Anne Bradstreet Friends, I’m so glad you’re hear today because I’m shouting it’s spring! I don’t like winter, or snow. Yes, it is pretty when you’re cozy inside, but we don’t ski and I often feel like winter can go on and on…
Easter is this weekend so I thought I’d share a simple idea for an easter table setting with a watercolor free printable. I painted the bunny in watercolor and love the subtle shades of grays and browns mixed on the paper: Isn’t he cute? I added a little note at the bottom “Some Bunny Loves…
