DECORATING

I love decorating our home.
Over the years I have learned to add pieces to our house that bring us joy and meaning. Mixing new pieces of furniture and accessories with old/antique pieces gives a house a collected look.
Shopping the house first and using what I already have is great way to stay on a decorating budget. This is also a great way to add pieces you truly love to a house to make it a home.
No trends in our home I stay true to my style which is French Country with a bit of farmhouse.

  • Lamps to Holders

    Hi everyone, hope you had fun with the fireworks.  For me,  I DON’T like the whole thing.   Too loud and I hide right next to my Momma and Peanut. As you can see, I’m in one of my favorite spots.  Peanut says I’m boring but I love being right here to catch-all the action that’s going on, I’m VERY…

  • Pizza Friday

      For about 20 years John and I have enjoyed “Pizza Friday,” we love the tradition.   We try to change it up from regular red pizza to white one once in a while. When making white pizza it is a good idea to cook the dough for a bout six minutes 400 degrees.  …
