Comfortable Elegance

This home is so welcoming and comfortable.  The lighting is spectacular, and I can imagine beautiful land surrounding it somewhere deep in the country.  I love the way they continued the touches of lavender in every room.

Hope you have a fantastic Wednesday!

live well!

Barn Transformation

Good Monday morning...

This is a home designed by a talented local designer, Rachel Halvorson, for the country music singer Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn. 

It seems so cozy and inviting, just what a vacation home should feel like...

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Nesting Day





Its such a beautiful day here....sky is a misty grey....the wind is blowing softly and the big, fat raindrops are a welcome sound on my keeping room windows. Not everyone's idea of a beautiful day, I know, I know, but after nearly 3 weeks with no rain and 90+ degree days, my garden and yard have seen better times.

On a day like today, I could spend hours in a kitchen like this....vegetable soup simmering on the stove, french bread in the oven....off to the market!


Hope your day is perfect, rain or shine!

A Cottage in the Woods

Who wouldn't love to have a little cottage deep in the woods? I would fill mine with chippy old furniture, soft florals and vintage linens...gauzy curtains to let the sunlight in and fresh flowers in every room.


What would you fill your cottage with?


Happy Friday my friends...

Some Time for Myself...

As the last few days of school wind down for my children, it makes me want to escape and have just a few days to recharge before the summer.
I'd love to have a small cottage far away from our hectic life, somewhere where we can just "be"...

Sunday Dreaming...

(image via)

What is it about Sunday that brings out my domestic side? I find myself wanting to clean, cook and just nest with my family. I'm always inspired on Sunday to make those mouth watering, home cooked meals that fill the house with the most amazing scent. Maybe it's my way of savoring the last fleeting moments of the weekend at home before another whirlwind week starts....


The school year is winding down for my girls with only a few days left, and I must admit that summer break cannot get here soon enough! The next couple of weeks will be filled with exams, last minute parties and that swell of excitement that yet another school year is behind us....
