Hello Dear Readers!
Today I am finally revealing the kitchen.
I know, you are probably saying that it
is about time. You can’t believe how many times
I have arranged and re-arranged this area.
Not being totally satisfied with what I have done.
Until…my hubby mentioned that it was “too white”
Where’s the color that you love?
That was it … I needed to add more color.
So here we go … my Kitchen Reveal.

Hello Dear Readers!
I thought that it was time to show you
more of the Guest Room. It is probably
one of the few rooms that is somewhat complete
with the exception of the window treatments
and one piece of art that is waiting
to be framed.
The windows are wide open so controlling
the light was difficult.
Welcome to the Hickory Cottage Guest Room!

Dear Grandma ~ A Tribute To Mom With Flowers

Hello Dear Readers!
I have been up to my eyeballs in boxes and
packing paper (still) and trying my best to work
with one room at a time; however, it has
been a bit difficult as there are still
many boxes that need to be unpacked.
I worked on the sunroom.
You could not see the floor as it was truly
covered with furniture, boxes, and orphaned
accessories. However, I got through it!
The Hickory Cottage Sunroom (for now)
Hello Dear Readers!
I am sure that with the health crisis
that we are all facing these days
and going forward into Spring,
we all are taking the time for reflection.
Reflecting on what is most important in our
lives. . . . Family, faith and friends,
and exhibiting compassion
and acts of kindness to others.
Today, it’s about
Bringing the Beauty of Spring Indoors.
