it's all about the hospitable home
Happy Friday Dear Readers!
It’s a wonderful Friday as it is the first Friday of the month
which means it’s Floral Friday! I am joining the Floral Friday team,
three of my very lovely and talented friends,
Lidy, Mary, and Pam to bring you some beautiful flower inspiration.
Today our theme is Flowers in a Box.
Join me for my Flowers and Music for Floral Friday.
It all started with a pillow, then another, then more pillows . . .
isn’t that always the case in most circumstances?
You see a pillow that speaks to you. Then you know just where to put it,
thus the beginning of a room refresh and the shuffling of items around the house.
You take one piece from one room . . . place it in another . . .
then you seek another piece to replace the piece you took away.
And so on and so on.
The pillow(s) landed in the sunroom and so An Early Summer Sunroom Refresh began.
I had full intentions of showing you my refreshed Sunroom for a little jump start to Summer.
It can truly double for Spring too.
Yes, Summer, as I think we may just go from Winter to Summer with the crazy weather
we have been experiencing. However, the rain and gloomy days
have kept me from photographing the room.
So today, I thought I would give you a little bit of What Have I Been Up To?
I can honestly say that my life is always a bit on the hectic side.
There is always something going on, whether it be things going on around the house,
travels, and activities, and not to mention the occasional shopping excursions.
Let’s start with curing my Spring Fever by beginning to fluff the porches and yard.
Hello everyone! It’s Floral Friday!
I had planned to do something in my dining room for this week’s post;
however, after trip to my favorite Consignment Shop, Always Home in Durham, NC.,
I decided to put that on hold and use my treasures that I found at the shop.
So today, I present a Sunroom Refresh with Blue and White and more.
I wasn’t quite sure in which direction I was going in to refresh the sunroom for Winter.
Initially I had some snowflake pillows from my Christmas decor in the room.
The sunroom was taking on a very neutral look . . . until . . . I took a trip to Arhaus.
Then the room became the
Winter Sunroom of Black and Blue and White too!
Yes, that title is correct.
I have more Christmas Trees.
So, come along with me as I give you a Christmas Tree Tour and More Trees
that you have not seen or maybe just glimpses of them.
We shall start in the Great Room.
Today, I have a Mini Christmas Tour for you.
I guess you can say it’s Part One of my Christmas Home Tour.
I do have a some sneak peeks of rooms I that I have yet to reveal.
Let’s start with the Dining Room.
The first room in which I usually initiate my Christmas decorating each year,
other than the foyer, is my Sunroom.
This year was no different. I began decorating the room
by putting up my Memory Tree. The tree that is filled with ornaments
that I have collected and have been gifted to me over many, many years.
I was actually decorating this tree Halloween night!
Yes . . . placing ornaments on the tree in-between answering the calls of the
Trick or Treaters for their treats.
Now, it is definitely Christmas in the Sunroom.
When the photographer working with the real estate company sent me the photos
of what she took of the house, I realized that I rarely photograph several
rooms of the house. So today I will present some of the rooms that I rarely photograph,
the kitchen and the laundry room.
There will be more soon!
I think the reason why I do not photograph these rooms as often,
is that I am usually not happy with the lighting.
Lots of shadows bouncing all over, but I finally, finally,
ordered something that will come soon to alleviate that problem.
Fall is definitely creeping in a bit in my part of the country.
We have cooler temps . . . well, cooler to me means it is not in the 90’s . . .
and I can see some slight changes in the color of the leaves on some trees.
That being said, it is time for my Fall Home Tour AND A GIVEAWAY!!!
So grab a seat and your favorite beverage and come along!
